SECTION 16: OTHER INFORMATION
NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 1 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address the hazards that are
presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the
inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to
be generated in significant quantities.
HMIS Hazard Classification
Health: 1 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Protection: X - See PPE section.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS(r)) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical hazards in the workplace. These
ratings are based on the inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of normal use and are not intended for use in emergency
situations. HMIS(r) ratings are to be used with a fully implemented HMIS(r) program. HMIS(r) is a registered mark of the National Paint and
Coatings Association (NPCA).
