Introduction The Glo Germ Powder is 100% synthetic Organic Colorant A-594-5 (Blaze Orange or Invisible Blue are
the two available colors. The following information applies to both colors). The Glo Germ Powder is not diluted with any
inert material. Therefore it is highly concentrated. The plastic particles are 5 microns and smaller. When the powder is
鈥榩uffed鈥? or thrown into the air like dust, it is a lung irritant. The Glo Germ Company strongly recommends minimizing
dust or powder in the air.

Special firefighting procedures: Clear area of personnel. Approach upwind. Wear self-contained breathing
apparatus.

Section VIII 鈥? Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur
Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers (i.e., chlorine, peroxides, chromate, ni-

Conditions to avoid: Excessive dust in the vicinity of electrical or other spark generating equip-
ment should be avoided, as should extremely warm temperatures.
Hazardous decomposition products: The fumes and smoke released contain oxides of carbon, sulfur, and
nitrogen, which are highly toxic. Do not breath smoke or fumes. Wear suit-
able protective equipment.
