Exposure controls
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can
be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
Appropriate engineering The basic types of engineering controls are:
controls Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically
"adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

Personal protection

Safety glasses with side shields

Chemical goggles.
Eye and face protection Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing
the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption
and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance
and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed when
making a final choice.
Hands/feet protection Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.
Experience indicates that the following polymers are suitable as glove materials for protection against undissolved, dry solids, where abrasive
particles are not present.
polychloroprene.
nitrile rubber.
butyl rubber.

· Respirators may be necessary when engineering and administrative controls do not adequately prevent exposures.
· The decision to use respiratory protection should be based on professional judgment that takes into account toxicity information, exposure measurement data, and frequency
and likelihood of the worker's exposure - ensure users are not subject to high thermal loads which may result in heat stress or distress due to personal protective equipment (powered,
positive flow, full face apparatus may be an option).
· Published occupational exposure limits, where they exist, will assist in determining the adequacy of the selected respiratory protection. These may be government mandated or
vendor recommended.
· Certified respirators will be useful for protecting workers from inhalation of particulates when properly selected and fit tested as part of a complete respiratory protection
program.
· Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU)
· Use approved positive flow mask if significant quantities of dust becomes airborne.
· Try to avoid creating dust conditions.

SECTION 9 Physical and chemical properties

Information on basic physical and chemical properties

Cream to tan-coloured dry powder; mixes with water. Produced from simple sugars using a fermentation process, and derives its name from the
species of bacteria used, Xanthomonas campestris. he xanthan gum polysaccharide consists of a backbone of beta-(1->4) linkedD-glucose
molecules.Every second glucose molecule is substituted at C3 with a trisaccharide side chain consisting of beta-D-mannose-(1->4)-
b-D-glucuronic acid-(1->2)-a-D-mannose. In the side chains, the terminal mannose moiety is partially substituted with a pyruvate.residue linked
Appearance as an acetal to the 4- and 6- positions; the internal mannose unit is acetylated at C-6. The viscosity of xanthan gum solutions decreases with
higher shear rates; this is called shear thinning or pseudoplasticity. This means that a product subjected to shear, whether from mixing, shaking
or even chewing, will thin out, but, once the shear forces are removed, the food will thicken back up. In salad dressing, for example, the addition
of xanthan gum makes it thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking
and pouring thins it, so it can be easily poured. When it exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and it thickens again,

SECTION 11 Toxicological information

Information on toxicological effects

Excessive inhalation of dust can impede respiration due to its hygroscopic properties, i.e. it can form a paste or gel in the airways.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal
models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an
occupational setting.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability
Inhaled
if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper screenings should be
conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of the material result
in excessive exposures.

The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful by ingestion". This is because of the lack of
corroborating animal or human evidence.
Ingestion Polysaccharides are not easily absorbed from the digestive tract, but may produce a laxative effect. Larger doses may produce intestinal or
stomach blockage.
<
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal
Skin Contact models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational
setting.
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may cause transient discomfort
Eye
characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also result.
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects adverse to the health (as classified by EC Directives using animal
models); nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis, caused by particles less than 0.5
Chronic
micron penetrating and remaining in the lung.
Studies indicate that diets containing large amounts of non-absorbable polysaccharides, such as cellulose, might decrease absorption of calcium,
magnesium, zinc and phosphorus.

specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effect of chemical Substances

Evaluation of workers exposed to xanthan gum dust found evidence of a link to respiratory symptoms.. On May 20, 2011, the FDA issued a press
release about SimplyThick, a food-thickening additive containing xanthan gum as the active ingredient, warning parents, caregivers and health
care providers not to feed SimplyThick, a thickening product, to premature infants[. The concern is that the product may cause premature infants
to suffer necrotizing enterocolitis. According to a 2017 safety review by a scientific panel of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), xanthan
gum (European food additive number E 415) is extensively digested during intestinal fermentation, and causes no adverse effects, even at high
intake amounts. The EFSA panel found no concern about genotoxicity from long-term consumption. EFSA concluded that there is no safety
concern for the general population when xanthan gum is consumed as a food additive. Xanthan gum (E 415) can be regarded as non-toxic based
on the results of acute oral toxicity studies.From short-term and subchronic toxicity studies, no toxicological relevant changes were reported apart

from a decrease in red blood cell count and haemoglobin concentration in dogs receiving 2,000 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day for 12 weeks.
This effect was marginal and it was not reproduced in a dog chronic toxicity study at 1,000 mg/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested. The EFSA
Panel noted that decreased total serum cholesterol was frequently reported.For genotoxicity, insufficient experimental data were available.
However, taking into account the information on structure–activity relationships and considering that xanthan gum has a molecular w eight far
above the threshold for absorption, according to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) data, it was not degraded in the
intestine and is slightly fermented to non-hazardous short-chain fatty acids by the gut microbiota, the Panel concluded that xanthan gum (E 415)
does not give rise to concerns for genotoxicity.In chronic and long-term studies, no adverse effects, including biochemical and haematological

parameters, were reported in dogs and rats. From a human study with repeated intake ranging from 10.4 to 12.9 g of xanthan gum per
day(assuming a body weight of 70 kg corresponding to 149–184 mg/kg bw per day), it was reported that xanthan gum acts as a bulk laxative
causing no adverse dietary nor physiological effects. The only effects observed were moderate (10%) reduction in serum cholesterol (p<0.05)
and a significant increase in faecal bile acid concentrations (p<0.05) .A study investigating the effect of repeated intake of 15 g xanthan gum/day
(assuming a bodyweight of 70 kg corresponding to 214 mg/kg bw per day) on colonic function showed significant increases in stool output
(p<0.01), frequency of defecation (p<0.05) and flatulence (p<0.01) due to the ingestion of the xanthan gum.In clinical studies involving infants,
the Panel noted that consumption of xanthan gum in infant formula or formula for special medical purposes in infant was well tolerated, did not
influence minerals(Ca, P, Mg), fat and nitrogen balance and did not affect growth characteristics up to concentration of 1,500 mg/L (232 mg/kg bw
per day). These results were supported by the outcome of the post-marketing surveillance with formulae containing xanthan gum at a
concentration of approximately 750 mg/L of reconstituted formula. No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.

Sugar-based compounds (saccharides), including polysaccharides are generally easily decomposed by biodegradation. Not all polysaccharides decompose with equal rapidity, and
polysaccharides are also synthesised by microorganisms during, for example, the compost maturation phases. Water-insoluble species such as cellulose take longer to decompose
and those with a significant degree of branching also take longer.

SECTION 13 Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their
area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
Reduction
Reuse
Recycling
Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
Product / Packaging disposal
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first.
Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.
Recycle wherever possible.
Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or
disposal facility can be identified.
Dispose of by: burial in a land-fill specifically licensed to accept chemical and / or pharmaceutical wastes or Incineration in a licensed
apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material)
Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
