Emergency Overview
Caution! This beige powder or bead product is an adsorbent/dessicant. Ingestion, inhalation, or contact with
eyes, skin, or mucous membranes may cause irritation or thermal burns. Addition of water generates
considerable heat. Spills of product in bead form will be slippery and can cause falls if walked on.
Potential Health Effects: Eyes
Dust or powder may irritate or burn eye tissue.
Potential Health Effects: Skin
Contact may cause dryness or irritation. Prolonged contact may lead to dermatitis or sensitization.

drainage system or open water courses.
Evacuation Procedures
Persons not wearing appropriate protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has
been completed.
Special Procedures
Product evolves heat on contact with moisture.
* * * Section 7 - Handling and Storage * * *
Handling Procedures
Do not inhale dusts generated from this product. Do not get in eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Wash thoroughly
after handling product. Keep product away from moisture. Considerable heat is generated when product is mixed
with water.
Storage Procedures
Store in a dry place. Open container slowly to avoid creating or raising dust. Product shelf life is unlimited if kept
dry in an airtight container. To prevent loss of product effectiveness, ensure containers are tightly resealed after
opening. Do not return used or unused product to original container.
