Cannabidiol: >98% (active ingredient)
Other Plant-derived Components: ≤2% (may include trace terpenes, minor cannabinoids, residual solvents depending on extraction method)
Impurities: May include trace solvents (ethanol, CO2 extract residues) and naturally occurring waxes or chlorophyll depending on purity and preparation process
After Inhalation: Move effected person to fresh air, seek medical attention if symptoms persist such as dizziness or respiratory irritation
Skin Contact: Immediately wash area with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing; monitor for irritation
Eye Contact: Flush eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and continue flushing; seek medical help if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; seek guidance from a physician if large quantities are swallowed; do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical staff
Most Important Symptoms: Mild irritation, potential drowsiness, rarely allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or foam
Special Hazards: Combustion produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and various organic compounds; material may burn with a light smoky flame
Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective gear; avoid breathing fumes; remove containers from fire area if possible
Explosion Data: Not explosive, but closed containers can rupture when strongly heated
Personal Precautions: Use PPE such as gloves, safety goggles, and suitable clothing; increase ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drainage, or soil due to persistence of cannabinoids in the environment
Spill Clean-up Procedures: Absorb small spills with sand, earth, or inert absorbent; place in appropriate waste container for disposal; clean contaminated surfaces using soap and water
Precautions for Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid contact with eyes, avoid inhalation of vapors or dust; prohibit eating, drinking, and smoking in area
Storage Conditions: Store in original, tightly closed container; keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and sources of ignition; maintain temperatures below 25°C (77°F)
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, and bases; avoid storage near food and drink
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established for CBD
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels low
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), lab coat or protective suit; NIOSH-approved respirator if dust or vapors are present
Environmental Exposure Controls: Avoid release into the environment; collect and dispose of waste according to local regulations
Appearance: White/off-white crystalline powder or colorless oil
Odor: Slight, characteristic of plant-based extracts
Odor Threshold: Not well defined
pH: Not soluble in water; insoluble. Soluble in oils, ethanol, and other organic solvents
Melting Point: 66–67°C (150–153°F)
Boiling Point: 160–180°C at low pressure
Flash Point: Above 100°C (212°F)
Evaporation Rate: Not applicable
Flammability: Combustible
Vapor Pressure: Very low at room temperature
Relative Density: 1.0–1.1
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in oils and ethanol
Partition Coefficient (log Pow): >5
Viscosity: Not applicable (crystalline or oily liquid form)
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, light exposure, strong oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids and bases, strong oxidizers, some plastics
Hazardous Decomposition Products: May release carbon oxides, low molecular weight hydrocarbons, and corrosive fumes if heated to decomposition
Reactivity: Not reactive with most common chemicals under normal conditions
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 in rats exceeds 2,000 mg/kg; low acute toxicity profile
Chronic Effects: Long-term effects not fully established; known for interaction with endocannabinoid system, may cause drowsiness, lowered blood pressure in high doses
Skin/Eye Irritation: May cause mild irritation
Sensitization: Allergic skin reaction not commonly reported; data limited
Carcinogenicity: Not known to be carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Reproductive Toxicity: Limited animal studies suggest possible effects on embryonic development at very high doses
Ecotoxicity: No data confirming hazard to aquatic organisms at environmental concentrations; persistent cannabinoids in water may impact microbial activity
Persistence and Degradability: High persistence expected, slow biodegradation in most waters and soils; photodegrades partially in sunlight
Bioaccumulation Potential: Cannabinoids tend to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms due to high fat solubility
Mobility in Soil: Low water solubility results in low mobility, tends to remain in top soil layers
Other Adverse Effects: Monitor local regulation concerning cannabinoid disposal and environmental presence, as impact research continues
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect material in properly labeled containers; incinerate in a controlled facility according to local, state, or federal regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Dispose of as unused material; do not reuse empty containers
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release into sewers, surface water, or soil; consult environmental authorities for guidance
UN Number: Not regulated as a hazardous material under UN transport guidelines (non-psychoactive, <0.3% THC)

Transport Hazard Class(es): Not classified as dangerous for road, rail, air, or sea transport
Packing Group: Not applicable
Environmental Hazards: None known
Special Precautions: Secure packaging to prevent leaks; follow regulations for pharmaceutical or plant extracts in transit
United States: CBD with THC content below 0.3% is not scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act; regulations vary by state regarding food, cosmetics, and supplements
Canada: Controlled under Cannabis Act; allowed for specific uses with license
