Emergency Overview: Potential combustible dust if flaked or powdered. Dust generated from flaked product will be
combustible at sufficient concentration.
Potential Health Effects:
Eye: Accidental exposure to the eyes may produce a mild but transient irritation
Skin: Prolonged exposures may cause slight transient irritation. Heated product may cause thermal burns if
contacted.
Inhalation: No harmful effects expected with normal use. Dusting may result in slight irritation.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation.
Physical/Chemical Hazards: Potential combustible dust if flaked or powered. Dust generated from flaked product will be
combustible at sufficient concentration.
Environmental Hazards: None identified.
SECTION 4 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.

SECTION 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: Small Fires: CO2 or dry chemical
Large Fires: Foam
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Not available
Flash Point and Method: 342 deg. F (172 deg. C) PMCC
Explosive limits in air: Upper: Not available Lower: Not available
Auto-ignition temperature: Not available
Sensitivity to mechanical impact/static discharge: Not available
Special Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Other Fire Fight Consideration: Potential combustible dust if flaked or powdered. Dust generated from flaked product will
be combustible at sufficient concentration.
Exposure Hazards: Does not decompose up to 400 deg. F. Complete combustion forms carbon dioxide and
water vapor. Partial combustion forms also carbon monoxide, soot, aldehydes and
ketones.
SECTION 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: An appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator is recommended if dust is generated.
Environmental Precautions: Minimize contamination of drains, surface and ground waters.
Procedures for Spill/Leak Clean-up: Ventilate area and eliminate all ignition sources. Contain spill. Neutralization not required.
Soak up with absorbent material such as paper, rags, or sawdust; or sweep up. Dispose
of as any grease or oily material.
Refer of Section 8 for additional personal protection information
Refer to Section 13 for disposal consideration.
SECTION 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety procedures. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Since empty containers contain product residue and can be dangerous, follow all hazard warnings and
precautions even after container is emptied. Keep away from sources of ignition.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from possible contact with incompatible substances. Store
in a cool dry place. Store in accordance with NFPA 30. Suitable for storing in most common vessels including stainless steel, zinc-type
spray on linings, flaked polyester lining.
Specific use(s): Follow bulk handling and storage procedures as noted above.
Refer to Section 6 for clean-up of spillage
Refer to Section 13 for disposal considerations
SECTION 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
General Precautions: Good industrial hygiene should be followed. Avoid breathing (heated) vapors. Avoid eye and skin contact.
Exposure Limit Values: Not established.
Exposure Controls:
Engineering Controls:
Ventilation: Local exhaust 鈥? preferred
Mechanical- may be necessary if working at elevated temperatures or in enclosed areas.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye: None required, although eye protection is recommended as part of good industrial hygiene
Skin: Protective gloves should be worn when handling heated molten product.
Inhalation: None required for normal usage, although an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator is
recommended if dust is generated.
Other Controls: Boots, eye wash fountain, safety shower, apron, protective clothing.

SECTION 11 鈥? TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Oral Toxicity: Practically nontoxic. CO-1897 has an LD50 of greater than 20 gms per kilogram of body weight for rats (i.e.
at maximum possible dosage, none of the animals died).
Eye Irritation: Non-hazardous. CO-1897 produced only mild transient eye irritation with rabbits. The degree and duration
of irritation elicited by the undiluted, powdered fatty alcohol was equivalent to or less than that produced by
a 10 % aqueous solution of real soap.
Skin Effects 鈥? Human: Non-hazardous. CO-1897 (30% in isopropanol) produced little or no primary skin irritation with human
subjects in a 24 hour closed patch test. The degree of irritation elicited was less than that produced by a 4%
aqueous solution of real soap.
