Product Name: Thin Layer Chromatography of Marijuana, Reagent #2
MSDS No.: KRL108
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Skin, eye, respiratory, kidney, heart, central nervous system, liver, gastrointestinal system, excretory system diseases
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen (To be
administered by qualified medical personnel only!) Get medical attention.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cups of milk or water. (Never give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person!) Aspiration hazard. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Do not allow victim to
rub or keep eyes closed. Get medical aid immediately.
Other Health Warnings:
Toxicity may be increased by exposure to alcohol, steroids, and ketones.
V. Fire Fighting Measures:
Flash Point: 0 F Lower Explosive Limit: 1.1 Upper Explosive Limit: 5.9
F.P. Method:
Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam, regular foam
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. DO NOT use straight streams of water. Water may be
ineffective, but may be used to cool fire-exposed containers. Cool containers with flooding amounts of water until well after fire is
out.
Unusual Fire and Explosion:
Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Vapors from this product may travel some distance from original point to an ignition
source and flash back. Vapors may be heavier than air. They may spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
This material is partially soluble in water, and may be spread by the use of water in an area where water can not be contained.
Containers may explode when heated.
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VI. Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Wear vapor respirator, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. Remove sources of ignition (i.e. open flames, sparks). Soak up with
inert absorbent material (dry sand or earth recommended; do not use flammable substances such as sawdust). Use a spark-proof
tool. Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage:
Precautions to be Taken:
Keep in closed container. Keep cool and dry. Avoid direct sunlight. Avoid ignition sources (heat, open flame, spark). Avoid
incompatible materials. Prevent build-up of vapors to explosive concentration. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation and ingestion. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Other Precautions:
"Empty" containers may contain product residue and may be dangerous. Empty containers should be completely drained and
bunged and then disposed of according to local, state, and federal regulations.
