EXTINGUISHING AGENTS: Use the following extinguishing media when fighting
fires involving this material: 1) carbon dioxide 2) dry chemical 3) water spray
5. REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Stable under normal handling and storage conditions.
(see incompatibility statement).
INCOMPATIBILITY: (SPECIFIC MATERIALS TO AVOID) WARNING:
Oxidizing agents such as nitric acid attack organic ion exchange resin under
certain conditions and could result in a slightly degraded resin up to an explosive
reaction. Before using strong oxidizing agents, consult sources knowledgeable in
handling such materials.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition may yield
the following: Hydrochloric acid, naphthalene, benzaldehydes, phenol, carbon
dioxide, water, organic amines, chlorine, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, methyl
chloride.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Product will not undergo polymerization.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Sweep up. Caution: May be slippery.
DISPOSAL METHOD: DO NOT DUMP INTO ANY SEWERS, ON THE GROUND OR
INTO ANY BODY OF WATER. Bury resin in licensed landfill, or burn in approved
incinerator according to local, state, and federal regulations. For resin
contaminated with hazardous material, dispose of mixture as hazardous material
according to local, state, and federal regulations. Waste characterizations and
compliance with applicable laws are the responsibility solely of the waste
generator. GRAVER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OR MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OF PARTIES
HANDLING OR USING THIS MATERIAL.
7. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EYE: May cause severe eye irritation. May cause moderate corneal injury. Effects are
likely to heal. Flush with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Consult a physician if
irritation persists.
SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritation. If irritation
occurs, wash affected area with water. Consult a physician if irritation persists.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties.
INGESTION: Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined. Single dose oral toxicity
is believed to be low. No hazards anticipated from ingestion incidental to industrial
exposure. If swallowed, call a physician.
INHALATION: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties.
SYSTEM & OTHER EFFECTS: No specific data available, however, repeated
exposures are not anticipated to cause any significant adverse effects.
8. PERSONAL PROTECTION MEASURES
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: None established.
VENTILATION: Good general ventilation should be sufficient.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respiratory protection program meeting
OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever
workplace conditions warrant a respirator鈥檚 use. None required under normal
operating conditions.

8. PERSONAL PROTECTION MEASURES (continued)
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent.
SKIN & HAND PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact. When using this substance, use
skin protection (clean body-covering clothing). Cotton, latex, rubber or canvas
gloves for the hands.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should
be equipped with an eyewash facility.
9. STORAGE AND HANDLING INFORMATION
STORAGE CONDITIONS: The minimum recommended storage temperature for this
material is 3掳C/38掳F. The maximum recommended storage temperature for this
material is 60掳C/140掳F.
HANDLING PROCEDURES: The maximum recommended operating temperature for
this material is 110掳C/230掳F. NOTE: This product is a powdered ion exchange
resin and may produce slight eye irritation. However, the ground form of this resin
should be treated as a severe eye irritant. Worker exposure to ground resins can
be controlled with local exhaust ventilation at the point of dust generation, or the
use of suitable personal protective equipment (dust/mist air-purifying respirator and
safety goggles). Properly designed equipment is vital if these ion exchange resins
are to be used in conjunction with strong oxidizing agents such as nitric acid to
prevent a rapid build up of pressure and possible explosion. Consult a source
knowledgeable in the handling of these materials before proceeding.
