Effects of Overexposure

Routes of Entry: Skin/Eye contact or Inhalation. Liquid contact may cause eye or skin irritation. Vapors may cause eye and respiratory irritation. No medical conditions are known to be aggravated by exposure.

Emergency And First Aid Procedures

Eye Contact: Flush with water for five (5) minutes. See a physician.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water.
Ingestion: Dilute by drinking water or milk. Induce vomiting. See physician.

SECTION VI. Reactivity Data

Stability: Stable
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
Hazardous Decomposition: CO, CO Oxides of nitrogen and small amounts of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons will occur from burning of dry polymers.
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Reacts with strong oxidizing agents as hydrogen peroxide, permanganates and perchlorates. Depending on amounts mixed, can result in intense heat, boiling, explosion of toxic gas generation.

SECTION VII. Spill or Leak Procedures

Wash the spill area with soap and water.

CAUTION: Spilled polymer is very slippery and will leave a film when dry if not thoroughly cleaned. Launder contaminated clothing immediately before polymer dries to prevent staining.

Waste disposal method: Dispose of waste in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations (a liquid with a pH between 2 and 12.5 is not defined a hazardous). This product is not considered a hazardous waste under current Federal RCRA requirements. Liquid should not be disposed in landfill. Polymer may be coagulated by adding Alum. Liquid may be discharged to an appropriate landfills or public treatment works. Solids may be incinerated or sent to an appropriate landfill. Whole products may be incinerated.

SECTION VIII. Special Protection Information

Ventilation: Local exhaust to draw mist-fumes and vapors away from workers.
Respiratory: Normal, None Required.
Eye Protection: Safety Goggles, if splashing may occur.
Special Protective Equipment: Gloves suitable for use in water and chemically resistant should be worn when contact is expected.
Clothing: Wear protective clothing that may be destroyed. If good clothing is accidentally splashed, wash immediately to avoid permanent staining.

SECTION IX. Special precautions

Ventilate Area. Wash throughly after handling product. Avoid eye and skin contact. Avoid freezing. Store above 40 degreesF, (5 degrees C).

SECTION X. Transportation

Products are not defined hazardous by US Department of Transportation under Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulation, 1984.
