Emergency Overview: Caution! May cause mechanical irritation of eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Long
term inhalation of particulates may cause lung damage.
Canadian WHMIS:
UN PIN No: WHMIS Class:
Not regulated Not a controlled product.
Physical Odor: Color:
Powder Odorless White
State:
Potential Health Effects:
Acute Effects
Eye Contact: May cause mechanical irritation
Skin Contact: May cause mechanical irritation.
Inhalation: May cause mechanical irritation.
Ingestion: May cause gastric distress, nausea and vomiting if ingested.
Acute Effects Note: This product may release ammonia or amines when heated or exposed to high pH. Ammonia is
a severe eye, skin and respiratory irritant. Ammonia has a very strong odor and can be detected at levels as low as 5
ppm. Many amines are also eye, skin and respiratory irritants.

Carcinogenicity & Chronic See Section 11 - Toxicological Information.
Effects:
Routes of Exposure: Eyes. Dermal (skin) contact. Inhalation.
Target Organs: Eyes. Skin. Respiratory System.
Medical Conditions Aggravated Skin. Respiratory.
By Over Exposure:
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Promptly wash eyes with lots of water while lifting eye lids. Continue to rinse for at
least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and
launder before reuse. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Dilute with 2 - 3 glasses of water or milk, if conscious. Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person. If signs of irritation or toxicity occur seek medical
attention.
General Notes: Persons seeking medical attention should carry a copy of this MSDS with them.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties
Flash Point: F (C): NA
Flammable Limits in Air - Lower (%): ND
Flammable Limits in Air - Upper (%): ND
Autoignition Temperature: F(C) ND
Flammability Class: NA
Other Flammable Properties: Particulate may accumulate static electricity. Dusts at sufficient concentrations
can form explosive mixtures with air.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Protection Of Fire-Fighters:
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures: Do not enter fire area without proper personal protective equipment, including
NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Water
spray may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Keep water run off out of sewers and waterways.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Ammonia or amines. Oxides of: Carbon. Nitrogen.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment identified in Section 8.
Spill Procedures: Evacuate surrounding area, if necessary. Wet product may create a slipping
hazard. Contain spilled material. Avoid the generation of dust. Sweep, vacuum,
or shovel and place into closable container for disposal.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter sewer or surface and subsurface waters. Waste must be
disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local laws.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Avoid generating or breathing dust. Product is slippery if wet. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.

MSDS NO. 10068 Revision Date: 10/08/2003 Page 3/5
Storage: Store in dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Store away from
incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing practices regarding palletizing, banding,
shrink-wrapping and/or stacking.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits (TLV & PEL - 8H TWA):
Ingredient CAS NO: Wt. % ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL Other Notes
Anionic acrylamide 90 - 100 NA NA NA (1) (6)
copolymer
Notes
(1) Control as an ACGIH particulate not otherwise specified (PNOS): 10 mg/m3 (Inhalable); 3 mg/m3 (Respirable) and
an OSHA particulate not otherwise regulated (PNOR): 15 mg/m3 (Total); 5 mg/m3 (Respirable).
(6) Ammonia or amines may be released when this component is heated or exposed to high pH. The recommended
exposure limits for ammonia are ACGIH TLV 25 ppm and OSHA PEL 50 ppm. No general recommended exposure
limit is available for amines. A NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator with ammonia/methylamine cartridges should be
used to protect against ammonia or amine inhalation exposure.
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate engineering controls such as, exhaust ventilation and process enclosure, to
ensure air contamination and keep workers exposure below the applicable limits.
Personal Protection Equipment
Eye/Face Protection: Dust resistant safety goggles.
Skin Protection: Not normally necessary. If needed to minimize irritation: Wear appropriate clothing
to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Wear chemical resistant gloves
such as: Nitrile. Neoprene.
Respiratory Protection: If exposed to particulates/aerosols:
Use at least a NIOSH-approved N95 half-mask disposable particulate respirator.
In work environments containing oil mist/aerosol use at least a NIOSH-approved
P95 half-mask disposable or reuseable particulate respirator.
If exposed to organic vapors:
Use a NIOSH/MSHA-approved organic vapor respirator. CCROV: CCR with
organic vapor cartridge.
Refer to Exposure Limits table (Section 8) for component specific respiratory
protection recommendations.
General Hygiene Work clothes should be washed separately at the end of each work day.
Considerations: Disposable clothing should be discarded, if contaminated with product.
