Maltose Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Maltose Extra Pure is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units, commonly known as malt sugar. This extra pure grade ensures exceptional quality and consistency, making it ideal for use in biochemical research, fermentation studies, and laboratory analysis. In the food industry, maltose is valued for its mild sweetness and is often used in brewing, baking, and confectionery to promote fermentation and enhance flavor. It also plays a role in energy metabolism studies and is frequently used as a carbon source in microbiological media. Its stability and solubility in water make it easy to incorporate into various formulations, offering a dependable ingredient for scientific and industrial use where high purity is essential.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Wear a lab coat, nitrile gloves, and protective goggles.
Use a dust mask or ensure adequate ventilation if powder is airborne.

Handling:

Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin or eyes.
Handle with care to minimize dust generation.
Wash hands thoroughly after use.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Protect from direct sunlight and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

Move to fresh air.
Get medical attention if respiratory symptoms occur.

Skin Contact:

Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and seek medical advice if irritation develops.

Eye Contact:

Rinse immediately with plenty of water for several minutes.
Remove contact lenses if present.
Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion:

Rinse mouth with water.
Do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical advice if symptoms arise.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability:

Combustible in dust form; may pose a dust explosion hazard in air.

Extinguishing Media:

Use dry chemicals, foam, or CO₂.
Water spray can be used to cool surfaces but may spread dust.

Hazardous Combustion Products:
