There are no additional ingredients present which within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the
concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting in
this section.
See Section 8 for exposure limits.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and ensure comfortable breathing. Get medical attention if
you feel unwell.
Skin Contact: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice.
Eye Contact: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present
and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician.
Ingestion: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Rinse mouth.
Note to physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor methemoglobinemia and hypercalcemia.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing media: Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon
heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Water fog should be used to cool fire-exposed containers,
structures and to protect personnel.
Unsuitable Extinguishing media: Not applicable.
Special exposure hazards: Toxic nitrogen oxides may be generated at elevated temperature.
Combustion products: Not combustible.
Protection of firefighters: Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing
apparatus. Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Do not inhale combustion gases.
NFPA Hazard Classification: Health: 3 Flammability: 0 Instability: 1 Special: -This information is intended solely for the use of individuals trained in the NFPA system.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions: Use suitable protective equipment (see section 8) to prevent contamination of skin, eyes
and personal clothing. Provide sufficient ventilation.
Methods for cleanup: Keep out of sewers and waterways. Collect spilled material with inert absorbent into
containers and dispose in accordance with applicable regulations and product characteristics at time of disposal
(see also Section 13).
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wear eye protection, gloves and wash hands thoroughly after
handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Storage: Store in a well-ventilated place. Store in the original container away from combustible materials and
reducing agents.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Limits: Exposure limits are not established for this product.
Engineering controls: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended.
Personal protection: General: General hygiene considerations are appropriate when used as recommended.
The following precautions are recognized as common good industrial hygiene practice. Emergency conditions
may require additional precautions. Follow precautions listed and recommendations for personal protective
equipment.
Eye: Wear eye and face protection. Have eye-wash stations available where eye contact can occur.
Skin: Avoid skin contact. Wear rubber gloves impervious to conditions of use. Additional protection may be
necessary to prevent skin contact including use of apron, face shield, boots or full body protection. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. A safety shower should be located in the work area.

Respiratory: Do not breathe vapor. NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn if exposure limits are
exceeded. NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn if exposure limits are exceeded. A NIOSH
approved respirator is generally acceptable for concentrations up to 10 times the PEL. Use a NIOSH approved
air-supplied respirator for higher concentrations, unknown concentrations and for oxygen deficient atmospheres.
Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Engineering controls are the preferred means for controlling
chemical exposures. In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Respiratory protection may be
needed for non-routine or emergency situations. Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
Thermal: Not normally required.
