SECTION 4 鈥? FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT: Not Applicable
METHOD USED: Not Applicable
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: 500掳C/932掳F. Product is not combustible until moisture is
removed, then resin starts to burn in flame at 280掳C/536掳F.
LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: Not Applicable
UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: Not Applicable
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
EXTINGUISHING AGENTS: Use the following extinguishing media when fighting fires involving
this material: 1) carbon dioxide 2) dry chemical 3) water spray
SECTION 5 鈥? 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:
Oxides of Carbon and Nitrogen, water
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Product will not undergo polymerization.
SECTION 6 鈥? ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Sweep up for recovery or proper disposal.
Caution: May be slippery.
DISPOSAL METHOD: 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.

SECTION 7 鈥? 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.
CANCER INFORMATION: No relevant information found.
SECTION 8 鈥? 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.
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.
SECTION 9 鈥? 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. Avoid repeated freezing; beads may fracture.
OW-0102-HW Page 3 of 5 Revised: 04/10/06
SECTION 9 鈥? STORAGE AND HANDLING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
HANDLING PROCEDURES: The maximum recommended operating temperature for this
material is 121掳C/250掳F. NOTE: Due to the small bead size of this resin, the material
should be treated as a severe eye irritant. Worker exposure to 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. Do not pack column with dry ion exchange resins. Dry beads
expand when wetted; this expansion can cause glass columns to fracture.
