ROUTES OF EXPOSURE
Eye Contact
Skin Contact
Ingestion
Inhalation
Skin Absorption
EXPOSURE STANDARDS
No standards established for the product. Maintain air contaminant
concentrations in the workplace at the lowest feasible levels.
HEALTH HAZARDS
Moderate skin irritant.
May cause eye irritation.
Respiratory Irritant.
May cause skin sensitization.
TARGET ORGANS
Eye
Skin
Respiratory system
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE (Acute effects)
Product vapor in low concentrations can cause lacrimation,
conjunctivitis and corneal edema when absorbed into the tissue of
the eye from the atmosphere. Corneal edema may give rise to a
perception of ''blue haze'' or ''fog'' around lights. The effect
is transient and has no known residual effect. Contact with skin
causes irritation, redness and discomfort which is transient.
Inhalation of mists may cause irritation in the respiratory tract.
Inhalation of vapors may cause irritation in the respiratory
tract. Coughing and chest pain may result. Contact with eyes may
cause irritation.
Product is absorbed through the skin and may cause nausea,
headache and general discomfort.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE (Possible Longer Term Effects)
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure may cause allergic
reaction/sensitization.
Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may result in: adverse
respiratory effects (such as cough, tightness of chest or
shortness of breath), adverse eye effects (such as conjunctivitis
or corneal damage), adverse skin effects (such as rash, irritation
or corrosion).
Effects from inhalation of vapors may be delayed. Repeated and/or
prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapor may cause: sore
throat, eye irritation which are transient.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Asthma
Chronic respiratory disease (e.g. Bronchitis, Emphysema)
Eye disease
Skin disorders and Allergies
CARCINOGENS UNDER OSHA, ACGIH, NTP, IARC, OTHER
This product contains no carcinogens in concentrations of 0.1
percent or greater.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE CONTACT
Hold eyelids apart and immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical advice.
SKIN CONTACT
Remove product and immediately flush affected area with water for
at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek
medical advice.
INHALATION
Move patient to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is labored
give assisted respiration (e.g. mouth-to-mouth). Supplemental
oxygen may be indicated. Prevent aspiration of vomit. Turn
victim's head to the side. Seek medical advice.
INGESTION
If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Remove stomach
contents by gastric suction or induce vomiting only as directed by
medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.

FIRE HAZARD CLASSIFICATION (OSHA/NFPA)
Class IIIB
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Ignition will give rise to a Class B fire. In case of large fire
use: water spray, alcohol foam. In case of small fire use: carbon
dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, dry sand or limestone.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Firefighters should wear butyl rubber boots, gloves, and body suit
and a self-contained breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
May generate toxic or irritating combustion products.
Sudden reaction and fire may result if product is mixed with an
oxidizing agent.
May generate carbon monoxide gas.
May generate toxic nitrogen oxide gases. May generate ammonia gas.
Personnel in vicinity and downwind should be evacuated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTAINMENT TECHNIQUES (Removal of ignition sources, diking etc)
Stop the leak, if possible. Ventilate the space involved. Reduce
vapor spreading with a water spray. Shut off or remove all
ignition sources. Construct a dike to prevent spreading (includes
molten liquids until they freeze).
CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
If recovery is not feasible, admix with dry soil, sand or non-
reactive absorbent and place in an appropriate chemical waste
container. Transfer to containers by suction, preparatory for
later disposal. Place in metal containers for recovery or
disposal. Flush area with water spray. Clean-up personnel must be
equipped with self contained breathing apparatus and butyl rubber
protective clothing. For large spills, recover spilled material
with a vacuum truck.
OTHER EMERGENCY ADVICE
Open enclosed spaces to outside atmosphere. Wear protective
clothing, boots, gloves, and eye protection. At elevated
temperatures a cartridge mask National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved for ammonia may be appropriate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
STORAGE
Keep away from: acids, oxidizers. Keep in cool, dry, ventilated
storage and in closed containers. Do not store in reactive metal
containers. Product may partially freeze with extended exposure to
cold temperatures, resulting in crystallization, haziness or
separation. If this occurs, product should be warmed to 100-140F
(38-60C) for one hour and stirred until clear.
HANDLING
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. When handling, do not eat, drink,
or smoke.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily
accessible. Adhere to work practice rules established by
government regulations (e.g. OSHA). Do not use sodium nitrite or
other nitrosating agents in formulations containing this product.
Cancer-causing nitrosamines could be formed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 8 - PERSONAL PROTECTION / EXPOSURE CONTROLS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE PROTECTION
Chemical safety glasses.
HAND PROTECTION
Neoprene rubber gloves. Impermeable gloves. Cuffed butyl rubber
gloves. Nitrile rubber gloves. Polyvinyl chloride gloves.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Not required under normal conditions in a well-ventilated
workplace. An organic vapor respirator National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved for organic vapors
is recommended under emergency conditions. At elevated
temperatures a cartridge mask National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved for ammonia may be appropriate.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Long sleeved clothing.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
No specific controls needed.
WORK AND HYGIENIC PRACTICES
Provide readily accessible eye wash stations and safety showers.
Wash at the end of each workshift and before eating, smoking or
using the toilet.

Mineral acids (i.e. sulfuric, phosphoric, etc.). Organic acids
(i.e. acetic acid, citric acid etc.). Oxidizing Agents (i.e.
perchlorates, nitrates etc.). Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite.
CAUTION! N-Nitrosamines, many of which are known to be potent
carcinogens, may be formed when the product comes in contact with
nitrous acid, nitrites or atmospheres with high nitrous oxide
concentrations. Product slowly corrodes copper, aluminum, zinc and
galvanized surfaces. Reaction with peroxides may result in violent
decomposition of peroxide possibly creating an explosion.
Nitrites, nitrosating agents. A reaction accompanied by large heat
release occurs when the product is mixed with acids. Heat
generated may be sufficient to cause vigorous boiling creating a
hazard due to splashing or splattering of hot material.
