EXTINGUISHER MEDIA: Fire extinguishing method of surrounding areas must be discussed.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Firefighters should wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
F. Dike area to prevent runoff and contamination of water sources. Dispose of fire control water later.

Section V 鈥? Reactivity Data
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
STABILITY: Normally stable. Avoid elevated temperatures. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Moisture, heat, flames,
acids, alkalis, sodium nitrate. Evolution of sulphur dioxide under influence of acids. Violent reaction under
influence of oxidizing agents. INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Acids, Alkalis, Oxidizers
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Sulphur dioxide

Section VI - Health Hazard Data
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: Ingestion, Inhalation and Dermal
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: May be harmful if swallowed. In some asthmatics and other 鈥渟ulfite-sensitive鈥?
individuals, may cause severe allergic reactions if swallowed. Contact with acids liberates irritating sulfur dioxide
gas.
EYES: Dust may irritate or cause burning sensation.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact with dust may cause irritation.
CARCINOGENICITY (NTP): Not listed. (IARC): Not Listed. (OSHA): Not listed.

FIRST AID INFORMATION:
INGESTION: Seek medical attention. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-3 glasses of water to drink and do not
induce vomiting. Never give anything to eat or drink to an unconscious, give water to further dilute the chemical.
EYES: In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Flush eyes with
large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. If victim is wearing contact lenses, remove them.
Hold eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of entire surface of the eye and lids with water. DO NOT let
person rub eye(s). Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Oils/ointments should not be used at this time.
Get medical attention if eye irritation occurs.
SKIN: In case of contact, wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse or discard if they cannot be thoroughly cleaned.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing becomes difficult, oxygen may be given, preferably with a
physician鈥檚 advice. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention.
Section VII 鈥? Accidental Release Measures
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear appropriate protective gear for
the situation. Dike or retain dilution water or water from fire fighting for later disposal. Sweep or vacuum up and
place in an appropriate closed container. Clean up residual material by washing area with water and detergent. DO
NOT RETURN MATERIAL TO ITS ORGIINAL CONTAINER. Prevent material from entering public sewer
system or any waterways. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
RCRA Hazard Class: N/A
Section VIII - Storage and Handling
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Advise on safe handling: Provide exhaust ventilation if dust is formed.
FURTHER INFORMATION ON STORAGE CONDITIONS: STORAGE: Cool and dry
Section IX 鈥? Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following information is applicable during the manufacturing process or when handling bulk quantities of this
product.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When respirators are required, select NIOSH/MSHA approved equipment based
on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the latest OSHA standard (29 CFR 1910.134)
and/or ANSI Z88.2 recommendations.
SKIN PROTECTION: Skin contact should be minimized through use of gloves and suitable long-sleeved clothing
(i.e. shirts and pants). Consideration must be given to both to durability as well as permeation resistance.
EYE PROTECTION: Eye and face protection requirements will vary dependent upon work environment conditions
and material handling practices. Appropriate ANSI Z87 approved equipment should be selected for the particular
use intended for this material. It is generally regarded as good practice to wear a minimum of safety glasses with
side shields when working in industrial environments.
OTHER PROTECTION: Minimize breathing dust. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of dust and contact with
skin. Remove contaminated clothing; launder before reuse. Cleanse skin thoroughly after contact. Before meals and
end of work period.
VENTILATION PROTECTION: Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or a potential for
excessive exposure exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques may be used to effectively minimize
employee exposures: local exhaust ventilation at the point of generation.
EXPOSURE LIMITS: N/A
HYGENIC PRACTICES: All food/smoking materials should be kept in a separate area away from the storage/use
location. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where there is a potential for significant
exposure to this material. Before eating, drinking or smoking, hands and face should be thoroughly washed.
Facilities storing or using this material should be equipped with an eyewash and safety shower.
