SHORT DESCRIPTION

Albumen from Egg Powder Extra Pure is a high-purity, finely milled powder derived from the whites of hen eggs, known for its exceptional binding, foaming, and emulsifying properties. This premium-grade product is widely used in biochemical research, microbiological media, and pharmaceutical formulations where high protein content and purity are essential. Its excellent solubility in water and consistent performance make it ideal for applications in diagnostics, nutritional studies, and electrophoresis. In addition, it serves as a reliable protein source in specialized dietary products and laboratory-grade food testing. To preserve its functionality and shelf life, Albumen Powder should be stored in a tightly sealed container, away from moisture and heat.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear protective gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, and a dust mask or respirator (especially when handling large quantities).
- Avoid skin and eye contact and prevent inhalation of dust.
Handling:
- Handle in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid creating or inhaling dust.
- Be cautious if allergic to egg proteins—may cause allergic reactions.

- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
- Keep container tightly sealed and away from moisture.
- Protect from pests and microbial contamination.
Hygiene Measures:
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
- Avoid contact with mucous membranes.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling the powder.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:
- Move to fresh air.
- Rinse mouth and nose with water.
- Seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms occur—especially if allergic.
