(0=Insignificant 1=Slight 2=Moderate 3=High 4=Extreme)
SECTION 4. FIRST AID
Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If skin surface is damaged, apply a clean dressing.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Inhalation: Immediately move victim away from exposure and into fresh air. If victim is not breathing,
clear airway and immediately begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulties develop,
oxygen should be administered by qualified personnel. Seek medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Get medical attention immediately. If patient is conscious
and alert, immediately rinse mouth with water and dilute the ingested material by giving one
glass of milk or water to drink. Call a physician or Poison Control Center. If possible, do
not leave victim unattended.
Note to Physician: This material is corrosive and may cause acid burns, including gastro esophageal perforation.
Late complications of severe acid burns include esophageal, gastric or pyloric strictures and
stenosis.

SECTION 5. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Flash Point: None to boiling.
Test Method: Not available.
LEL Flammable Limits: Not available.
UEL Flammable Limits: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Flammability Classification: Noncombustible.
Known Hazardous Products of Combustion: Not known.
Properties that Initiate/Contribute to Intensity of Fire: Not known.
Potential For Dust Explosion: None.
Reactions that Release Flammable Gases or Vapors: Not known.
Potential For Release of Flammable Vapors: Not known.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: This material will vigorously decompose, releasing carbon dioxide, if heated
above 230-300oF. Closed containers exposed to extreme heat can rupture due
to pressure buildup. Contact with common metals can generate hydrogen,
which can form flammable mixtures in air.
Extinguishing Media: Use that which is appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Emergency responders in the danger area should wear bunker gear and self-
contained breathing apparatus for fires beyond the incipient stage (20 CFR
1910.156). In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as
conditions warrant. Isolate damage area for at least 80 to 160 feet in all
directions, keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be
done with minimal risk. Move undamaged containers from danger area if it
can be done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or
dispersing vapors. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be
done with minimal risk.
SECTION 6. SPILLS AND LEAKS
Containment: Prevent product spillage from entering drinking water supplies or streams. Dike far ahead of spill for
later recovery or disposal.
Clean Up: Absorb onto absorbent material and package for disposal at an appropriate waste disposal facility.
Note: Dilute any remaining pools of liquid 3 or 1 with water and then neutralize with sodium
bicarbonate or sodium carbonate (soda ash). Do not attempt to neutralize without first diluting with
water.
Evacuation: Not necessary.
SECTION 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated
areas. Store only in approved containers. Keep away from incompatible materials. Do
not store near food or feedstuffs. Product degradation may occur if heated above 176oF.
Prolonged storage in mild steel containers is not recommended. Material becomes DOT
corrosive to metal when diluted greater than 48% by volume (92 gal. of water to 100 gal.
of material).
Transfer Equipment: Transfer product using chemical-resistant plastic or stainless steel tanks, pumps, valves,
etc.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Harmful if swallowed. Causes eye and skin irritation. In case of contact, immediately
flush eyes or skin with plenty of water and contact a physician.
DRIP RITE 1000 Page 3 of 4 Issue Date: 01/06
SECTION 8. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eyes: Chemical dust/splash goggles or full-face shield to prevent eye contact. As a general rule, do not
wear contact lenses when handling.
Skin: Impervious gloves and clothes.
Respiratory: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with a N95 filter may be used under conditions
where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator is there is a potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or
any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. A
Ventilation: Recommended but no TLV established.

SECTION 14. TRANSPORTATION
D.O.T. Shipping Description:
Motor Vehicle / Railcar: DOT corrosive to aluminum. Not regulated if transported by
motor vehicle or railcar in packaging that will not react
dangerously or be degraded by this material [See 49 CFR
搂173.154(d)].
Air / Vessel: Corrosive liquid, N.O.S. (monocarbamide dihydrogensulfate),
8, UN1760, PG III
Other Shipping Description: Compounds, Water Treating, Liquid.
(NMFC Item 50313, LTL Class 65)
SECTION 15. REGULATORY INFORMATION
CERCLA: No reportable quantity has been established for this material.
However, since spilled material may release sulfuric acid in
contact with water, an effective RQ of 2040 pounds (calculated
on the potential to generate 1000 pound RQ for Sulfuric Acid)
should be applied in the event of a release or spill.
SARA TITLE III, Section 313 Toxic Chemicals: None
