PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Wear impervious gloves as a standard procedure.
EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical goggles that meet CSA standards to protect
against dust particles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (Specify): Wear gauntlets and apron, especially for transfer of bulk
quantities of concentrated product. Wear chemical resistant
footwear.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING
WARNING! Eye irritant. Dust generated in handling of this product can be explosive if sufficient quantities are
mixed in air, in which case ignition sources should be avoided. In accordance with good industrial practice, handle
with care and avoid unnecessary personal contact. Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Avoid continuous or repetitive breathing of dust. Use only with adequate ventilation. Remove contaminated
clothing: launder or dry-clean before reuse. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after using. For industrial use
only.
Material is slippery when wet. Store in the original container, securely closed, in a cool dry location. Avoid extremes
of temperature and ignition sources.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE THE MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Product becomes slippery and difficult to handle when wet: spills are best handled while still dry. Sweep up and
collect dry product. Absorb wet product with vermiculite or other inert material and place in closable container for
disposal. Scrub area with dry absorbent and then flush residue with water to eliminate slip hazard.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
The product or its solutions should not be allowed to enter waterways without treatment. Product should be
disposed of in accordance with applicable federal, provincial and local regulations. Spilled solutions can create a
hazard because of their slippery nature.
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
From tests on a product range, toxicity to fish (96 hour LC50), when tested in pure water, <10ppm. When tested in
water with more than 10 ppm total dissolved organic carbon, aquatic LC50 is increased by about 100 fold. Acute
affects on aquatic organisms are entirely due to the cationic charge of the polymer, which is completely neutralized
in natural water courses by irreversible absorption onto particles , hydrolysis and dissolved organic carbon.
Biological Oxygen Demand: BOD=990,000 ppm
Chemical Oxygen Demand: COD=170,000 ppm
