Section 2: Hazards Identification

• GHS Classification: Not classified as a hazardous substance or mixture under global GHS standards.

• Physical Hazards: None.

• Health Hazards: Non-hazardous under normal industrial handling. High concentrations of airborne dust may cause mild, temporary mechanical eye irritation.

• Environmental Hazards: Non-hazardous.

• Label Elements: None required.

Section 3: Composition / Information on Ingredients

• Chemical Identity: Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

• Concentration Parameters: 98.4 percent minimum purity.

• Synonyms: Halite, Rock Salt, Pink Salt.

• Hazardous Ingredients: None. This pure natural mineral contains rich trace elements like Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, and Calcium which give the crystals their distinct pink color.

Section 4: First-Aid Measures

• Inhalation Protocols: Remove person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation or coughing persists.

• Skin Contact: Non-toxic. Wash affected areas with clean water.

• Eye Contact: Do not rub eyes. Flush thoroughly with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice if mechanical irritation persists.

• Ingestion Hazards: Safe for human consumption. In case of massive, accidental industrial ingestion of raw powder, drink plenty of water and consult a physician if feeling unwell.

Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures

• Flammability Rating: Non-combustible. The product does not burn or support active combustion.

• Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing agents appropriate for the surrounding fire environment like water spray, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical.

• Explosion Hazard: None. The material does not present an explosion hazard under any storage condition.

• Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal decomposition at extreme temperatures exceeding 801 degrees Celsius may release chlorine gas or sodium oxide.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

• Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate dust masks if sweeping in high-density dust crushing zones.

• Environmental Precautions: Avoid discharging massive industrial quantities of salt directly into localized freshwater systems, as high salinity can impact aquatic habitats.

• Clean-up Methods: Dry sweep, shovel, or vacuum spills into dry containers for recovery or disposal. Rinse the spill area with water to remove slippery residues completely.

Section 7: Handling and Storage

• Safe Handling: Minimize dust generation. Avoid direct contact with eyes and wear personal protective equipment in high-volume milling or crushing zones.

• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep materials in tightly closed packaging such as Polypropylene bags or FIBC Jumbo Sacks to protect from ambient moisture and clumping.

• Incompatible Materials: Avoid direct contact with strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, and lithium.

Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

• Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate exhaust ventilation in crushing and grinding facilities to manage dust levels.

• Eye Protection: Use safety glasses with side shields in dust-heavy processing areas.

• Skin Protection: Standard protective work clothing and gloves are recommended for long-term handling.

• Respiratory Protection: Wear an approved N95 dust mask or equivalent particulate respirator if airborne dust concentrations exceed regulatory occupational exposure limits.

Section 9: Physical and Chemical Properties

• Appearance: Solid, crystalline granules or powder.

• Color Spectrum: Varied ranges from Dark Pink and Light Pink to White.

• Odor Profile: Odorless.

• pH Level: 6.7 to 7.3 in aqueous solution.

• Melting Point: 801 degrees Celsius.

• Boiling Point: 1413 degrees Celsius.

• Solubility in Water: 360 grams per Liter at 20 degrees Celsius.

• Specific Gravity: 2.16.

Section 10: Stability and Reactivity

• Reactivity: Stable under standard temperature and pressure.

• Chemical Stability: Highly stable under recommended storage conditions. Absorbs moisture from the air in highly humid environments.

• Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: None under standard industrial processing.

• Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to high humidity and direct water contact during storage.

• Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids.

• Hazardous Decomposition Products: May emit toxic chloride fumes when heated to decomposition temperatures above 801 degrees Celsius.

Section 11: Toxicological Information

• Acute Oral Toxicity: Low toxicity where the LD50 Oral, Rat is 3000 mg/kg.

• Skin Irritation: Non-irritant under normal handling.

• Eye Irritation: May cause mechanical irritation due to dust particles.

• Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH.

• FDA Status: Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for human consumption.

Section 12: Ecological Information

• Ecotoxicity: Generally non-toxic to soil and vegetation. Highly concentrated discharges of saline water can be harmful to freshwater aquatic life where LC50 Pimephales promelas is 7650 mg/L over 96 hours.

• Persistence and Degradability: Naturally occurring mineral. Biodegradation is not applicable to inorganic substances.

• Bioaccumulation Potential: Does not bioaccumulate.

• Mobility in Soil: High water solubility ensures rapid mobility through soil when wet.

Section 13: Disposal Considerations

• Waste Treatment: Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal environmental regulations. Pure salt can often be safely landfilled or dissolved in water for disposal if within regulatory discharge limits.

• Packaging Disposal: Cleaned packaging like PP bags and plastic liners can be recycled or disposed of according to local waste management protocols.

Section 14: Transport Information

• US DOT Classification: Not regulated as a hazardous material for transport.

• IMDG (Marine Shipping): Not regulated as dangerous cargo for international maritime shipping.

• IATA (Air Cargo): Not regulated as dangerous cargo.

• Special Shipping Precautions: Keep cargo dry and sealed during sea transit to prevent moisture absorption and caking.

Section 15: Regulatory Information

• Domestic Compliance: Formally registered commercial manufacturer with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), holding valid National Tax Number 1499153-5. Fully compliant with Punjab Food Authority (PFA) food safety regulations.

• International Regulatory Status: Approved under European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) parameters, US FDA GRAS list, and global Codex Alimentarius standards for food-grade salt.
