Material Safety Data Sheet
Material Name: COMPSOL鈩? ID: MRD-018
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety professional
following the requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1901.134) and ANSI's standard for
respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992), applicable U.S. regulations, or the Canadian CSA Standard Z94.4-93 and
applicable standards of Canadian Provinces. A written respiratory protection program, including provisions for
medical certification, training, fit-testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and
convenient, sanitary storage, must be implemented. For concentrations above the TLV and/or PEL but less than
10 times these limits, a NIOSH approved half-facepiece respirator equipped with vapor cartridges may be used.
For concentrations greater than 10 times the TLV and/or PEL, consult the NIOSH respirator decision logic found
in Publication No. 87-116 or ANSI Z88.2-1992. Warning! Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Eyewash fountains and emergency showers are required.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity
A: General Product Information
No information available for the product.
The Copper complex expressed as copper oxide in this product contains copper salts which, upon ingestion of
high oral doses, can cause gastrointestinal disturbances, anemia, and secondary liver and kidney damage.
Exposure to Ammonia liquid or high concentrations of vapor can cause immediate and permanent damage to the
eyes, skin, and respiratory and digestive tracts, and may be fatal. Respiratory effects may be delayed and
include asthma-like bronchitis, pulmonary edema, laryngeal edema and glottis spasms creating a feeling of
suffocation, and pneumonitis.
