3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION:
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
Clear liquid with a strong characteristic ammonia like odor, harmful if swallowed,
causes eye irritation, may be irritating to the skin or respiratory system. Component B
is an oxidizer which releases oxygen during fire.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE: This material causes severe eye irritation which may result in permanent eye injury.
SKIN: Possible skin irritant. Can cause sensitization or dermatitis upon prolonged contact with
unprotected and stressed skin. Neutralizers can result in defatting and drying of the skin.
INHALATION: Repeated or prolonged inhalation may be harmful.
INGESTION: This material is toxic and is harmful if swallowed.
4. FIRST AID:
EYES: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and
continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined by medical personnel immediately.
SKIN: Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. Get medical
attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse.
INHALATION: This product is a potential respiratory system irritant. If exposed to excessive levels
of vapors, remove to fresh air and get medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop.
INGESTION: If swallowed, call a physician or poison control center immediately. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Note: Component C (Activator) is regulated as a toxic
material by ingestion).
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES:
Flashpoint and Method: >120癈 (248癋) Fisher Tag, closed cup - Activator. Other components are
not combustible.
Flammable Limits: n/a
Automatic Ignition Temp: n/a
General Hazard: Neutralizer is an oxidizing material. Product decomposes to oxygen which may
intensify fire in combustible surroundings.
Fire-Fighting Media: Water, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam.
Special Fire-Fighting Equipment: Respiratory and eye protection required for fire-fighting
personnel. Full protective equipment (bunker gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) should be used for all indoor fires and any significant outdoor fires. For small outdoor fires
which may easily be extinguished with a portable fire extinguisher, use of any SCBA may not be
required.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Can release oxygen and toxic vapors of Hydrogen sulfide and
Sulfur Oxides during decomposition.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
KPSS, Inc. MSDS NUMBER 58650 Page 3 of 5 May 1, 2005
Small spills should be mopped up and flushed with plenty of water. Large spills are to be diked or
otherwise contained to prevent spreading. Absorb spill with an inert material (e.g. dry sand or
earth). DO NOT use combustible materials such as sawdust. Material is to be disposed of in
accordance with Section 13. Spilled liquid will present a slipping hazard, and personnel should be
cautious during cleanup.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Storage Temperature: Ambient Storage Pressure: Atmospheric
General: Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container
closed. Promptly clean up any spillage. Store in a cool, well ventilated area away from
incompatible materials. (see stability and reactivity, Section 10). Keep away from excessive heat or
freezing temperatures.
Specific requirements : Component B - Neutralizers, Keep container closed. Loosen closure
cautiously, contents may develop pressure upon prolonged storage. Protect material from direct
sunlight.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use in well ventilated area. For most conditions, no respiratory
protection should be needed. There are no established exposure limits for this product as a whole.
Wear a NIOSH approved respirator in situations where there may be potential for excessive
airborne exposure for chemicals listed in Section 2.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use impervious gloves such as neoprene.
EYE PROTECTION: If there is potential for direct eye contact with this product during liquid transfer
operation, personnel should wear safety glasses or goggles.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control any air
contaminants.
