HAZARD STATEMENT:
Keep locked up. Keep container dry. Do not ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapor/spray. Never add water to this product. Keep away from
incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, reducing agents, combustible materials, organic materials, metals, acids, alkalis, moisture. May corrode
metallic surfaces. Store in a metallic or coated fiberboard drum using a strong polyethylene inner package.
Will react with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes. Reacts with carbonates to generate carbon dioxide gas. Reacts with cyanides
and sulfides to form poisonous hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide respectively.
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT:
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. Very hazardous in case of skin contact, of eye contact, of ingestion, of inhalation. Liquid or spray mist may
produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe
irritation of respiratory tract. Severe over-exposure can result in death.
The substance may be toxic to kidneys, lungs, heart, cardiovascular system, upper respiratory tract, eyes, teeth. Repeated or prolonged exposure
to the substance may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.

In the event of any personal contact, seek medical attention immediately. Flush with water. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If ingested, do not
induce vomiting.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Other information may be included on the label as needed. Example: See Safety
Data Sheet for further details regarding the safe use of this product.

Hazard Communication Standard, 2012 Revision
December 1, 2013
Train employees to understand the new formats
of data sheets and labels.
June 1, 2015
Chemical manufacturers, importers,
distributors, and employers must have new
format Safety Data Sheets and Labels in place.
(Distributors may not ship without new labels
after December 1, 2015.)
June 1, 2016
Update workplace labeling and hazard
communication program as necessary, and train
employees on newly-identified hazards.
With the 12/1/13 training deadline past,
current employees are familiar with OSHA’s
new Hazard Communication Standard
(29 CFR 1910.1200), but new workers will
need to be trained and there are more
deadlines down the road for employers.
By 6/1/2015 the complete program must
be implemented throughout facilities
(distributors have until 12/1/2015 to apply
new labels).
Now and in the future, employees must
be aware of and able to protect themselves
from the hazards they face in the workplace.
NMC has a full line-up of products to keep
workers informed and safe.
