UNUSUAL FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Danger! Explosion Risk! This product can form an
explosive dust/air mixture. Avoid dust formation and control
ignition sources. Employ grounding, venting and explosion
relief provisions in accord with accepted engineering
practices in process operations capable of generating dust
and/or static electricity.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water may create a slip hazard with product. Use self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
SECTION VII: REACTIVITY DATA

INCOMPATIBILITY (CONDITIONS TO AVOID): Avoid wet, damp and humid conditions, extremes of
temperature and ignition sources. Avoid contact with strong
oxidants such as liquid chlorine, enriched gaseous or liquid
oxygen, and sodium or calcium Hypochlorite.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: see section V
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will Not Occur [XX] May Occur [ ]
SECTION VIII: PREVENTIVE MEASURES
SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use NIOSH approved dust respirator.
VENTILATION: Work in well ventilated areas. Provide mechanical ventilation to
prevent dust concentrations.
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. Slip
hazard when wet. 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
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, <10-100ppm. When tested
in water with more than 10ppm 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.
