Section II - HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS/IDENTITY/INFORMATION



This section covers the materials from which this product is manufactured.



The term "hazardous" in "Hazardous Materials" should be interpreted as a term required

and defined in OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR Part 1910.1200).

Section IV � FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA



BD Activated Iron is self-heating in air. When exposed to air, it may attain heat quickly and

provide a combustion source for exposed combustible materials. It is highly reactive with

organic compounds when heated or exposed to oxidizing agents. Some hydrogen may be

evolved during shipping or storage. Open flames and smoking are prohibited.



Extinguishing Media - Water, C02, foam to deactivate and quench.



Section V - REACTIVITY DATA



Spontaneously Combustible in Presence of Oxygen.

Stability -           Unstable

Conditions to Avoid - Air-sensitive material. Some hydrogen may be evolved during

storage.

Materials to Avoid -  Reacts with strong acids to liberate hydrogen.

                      Reacts vigorously with strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition Byproducts -          Hydrogen may evolve.

Hazardous Polymerization -                    Will not occur.



Section VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA



Route of Entry:



Inhalation            YES             Skin           YES

Ingestion             YES             Health hazards (Acute and Chronic)      N/A

Carcinogenicity -     N/A             IAPC           N/A

OSHA Regulated?       N/A

Signs and symptoms of exposure -      Skin - May cause skin irritation.

Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure -        N/A

Emergency and first aid procedures - Wash skin with soap and water.



Section VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE



Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled -    Should be flushed with water.



Waste Disposal Method -     Expose to air. Material will bum or otherwise oxidize and

become deactivated. Residue consists of iron and iron oxides which are not hazardous

and may be discarded. Disposal must be in accordance with federal, state and local

regulations.



Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storing -      Keep away from heat, sparks, and

                                                       open flames.



                                                       Keep away from flammables and/or

                                                       combustibles.



Shipping/Storage -     Use Level II packaging for shipping, transportation and storage.

                       Approved ammunition boxes or steel pails are recommended.
