absorption have been reported.
Inhalation (Breathing): No information available. Studies by other exposure routes suggest a low degree of
toxicity by inhalation.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Ensure physician has access to this MSDS.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Skin, Ingestion
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Effects of overexposure may include irritation of the nose, throat and digestive
tract, headaches, coughing, nausea, vomiting and transient disorientation.
TREATMENT
Eyes: If irritation or redness develops, move victim away from exposure and into fresh air. Flush eyes with clean
water. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Skin: Remove contaminated shoes and clothing and cleanse affected area(s) thoroughly by washing with mild soap
and water. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention.
Inhalation: If respiratory difficulties develop, move victim away from source of exposure and into fresh air. If
symptoms persist, seek medical attention. If victim is not breathing, clear airway and immediately begin artificial
respiration. If breathing difficulties develop, oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. First aid is not normally required; however, if swallowed and symptoms
develop, seek medical attention.
Notes to Physician: None.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
Flammable Properties
Flash Point: None to boiling
Method Used:
Flammability Limits - % of vapor concentration at which product can ignite in presence of spark.
LEL: No data
UEL: No data
Hazardous Combustion Products: Closed containers exposed to extreme heat can rupture due to pressure
building. Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, biuret, cyanuric acid and other irritating fumes and smoke.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill /
release if it can be done with minimal risk. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be
done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors. Cool equipment exposed to
fire with water, if it can be done with minimal risk.
Protective Equipment For Fire Fighters: For fires beyond the incipient stage, emergency responders in the
immediate hazard area should wear bunker gear. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in enclosed or
BLUE DEF? 3
confined spaces, or when explicitly required by DOT, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. In
addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant. (See Section 8.)
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Protect People: Wear appropriate protective equipment, including respiratory protection, as conditions warrant.
(See Section 8.)
Protect the Environment: To prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains or natural watercourses,
contain material with a dike or with appropriate absorbent materials such as sand, clay, soil or commercially
available absorbent. Place reclaimed liquid and absorbent into recovery or salvage drums for disposal. Refer to
Section 13 for appropriate disposal.
Cleanup: Stop the source of the release if it can be done without risk. Immediately isolate the hazard area and
restrict access to authorized personnel only.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Do not enter confined spaces such as tanks or pits without following proper entry procedures such as
ASTM D-4276 and 29CFR 1910.146. The use of appropriate respiratory protection is advised when concentrations
exceed any established exposure limits. (See Sections 2 and 8.) Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not wear
contaminated clothing or shoes. Use good personal hygiene practice.
Storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Do not heat or contact with strong oxidizers. Use and store this material
in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Do not store at temperatures below 40?F. Store only in approved containers.
Keep away from any incompatible material. (See Section 10.) Protect container(s) against physical damage.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not usually required. If significant spray or mist occurs, wear a
NIOSH approved or equivalent dust respirator.
Skin Protection: The use of gloves impermeable to the specific material handled is advised to prevent skin contact,
possible irritation and absorption. (See glove manufacturer for information on permeability.)
Eye Protection: Approved eye protection to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation or injury is
recommended. Depending on conditions of use, a face shield may be necessary.
Engineering Controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to minimize exposure, additional
ventilation or exhaust systems may be required.
Other Protective Equipment: A source of clean water should be available in the work area for flushing eyes and
skin. Impervious clothing should be worn as needed.

No data available.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
This material, if discarded as produced, is not a RCRA "listed" or "characteristic" hazardous waste. Use resulting in
chemical or physical change or contamination may subject it to regulation as a hazardous waste. Along with
properly characterizing all waste materials, consult state and local regulations regarding the proper disposal of this
material.
If this product becomes a waste, it does not meet the criteria of a hazardous waste as defined under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 40 CFR 261, since it does not have the characteristics of Subpart C, nor is
it listed under Subpart D. As a non-hazardous liquid waste, it should be solidified with stabilizing agents such as
sand, fly ash, or clay absorbent, so that no free liquid remains before disposal to an industrial waste landfill.
