5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray or fog, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
Protective Equipment:
Firefighters, and others exposed, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full firefighting protective clothing. See
MSDS Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection).
Special Hazards:
Dust may be explosive if mixed with air in critical proportions and in the presence of a source of ignition.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions:
Refer to Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection) for appropriate personal protective equipment.
Methods For Cleaning Up:
Slippery when wet. Sweep up into containers for disposal. Flush spill area with water. If slipperiness remains apply more
dry-sweeping compound. Prevent liquid entering sewers.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Maintain good housekeeping to control dust accumulations.
STORAGE
To avoid product degradation and equipment corrosion, do not use iron, copper or aluminum containers or equipment.
Material is hygroscopic and should not be exposed to moisture in order to maintain product integrity.
Storage Temperature: Room temperature
Reason: Integrity.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
CONTROL PARAMETERS - Limits
Engineering Measures:
Engineering controls are not usually necessary if good hygiene practices are followed.
Respiratory Protection:
Where exposures are below the established exposure limit, no respiratory protection is required.
Where exposures exceed the established exposure limit, use respiratory protection recommended for the material and
level of exposure.
Eye Protection:
Wear eye/face protection.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This material is not classified as dangerous for the environment.
The effects on aquatic organisms are due to an external (non-systemic) mode of action, and are significantly reduced (by
a factor of 7-20) within 30 minutes due to binding of the product to dissolved organic carbon and inorganic sorbents such
as clays and silts.
All ecological information provided was conducted on a structurally similar product.
Acute toxicity tests conducted using environmentally representative water gave the following results:
ALGAE TEST RESULTS
Test: Growth Inhibition (OECD 201)
FISH TEST RESULTS
Test: Acute toxicity, freshwater (OECD 203)
Species: Zebra Fish (Brachydanio rerio)
INVERTEBRATE TEST RESULTS
Test: Acute Immobilization (OECD 202)

INVENTORY INFORMATION
European Union (EU):
All components of this product are included on the European Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances (EINECS)
or are not required to be listed on EINECS.
United States (USA):
All components of this product are included on the TSCA Chemical Inventory or are not required to be listed on the

Print Date: 08/30/2008
This material is not
readily biodegradable
(OECD 301B), but
degradable by
hydrolysis. The large
polymer size is
incompatible with
transport across
biological membranes
and diffusion; the
bioconcentration factor
is therefore considered
to be zero.
