chemical, water.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Evacuate area. Fight fire from a safe distance. Fire-fighters
should wear full emergency equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective
clothing. Use cold water spray to cool fire-exposed containers to minimize risk of rupture.
May generate toxic or irritating combustion
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
products. Sudden reaction and fire may result if product is mixed with an oxidizing agent. May
generate carbon monoxide gas. Personnel in vicinity and downwind should be evacuated.
V. REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable
CONDITIONS TO AVOID (if unstable): Not applicable
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Mineral acids (i.e. sulfuric, phosphoric, etc.)
Organic acids (i.e. acetic acid, citric acid, etc.) Oxidizing Agents (i.e. perchlorates, nitrates, etc).
Reactive metals (i.e. sodium, calcium, zinc etc.). Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite. Product
slowly corrodes copper, aluminum, zinc and galvanized surfaces. Dehydrating agents. Reaction
with peroxides may result in violent decomposition of peroxide possibly creating an explosion.
Materials reactive with hydroxyl compounds. 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 hat material.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BYPRODUCTS (from burning, heating, or reaction with
other materials).: Nitrogen oxide can react with water vapors to form corrosive nitric acid
(TLV=2 ppm). Carbon Monoxide in a fire. Carbon dioxide in a fire. Ammonia when heated.
Nitrogen Oxides in a fire. Irritating and toxic fumes at elevated temperatures. Nitric acid in a
fire. Aldehydes. The oxides of nitrogen gases (except nitrous oxide) emitted on decomposition
are highly toxic.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID (if polymerization may occur): Not applicable

VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
ROUTES OF ENTRY:
INHALATION? Yes.
SKIN CONTACT? Yes.
EYE CONTACT? Yes.
INGESTION? Unknown.
ACUTE HEALTH HAZARDS:
INHALATION- 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. Risk of exposure to hazardous concentrations of vapor under normal working conditions
in a well ventilated space is minimal. However, conditions such as spraying, or sudden release
of hot liquid, which generate an aerosol, mists or fog should be avoided.
SKIN- Contact with the skin may cause dryness (defatting), itching and/or rash. Contact
with the skin causes irritation, redness and discomfort with is transient.
EYE- Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and pain.
INGESTION- No information available.
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS:
Repeated and/or prolonged exposures may result in: liver disorders (such as jaundice or
liver enlargement), kidney disorders (such as edema, or proteinuria), 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).
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to low concentrations of vapor may cause: sore throat, eye
irritation which are transient.
TARGET ORGANS:
Eye.
Skin.
Liver or hepatic system.
Kidney.
Respiratory System.
CARCINOGENICITY:
NTP (National Toxicology Program)? No.
IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer)? No.
OSHA REGULATED? No.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Asthma, chronic
respiratory disease (e.g. bronchitis, emphysema), Eye disease, kidney disorders, liver disorders,
skin disorders and allergies.

VI. HEALTH HAZARD DATA (continued)
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION- Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, administer oxygen (qualified medical personnel only). See medical attention
immediately.
SKIN- Remove all contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water
for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before wearing again. Clean shoes before wearing again. If
irritation develops or persists, consult a physician.
EYE- Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, using fingers to hold eyelids open
to insure that the eyes are being irrigated. Consult a physician if ill effects or irritation occurs.
INGESTION- Give two glasses of water for dilution. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
VII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING & USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
o Stop the spill or leak.
o Contain or dike the spilled product.
o Evacuate spill area and keep nonessential or unprotected personnel away.
o Equip clean-up personnel with necessary personal protective equipment (see Section VIII-Control
Measures).
o Prevent spilled material from entering soil, sewers, surface water, ground water, streams, or any
other bodies of water.
o Retain any contaminated water for removal and treatment.
o Absorb small spills with inert material (e.g. dry sand, earth, chemical absorbent, etc.).
o Scoop up absorbed material and absorbent and place in an approved chemical waste container.
o Large spills may be taken up with pump or vacuum & then finished off with dry absorbent.
o Report spill per regulatory requirements.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local
regulations.
VII. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING & USE (continued)
EMPTY CONTAINER PRECAUTIONS: Empty containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor)
and can be hazardous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose such containers to
heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. All containers should be disposed of in
an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING & STORING: Keep away from: acids, oxidizers.
Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage and in closed containers. Store in steel containers
preferably located outdoors, above ground, and surrounded by dikes to contain spills or leaks.
Do not store in reactive metal containers.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Emergency showers and eye wash stations should be readily accessible.
Adhere to work practice rules established by government regulations (e.g. OSHA).
