POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS, SKIN
Contact may cause reddening, pain, itching, inflammation and possible tissue damage. Repeated or prolonged
skin contact may cause reddening, itching and inflammation.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS, EYE
SLIGHTLY TO MODERATELY IRRITATING. Direct contact may cause irritation, redness, tearing and blurred
vision.

4 FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN
Immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get
medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
EYE
Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away from the
eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, institute rescue breathing. If breathing is difficult, ensure airway is clear
and give oxygen.
Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

INGESTION
If victim is conscious and alert, give 1-3 glasses of water to dilute stomach contents. If swallowed, induce
vomiting as directed by a local physician, hospital, or poison control center. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
If spontaneous vomiting occurs keep head below hips to prevent aspiration and monitor for breathing difficulty.
Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
Decomposition begins at 222 癋 (106 癈). May form ammonia, carbon dioxide, biuret, cyanic acid, cyanuric
acid, and nitrogen oxides.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Use water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, all purpose AFFF or carbon dioxide to extinguish fire.
BASIC FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire.
Use water spray to cool adjacent structures and to protect personnel. Shut off source of flow if possible.
Firefighters must wear MSHA/NIOSH approved positive pressure breathing apparatus (SCBA) with full face
mask and full protective equipment.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
EMERGENCY ACTION
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind. (See Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection in Section 8.)
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
If product is released to the environment, take immediate steps to stop and contain release. Caution should be
exercised regarding personnel safety and exposure to the released product. Notify local, provincial and/or
federal authorities, if required.
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE
Shovel into a container for later disposal. Avoid cleanup procedures that may result in water pollution.
Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Avoid excessive generation of dust. If dust is generated, appropriate respiratory, eye and skin protection
should be used to protect personnel during clean-up.
See Exposure Controls/Personal Protection (Section 8).

7 HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING
Do not cut, grind, drill, weld in the vicinity of the product or reuse containers unless adequate precautions are
taken against these hazards.
Avoid inhaling dust and contact with skin and eyes.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas of use or storage.
Avoid contact with brass, bronze, galvanized metal, copper and other copper alloys.
STORAGE
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, isolated, well-ventilated area away from heat, sources of ignition
and incompatibles. Avoid contact with strong oxidizers.
Empty containers may contain product residue. Do not reuse without adequate precautions.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General or local exhaust ventilation and other forms of engineering controls are the preferred means for
controlling exposures.
EYE PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Wear chemical safety goggles and face shield. Have eye washing facilities readily available where eye contact
can occur.
SKIN PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Avoid skin contact with this material.
If skin contact is anticipated, protective clothing, including impervious gloves, should be worn. Use of coveralls
is suggested.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)
A NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator should be used as a precautionary measure when airborne
contaminates may occur, when there is a potential for uncontrolled release, or when exposure levels are not
known.

TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
Acute or chronic overexposure to this material or its components may cause systemic toxicity, including
adverse effects to the following: kidney, liver and blood.
Exposure to components of this material may cause the following specific symptoms, depending on the
concentration and duration of exposure: interocular pressure effects, diuresis, disorientation and confusion,
loss of body salts, hyponatremia and hypokalemia.
Traces of ethylene oxide may be present in this product and could accumulate in the head space of storage
and transport vessels. These trace amounts are not expected to result in either acute or long term hazard when
this product is handled using proper personal protection. Ethylene oxide is a cancer hazard and a reproductive
