closed and store away from water or moisture.
Unusual Fire Hazards: None.
5. Safe Handling Information
5.1 Advice on Safe Handling
Local Exhaust: Recommended.
General Ventilation: Recommended.
Dangerous Goods Class: Not applicable.
Handling Precautions: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid eye contact. Do not take
internally. Exercise good industrial hygiene practice. Wash after
handling, especially before eating, drinking or smoking. If this product is
heated to > 150 degrees C, trace quantities of formaldehyde may be
released, and adequate ventilation is required.
Storage Conditions: Product evolves minute quantities of flammable hydrogen gas which can
accumulate. Adequately ventilate to maintain vapors well below
flammability limits and exposure guidelines. Do not repackage. Do not
repackage to glass containers which may shatter due to pressure build up.
Clogged container vents may increase pressure build up. Keep container
closed and store away from water or moisture.
Unsuitable Packaging Materials: Do not store in or use glass containers.
5.2 Spills
Personal Precautions: Avoid eye contact. Do not take internally.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from spreading or entering into drains, ditches or rivers by using
sand, earth or other appropriate barriers.
Methods for Cleaning up: Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local
emergency plan. Observe all personal protective equipment
recommendations described in this MSDS. If diked material can be
pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container. Materials in
contact with water, moisture, acids or bases have the potential to generate
hydrogen gas. Recovered material should be stored in a vented
container. Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable
absorbant. Clean area as appropriate since spilled materials, even in
small quantities, may present a slip hazard. Final cleaning may require
use of steam, solvents or detergents. Dispose of saturated absorbant or
cleaning materials appropriately, since spontaneous heating may occur.
Laws and regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material,
as well as those materials and items employed in the cleanup of releases.
You will need to determine which laws and regulations are applicable.

AGENT information is below)
Product Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
Packaging Disposal: Packaging should be disposed of in accordance with regional and/or
national regulations.
5.4 Stability and Reactivity
Stability: Material may decompose (generating heat and gas) if exposed to
temperatures in excess of 250 degree C.
Conditions to Avoid: None.
Materials to Avoid: Can react with strong oxidising agents. Water, alcohols, acidic or basic
materials, and many metals or metallic compounds, when in contact with
product, liberate flammable hydrogen gas, which can form explosive
mixtures in air.
Hazardous Decomposition Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds.
Products: Silicon dioxide. Hydrogen. Formaldehyde.
Hazardous Polymerisation: Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
5.5 Fire/Explosion Hazard
Extinguishing Media: On large fires use dry chemical, foam or water spray. On small fires use
carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can be used to
cool fire exposed containers.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None established.
Unusual Firefighting Hazards: None.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local
emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be
worn in fighting large fires involving chemicals.
Hazardous Decomposition Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds.
Products: Silicon dioxide. Hydrogen. Formaldehyde.
Hazchem Code: Not applicable.
6. Regulatory Information
