UNUSUAL FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND REACTIVITY HAZARDS
This product is considered electrically conductive. Static electricity, mechanical sparks, open flames and
certain hot surfaces (>680掳 F[360掳 C]) can serve as ignition sources for this material.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
Can decompose at high temperatures forming toxic gases.
FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel
from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion. Prevent use of
contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated. Water runoff can cause
environmental damage. If water is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from
spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage system or any body of water.
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions outlined in Section 8. Sweep up material and place in
a compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as
Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into compatible
disposal container. Once all material is clean up and placed in a disposal container, seal container and
arrange for disposition.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING: Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic
application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap
and water after handling.
Bulk bags (FIBC) used to contain this material should be either type B or type C. If type C bags are used,
make sure they are electrically grounded before powder is discharged from the bag.
Handle this material only in electrically conductive equipment. Electrically ground and bond this
equipment as well as any worker who could contact a dust cloud formed of this material. Eliminate the
presence of mechanical sparks and other ignition sources where dust clouds of this material could form.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN STORAGE: Do not store or process above 320掳 F (160掳 C). Store
material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not store
food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area.

UNUSUAL FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND REACTIVITY HAZARDS: This product is considered electrically
conductive. Static electricity, mechanical sparks, open flames and certain hot surfaces (>680掳 F[360掳 C])
can serve as ignition sources for this material. This material is considered explosion class (Kst) 2. This
material can energetically decompose at approximately 383掳 F (195掳 C).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ARE INTENDED FOR THE MANUFACTURE, FORMULATION, PACKAGING AND USE OF THIS
PRODUCT.
FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND/OR ON-FARM APPLICATIONS CONSULT THE PRODUCT
LABEL.
INGESTION PROTECTION: Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco usage and cosmetic application in areas
where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after
handling.
EYE PROTECTION: Where contact is likely, use chemical splash goggles.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering
controls to keep airborne levels below exposure limits. A NIOSH-certified combination air-purifying
respirator with an N, P or R 95 or HE class filter and an organic vapor cartridge may be permissible under
certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection
provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Use a pressure demand atmosphere-supplying respirator if
there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or under any other
circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
SKIN PROTECTION: Where contact is likely, wear chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile or butyl),
coveralls, socks and chemical-resistant footwear. For overhead exposure, wear chemical-resistant
headgear.
