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.
Invertebrate Toxicity: LC50, 48hr (Daphnia magna): >100 mg/L (tested in well water with 20 mg/L humic acid)
