MSDS L-230 (Rev. 1)
FIRE FIGHTING - Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk. Apply cooling water to sides of containers
that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Extinguish only if flow can be stopped; use flooding amounts of
water as a fog, solid streams may be ineffective. Avoid breathing vapors, keep upwind.
HEALTH HAZARD DATA
NOTE: The acute health effects described below are those which could potentially occur for the finished product. They
are based on the toxicology information available for the finished product and/or each hazardous ingredient, and are
consistent with the product type and the likelihood of a specific route of exposure. Known chronic health effects related to
exposure to a specific ingredient are indicated.
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION: Unlikely to occur due to the physical properties of the product.
SKIN CONTACT: Repeated or prolonged excessive contact may cause irritation.
EYE CONTACT: May cause irritation.
INGESTION: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS: None known.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS BEING AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing
skin conditions.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: Immediately remove from exposure area to fresh air . Keep affected person warm and at rest. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Contact physician or local poison control center. If breathing has stopped, give
artificial respiration, and get medical attention immediately.
SKIN CONTACT: Rinse affected area with water until no evidence of product remains. Get medical attention if irritation
persists.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no
evidence of product remains. Get medical attention if pain or irritation persist.
INGESTION: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Maintain airway and respiration. If vomiting occurs, keep head
below hips to prevent aspiration. Dilution by rinsing the mouth and giving water or milk to drink is generally
recommended. If unconscious, the victim should not be given anything to drink. Contact physician or local poison
control center.
REACTIVITY
REACTIVITY - Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
INCOMPATIBILITIES: Strong oxidizers, acids.
DECOMPOSITION - Thermal decomposition may release toxic and/or hazardous gases, including ammonia.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store away from incompatible substances and excessive heat. Observe all federal, state and local regulations when
storing or disposing of this substance.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
Avoid contact with incompatible substances and excessive heat.
SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURES
OCCUPATIONAL SPILL - Stop leak if you can do it without risk. For small spills, take up with sand or other absorbent
material and place into containers for later disposal. For larger spills, dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Keep
unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and restrict entry.
OCCUPATIONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
VENTILATION - Provide local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants as low as
possible.
RESPIRATOR - If respiratory protection is required, it must be based on the contamination levels found in the workplace,
must not exceed the working limits of the respirator and be jointly approved by the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (NIOSH-MSHA).
FOR FIRE FIGHTING AND OTHER IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR HEALTH CONDITIONS -
Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-
pressure mode. Any supplied-air respirator that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-
demand or other positive-pressure mode.
CLOTHING - Protective clothing is required where repeated or prolonged excessive skin contact may occur.
GLOVES - Chemical-resistant gloves are required where repeated or prolonged excessive skin contact may occur.
EYE PROTECTION - Safety glasses are required to prevent eye contact where splashing of product may occur.
