Special Fire fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.

Steps to be taken in Case Xanthan Gum is Released or Spilled:
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. Do not let product enter drains. Small amounts of residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty of water.

Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating. Keep in a well closed container stored under cold to warm conditions, 2 to 40 C, (36 to 104F) in a ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): None needed under normal conditions of use with adequate ventilation. NIOSH approved equipment should be worn if PELs are exceeded.
