PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Explosives Not applicable - - - - There are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecules. (The classification of the physical chemical hazard is done with Barium Stearate, CAS 6865-35-6, as a major example of the barium salts with the carboxylic acids, higher fatty acids)
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - There are no chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties present in the molecule.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
10 Pyrophoric solids Not classified - - - - It is a kind of metal soap, and even if it contacts the normal temperature air, it does not ignite spontaneously.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - No data available
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Stable to water (almost insoluble in water)
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Organic compounds containing no -0-0- structure
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - Test methods applicable to solid substances are not available.

HEALTH HAZARDS
Hazard class Classification Symbol Signal word Hazard statement Precautionary statement Rationale for the classification
1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Category 5 - Warning H303: May be harmful if swallowed P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Based on the oral LD50 = 2506mg/kg in rats (RTECS (2006)), the substance was classified as Category 5. [Note] The health hazard classification was made by using the data from barium stearate (CAS: 6865-35-6) as a representative example for the barium salts of carboxylic acid (higher fatty acid).
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid (GHS definition)
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - Data without. In addition, there are some which indicate skin irritation in the metallic salts of stearate (Refer to magnesium stearate (ID 818, CAS: 557-04-1), sodium stearate (ID 817, CAS: 822-16-2) and zinc stearate (ID 816, CAS: 557-05-1)).
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - Without Data. In addition, some of the metal salt of stearic acid causes eye irritation (refer to magnesium stearate (ID818, CAS: 557-04-1), sodium stearate (ID817, CAS: 822-16-2), and zinc stearate (ID816, CAS:557-05-1)) .
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - No data available
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available
