Extinguishing Media Dried product will burn. Use alcohol type or all-purpose foam for large fires.
Use CO2 or dry chemical media for small fires.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures Use Self Contained breathing apparatus when fighting fires in enclosed areas.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Liquid form product will not burn but may spatter if temperature exceeds
boiling point of water. Dried solids can burn, giving off oxides of carbon and
other potentially dangerous combustion by-products.

Stable in Solid Form
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) Addition of chemicals, such as acids or multivalent metal salts, may
cause coagulation.

Section VI - Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry:
Inhalation: Trace component and residual monomer vapors may be irritating to eyes, skin, mucous
membranes, respiratory tract, and may produce symptoms of headache and nausea in poorly
ventilated areas.
Skin: Prolonged contact may cause transient reddening of the skin.
Ingestion: No evidence of adverse effects from available information.
Eye: Direct contact may cause eye irritation.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: No emergency care anticipated. Remove to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
Oxygen may be given by qualified personnel if necessary. Call a physician.
Skin: Wash skin with soap and water until water is not cloudy. If clothing is soaked, remove and wash
separately before reuse. Seek medical assistance if skin irritation develops.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel
Eye: Immediately flush eyes with tepid water and continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Remove
contact lenses, if worn. Obtain medical attention if eye irritation develops.
Carcinogenicity: PBS does not contain any materials identified by OSHA, ACGIH, NTP, or IARC as a
potential carcinogen.
Health Hazards (Acute and No evidence of adverse effects from available information. Toxicology studies of
Chronic) similar material have shown the material to be of very low acute toxicity. There is no
specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of
symptoms and the clinical condition.
Signs and Symptoms of May produce symptoms of headache and nausea in poorly ventilated areas and may
Exposure cause transient reddening of the skin.
Medical Conditions A knowledge of available toxicology information and of the physical and chemical
Generally Aggravated by properties of the material suggests that overexposure is unlikely to aggravate existing
Exposure medical conditions.
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Restrict area to only those personnel needed. Major spills should be collected for
Material is Released or disposal. Minor spills may be flushed to sewer if permitted by state, federal and local
Spilled regulations.
Waste Disposal Method Incinerate or bury in suitable landfill where permitted by appropriate government
regulations.
Precautions to Be taken in Handling: Avoid prolonged or repeat contact with skin.
Storage: Store between 4.4oC (40oF) and 43.3oC (110oF)
Handling and Storing
Section VIII - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) In most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if
discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
Recommended: Organic vapor with a particulate pre-filter.
Ventilation
Local Exhaust Use local exhaust if needed to control mist or vapor.
Mechanical (General) General ventilation is expected to be satisfactory in most conditions.
Special Good industrial hygiene practices recommend that engineering controls be used to
control environmental airborne concentrations at or below applicable permissible
exposure limits. However, there are some exceptions where respirators may be used to
control exposure. Respirators may be used when engineering and work practice controls
are not technically feasible, when such controls are in the process of being installed, or
when they fail and need to be supplemented. Respirators may also be used for operations
that require entry into enclosed or confined spaces. If the use of respirators is necessary,
the only respirators permitted are those that have been approved by the Mine Safety and
Health Administration or by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
Respirator selection is the responsibility of the user and should be made only by an
individual who is competent in evaluating potential worker airborne exposure that may
occur during application or removal.
Eye Protection When handling any liquid wear tight fitting chemical goggles or a face shield. An
emergency eyewash facility, which provides at least 15 minutes of tepid water for
flushing, should be immediately available.
Protective Gloves Use gloves impervious to water and soap. Examples of preferred glove barrier material:
Chlorinated polyethylene, Polyethylene, latex, neoprene, viton.
Avoid gloves made of Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
Section IX - Special Precautions
Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storing
1. Avoid breathing vapors in top of shipping container.
2. Keep container closed.
3. Use with adequate ventilation.
4. Avoid contact with skin and clothing.
5. Wash thoroughly after handling.
6. Store above 4 癈 (40 癋). Do not freeze.
