SECTION V – REACTIVITY DATA Stability: Stable Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur Incompatibility (Materials to avoid): Strong alkali evolves ammonia gas. Corrosive to steel, copper or nickel metals. Hazardous Decomposition Conditions: At temperatures >212°F or in the presence of strong acids. Conditions to Avoid: Highly alkaline or acid conditions. SECTION VI – HEALTH HAZARD DATA Under Normal Use Conditions: May cause irritation to the eye, skin, nose and throat. May cause nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting if ingested. Breathing mist vapors may cause chest discomfort, dizziness, headaches and depression of central nervous system. Repeated skin contact may result in the development of a cumulative dermatitis. Effects of Overexposure: Eyes – Causes irritation, experienced as pain, with excess blinking and tear production and seen as marked excess redness and swelling of the eye with injury to the cornea. Skin - Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may cause more severe irritation and discomfort, seen as local redness and swelling. Ingestion – May cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Inhalation – Vapors or mist, in excess of permissible concentrations, or in unusually high concentrations generated from spraying, heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may cause irritation of the nose and throat, dizziness, headache, nausea, and drowsiness. First Aid: Eye Contact – Immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult physician Skin Contact – Immediately flush with copious amounts of soap and water for at least 5 minutes. If irritation persists, contact physician. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Ingestion – Administer 2 glasses of water and consult physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Inhalation – Remove to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms persist. Notes to Physician: There is not specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Due to the irritation and surfactant action of the material, if it is aspirated during swallowing or vomiting, there may be lung injury. Therefore, emesis should not be induced by mechanical or pharmacological means. If it is considered that evacuation of the stomach contents is necessary, this should be done by means least likely to result in aspiration (e.g. the use of gastric lavage in the presence of endotracheal intubation).

SECTION VII – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Small Spill: Recover as much material as practical. Soak up balance with sand, dirt, or other absorbent and haul to approved dump. Wash away residue with water. The washings should be discharged to a plant or municipal process water treatment systems. Avoid direct discharge to natural waterways. Material may initially gel or solidify on contact with water. Large Spill:

In case of a large spill by truck, use small spill procedure. SECTION VIII – HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Spilled material is slippery on walkways and highways. Foams profusely when hit with a stream of water. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not get in eyes. Avoid skin and clothing contact. Storage: Do not store with strong oxidizing agents. Store in plastic, plastic lined or stainless steel, tightly closed containers. Containers should be stored at temperatures between 40 and 100°F. SECTION IX – SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiratory Protection: If working in confined spaces use MSHA or NIOSH approved organic vapor respirator. Supplied air respiratory protection should be used for cleaning large spills or entry into tanks, vessels, or other confined spaces. Engineering Controls: General (mechanical) room ventilation Skin Protection: Protective gloves (PVC – coated), long sleeve shirt, trousers, and chemical resistant boots. Eye Protection: Safety glasses or goggles. Other Protection: Eye bath and safety shower located near work process area. SECTION X – REGULATORY INFORMATION TSCA: Listed in TSCA inventory.
