in: Liver disorders (such as jaundice or liver enlargement), adverse respiratory effects (such as cough, tightness of chest or
shortness of breath), adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis or corneal damage), adverse skin effects (such as rash, irritation
or corrosion). Effects from inhalation of vapors may be delayed. Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of

EYE CONTACT
Hold eyelids apart and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice.
SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove product and immediately flush affected area with water for at least 15
minutes. Cover the affected area with a sterile dressing or clean sheeting and transport for medical care. Do not apply greases
or ointments. Control shock, if present.
INHALATION

case of small fire use: carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, dry sand or limestone.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
A face shield should be worn. Firefighters should wear butyl rubber boots, gloves, and body suit and a self-contained
breathing apparatus. Retain expended liquids from fire fighting for later disposal.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
May generate toxic or irritating combustion products.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
CONTAINMENT TECHNIQUES (Removal of ignition sources, diking etc)
Stop the leak, if possible. Ventilate the space involved. Reduce vapor spreading with a water spray. Shut off or
remove all ignition sources. Construct a dike to prevent spreading (includes molten liquids until they freeze).
CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
If recovery is not feasible, admix with dry soil, sand or non-reactive absorbent and place in an appropriate
chemical waste container. Transfer to containers by suction, preparatory for later disposal. Place in metal
containers for recovery or disposal. Flush area with water spray. Clean-up personnel must be equipped with self
contained breathing apparatus and butyl rubber protective clothing. For large spills, recover spilled material with
a vacuum truck.
OTHER EMERGENCY ADVICE
Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere. Wear protective clothing, boots, gloves, and eye protection. At
elevated temperatures a cartridge mask National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved
for ammonia may be appropriate.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE
Keep away from: acids, oxidizers. Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage areas and in closed containers. Do not store in
reactive metal containers.
HANDLING
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid breathing of vapors. Handle in well-ventilated workspace. When handling,
do not eat, drink, or smoke.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily accessible. Adhere to work practice rules established by
government regulations (e.g. OSHA). Do not use sodium nitrite or other nitrosating agents in formulations containing this
product. Cancer-causing nitrosamines could be formed.

Chemical Safety Glasses with Side-Shields. A full-face shield and vapor respirator is recommended for operations involving
spraying or other operations placing this material under pressurized conditions.
HAND PROTECTION
Neoprene rubber gloves. Impermeable gloves. Cuffed butyl rubber gloves. Nitrile rubber gloves. Polyvinyl chloride
gloves. Rubber Gloves. The breakthrough time of the selected glove(s) must be greater than the intended use
period. The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into
account all requisite workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements
(cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Not required under normal conditions in a well-ventilated workplace. An organic vapor respirator National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved for organic vapors is recommended under emergency
conditions. At elevated temperatures a cartridge mask National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) approved for ammonia may be appropriate.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Long sleeved clothing.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
No specific controls needed.
WORK AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES

Materials to Avoid
Mineral acids, Organic acids, Oxidizing Agents, Reactive metals, Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite.
CAUTION! N-Nitrosamines, many of which are known to be potent carcinogens, may be formed when this product comes in
contact with nitrous acid, nitrites or atmospheres with high nitrous oxide concentrations. Product slowly corrodes copper,
aluminum, zinc and galvanized surfaces. Reaction with peroxides may result in violent decomposition of peroxide possibly
creating an explosion. Materials reactive with hydroxyl compounds. Nitrites, nitrosating agents. A reaction accompanied by large
heat release occurs when the product is mixed with acids. Heat generated may be sufficient to cause vigorous boiling creating a
hazard due to splashing or splattering of hot material.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS (from burning, heating, or reaction with
other materials).
Nitrogen oxide can react with water vapors to form corrosive nitric acid (TLV=2 ppm). Carbon Monoxide in a fire.
Carbon Dioxide in a fire. Ammonia when heated. Nitrogen Oxides in a fire. Irritating and toxic fumes at elevated
Temperatures. Nitric acid in a fire. Nitrosamines. The oxides of nitrogen gases (except nitrous oxide) emitted on
decomposition are highly toxic.
