Section 4. Hazard Identification
Emergency overview: when heated to decomposition this material may emit toxic gases of
nitrous oxide and ammonia. Irritable to eyes, nose, or mouth.
Potential health effects:
Inhalation: In case of inhalation of fumes from overheating or
combustion, move to fresh air. If needed, seek medical
attention.
Eye contact In case of dust or granule in the eyes, flush thoroughly with
running water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention
Medical Conditions Inhalation of dust may aggravate asthma in susceptible
aggravated by Exposure: individuals. Prolonged skin contact may cause mild skin
irritation.
Section 5. First Aid
Inhalation: In case of inhalation of fumes from overheating or
combustion, move to fresh air. If needed, seek medical
attention.
Eye contact: In case of dust or granule in the eyes, flush thoroughly with
running water.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
Ingestion: Seek medical attention
Section 6. Fire Fighting Measures

Section 7. Accidental Release
Sweep up spills. Use good housekeeping practices. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Avoid dusting or misting conditions during
cleanup. If material is uncontaminated, collect and reuse as recommended for product. If
contaminated, put in appropriate container and dispose. Keep spills away from drinking water
supplies. After cleaning up spill, flush area with water.
Section 8. Handling and Storage
Handling: See label. Wash hands with soap and water after handling
product
Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from incompatible materials
and heat sources. Store away from feed and foodstuffs, as
well as household cleaning products.
Containers: Avoid container breakage; keep away from sparks, flames
and excessive heat.
Carcinogenity: None known
Effects of Exposure: Avoid inhalation or contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Ecological Information: Keep out of lakes, streams or ponds.
Other Concerns: Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Section 9. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Ventilation and personal protection are recommended
whenever dust levels are high or product dos not remain
intact. Running water should be available in case material
gets in eyes.
Respiratory Protection: If airborne dust levels are high or product does not remain
intact, use a combination of engineering controls, such as
ventilation, and personal protection, such as an approved
respirator, to reduce exposures to acceptable levels.
Eyes and Face Protection: None required for product use. High airborne dust levels may
be irritating and use of chemical goggles is suggested.
Skin: None required for normal use. If prolonged or repeated use
irritates skin, use neoprene or PVC gloves.
Other Protective Clothing or
Equipment: Normal work clothing
Work/Hygienic Practices: Open wounds should be kept clean and suitably protected.
