TO DILUTE.
=======================================================
Handling and Disposal
=======================================================
Spill Release Procedures: NOTIFY SAFETY PERSONNEL OF SULFAMIC ACID LEAK.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. WEAR PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTION TO PREVENT
INHALATION OF DUST & SKIN/EYE CONTACT. COLLECT SPILLED MATERIAL FOR
DISPOSAL OR RECOVERY BY DAMP SWEEPING & SCOOPING INTO CONTAINERS
CAREFULLY. AVOID GENERATION OF DUST. FLUSH TRACE RESIDUES WITH WATER.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER
Waste Disposal Methods: SCRAP MATERIAL CAN BE CAUTIOUSLY MIXED WITH COLD WATER
AND AGITATED TO NEUTRALIZE IT. AFTER NEUTRALIZATION, SMALL AMOUNTS OF WASTE
CAN BE DISCHARGED WITH A LARGE EXCESS OF WATER. FOLLOW FEDERAL, STATE AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Handling And Storage Precautions: STORE SULFAMIC ACID IN CLOSED CONTAINERS IN A
COOL, DRY WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HIGH TEMPERATURES.
PREVENT ABSORPTION OF MOISTURE AND POSSIBLE CAKING. PROTECT CONTAINERS FROM
PHYSICA L DAMAGE.
Other Precautions: AVOID INHALING SULFAMIC ACID DUST OR MISTS. AVOID CONTACT
WITH SKIN & EYES. DO NOT INGEST THIS MATERIAL. USE GOOD HYGIENIC
PRACTICES TO KEEP EXPOSURE TO LOWEST LEVELS. WASH ALL EXPOSED SKIN PRIOR TO E
ATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING AFTER HANDLING MATERIAL.
=======================================================
Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Extinguishing Media: USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE TO THE SURROUNDING FIRE CONDITIONS.
Fire Fighting Procedures: FIRE FIGHTERS MUST USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
APPARATUS AND WEAR FULLY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: THIS MATERIAL CAN EMIT FUMES OF SULFUR DIOXIDE,
SULFUR TRIOXIDE, NITROGEN OXIDES AND AMMONIA GAS WHEN IT IS INVOLVED IN A
FIRE. WATER SOLUTIONS OF SULFAMIC ACID ARE STRONGLY ACIDIC.
=======================================================
Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: AN APPROVED DUST MASK OR RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE AVAILABLE
FOR NONROUTINE OR EMERGENCY USE WHERE DUSTY CONDITIONS OCCUR.
Ventilation: PROVIDE ADEQUATE EXHAUST VENTILATION SUITABLE TO KEEP AIRBORNE
PARTICULATE AT A MINIMUM IN THE WORKPLACE.
Eye Protection: WEAR CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES AND/OR FULL FACESHIELD WHERE
SPLASHING IS POSSIBLE
Other Protective Equipment: WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING APPROPRIATE FOR THE WORK
SITUATION TO MINIMIZE CONTACT OR SULFAMIC ACID WITH SKIN.
Work Hygienic Practices: USE GOOD HYGIENIC PRACTICES TO KEEP EXPOSURE TO LOWEST
LEVELS. WASH ALL EXPOSED SKIN PRIOR TO EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING AFTER
HANDLING MATERIAL.
Supplemental Safety and Health: EYEWASH STATIONS AND SAFETY SHOWERS SHOULD BE
READILY ACCESSIBLE IN AREAS OF USE AND HANDLING. CONTACT LENSES POSE A
SPECIAL HAZARD, SOFT LENSES MAY ABSORB IRRITANTS, AND ALL LENSES CONCENTRATE
THEM.
