Section 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
NFPA: Health - 1 Flammability - 0 Reactivity - 0
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with solution or mist may cause eye irritation.
Repeated/prolonged skin contact with solution or mist may cause irritation.
Ingestion may irritate gastrointestinal tract.
Excessive heating may cause ammonia gas to evolve.

Section 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (Cont.)
3.1 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYE: Contact with the eyes by product mist or solution may cause irritation or a burning sensation.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated contact with product mist or solution may cause skin irritation.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Absorption is unlikely to occur.
INGESTION: Ingestion of product solution may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract to include nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea. These blends are considered to have a low toxicity to humans.
INHALATION: Inhalation of product mist may cause irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract.
CHRONIC EFFECTS/CARCINOGENICITY: Not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, IARC or OSHA.
Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 EYES: Immediately flush with large quantities of water for 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart during irrigation
to insure thorough flushing of the entire area of the eye and lids. Obtain medical attention.
4.2 SKIN: Immediately flush with large quantities of water. Remove contaminated clothing under a safety
shower. Obtain medical attention if irritation occurs.
4.3 INGESTION: If victim is conscious, give 2 to 4 glasses of water and induce vomiting by touching finger to
back of throat. Obtain medical attention.
4.4 INHALATION: Remove victim from contaminated atmosphere. If breathing is labored, administer
oxygen. If breathing has ceased, clear airway and start mouth to mouth resuscitation. If heart has stopped
beating, external heart massage should be applied. Obtain medical attention.
Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
FLASH POINT: Not flammable METHOD USED: COC and TCC
5.2 FLAMMABLE LIMITS LFL: NA UFL: NA
5.3 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: As appropriate for combustibles involved in fire.
5.4 FIRE & EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS: Heating to dryness may cause the release of ammonia and carbon
dioxide. Ammonia, NH3, (16-25%) may form flammable mixtures with air.
Keep containers/storage vessels in fire area cooled with water spray. Heating may cause the release of
ammonia vapors.

Section 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES (Cont.)
5.5 FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus, pressure
demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Small releases: Confine and absorb small releases on sand earth or other inert absorbent. Use water
spray to dilute to weak fertilizer solution.
6.2 Large releases: Confine area to qualified personnel. Shut off release if safe to do so. Dike spill area to
prevent runoff into sewers, drains or surface waterways (potential aquatic toxicity). Recover as much of the
solution as possible. Treat remaining material as a small release (above).
Section 7: HANDLING and STORAGE
7.1 Handling: Avoid contact with eyes. Use only in a well ventilated area. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapors. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with the skin.
7.2 Storage: Store in well ventilated areas. Do not store combustibles in the area of storage vessels. Keep
away from any sources of heat or flame. Store tote and smaller containers out of direct sunlight at moderate
temperatures [less than 105潞F (41潞C)]. (See Section 10.4 for materials of construction)
Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None generally required. If conditions exist where mist may be
generated, a NIOSH/MSHA approved mist respirator should be worn.
8.2 SKIN PROTECTION: Neoprene rubber gloves and apron should be worn to prevent repeated or
prolonged contact with the liquid. Wash contaminated clothing prior to reuse.
8.3 EYE PROTECTION: Chemical goggles and a full face shield. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES.
8.4 EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
OSHA ACGIH
TWA STEL TLV STEL
None N/A NA NA NA
8.5 ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use adequate exhaust ventilation to prevent inhalation of product vapors.

Section 10: STABILITY and REACTIVITY
10.1 STABILITY: This is a stable material
10.2 HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
10.3 HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Heating this product will evolve ammonia. Heating to
dryness will cause the production of ammonia, and oxides of carbon. Ammonia (16-25%) may form
flammable mixtures with air.
10.4 INCOMPATIBILITY: Strong oxidizers such as nitrates, nitrites or chlorates can cause explosive
mixtures if heated to dryness. Avoid contact with Acids or acid materials. The products N-SURE庐, Trisert-
N+, N-SURE-PRO and FORMOLENE PLUS庐 are not compatible with copper, zinc or their alloys (i.e. bronze,
brass, galvanized metals, etc.). These materials of construction should not be used in piping, handling
systems or storage containers for this product. (SEE Section 7.2, Storage)
