Natural Caffeine
We are one of the prominent processors and exporters engaged in offering premium quality Natural
Caffeine. Utilizing high end technology and extraction process, we extract it from Tea, Coffee, Cocoa,
Guarana and some other plants. Further, using various refinery techniques, we properly refine the
caffeine, to make it food and pharmaceutic grade. Available in various packaging sizes, our natural
caffeine is broadly used by food & beverage manufacturers. It is used as an addictive in the “Cola”
drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, caffeinated water, nutritional health & food supplements, and in
several medicines.
Processed & packaged in most hygienic conditions, our natural caffeine conforms to various specifications, prescribed by United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), US Food and Chemical Codex (FCC), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), and Japanese Pharmacopoeia.

Contact Rating: 1 – Slight
Lab Protective Equip : GOGGLES; LAB COAT
Storage Color Code : Orange (General Storage)
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Inhalation:
Inhalation of dust may irritate the mucous membranes and respiratory tract. High concentrations may
produce effects paralleling ingestion.
Ingestion:
Toxic. The adult mean lethal dose is approximately 10 gm. Large doses may produce palpitation,
excitement, insomnia, dizziness, headache and vomiting.
Skin Contact:
Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact:
Causes irritation, redness, and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Excessive use of caffeine may lead to digestive disturbances, constipation, palpitations, shortness of
breath and depressed mental states.Possible teratogen. May cause congenital malformation in the fetus.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.
First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion:
Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids
occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition
source.
Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a
potential dust explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing
apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode
Accidental Release Measures
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust
into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by
moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container.
Handling and Storage
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, 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
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible.
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant
at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH
document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator
may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as
appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
