4. First-aid measures
Inhalation
IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen by qualified medical personnel only. If breathing stopped, apply artificial
respiration. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Skin contact
IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. If skin irritation or rash occurs, seek
medical advice/attention. Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse.
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.
IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to
a person who is unconscious or is having convulsions Get medical attention.
Eye contact
Ingestion
SDS US
2 / 12
Causes skin irritation. Contact may cause redness, swelling and a painful sensation.
Direct eye contact may produce severe irritation with possible eye damage. Symptoms may
include severe pain, tearing, redness, swelling and blurred vision. May cause irreversible
eye damage.
May cause severe skin sensitization with allergic contact dermatitis symptoms such as
swelling, rash and eczema.
May damage the blood system if swallowed. Contains: Potassium nitrate; Sodium nitrite.
Ingestion of large amounts of nitrites or nitrates may affect oxygen transport in the blood and
blood system, causing methemoglobinemia. Methemoglobinema, characterized by
blue-black coloration of the lips, tongue, and the mucous membranes, with the skin
becoming slate gray in color.
May cause respiratory irritation. Symptoms may include upper respiratory irritation, coughing
and breathing difficulties.
May cause severe irritation and corrosive damage in the mouth, throat and stomach.
Symptoms may include abdominal pain, vomiting, burns, perforations and bleeding.
Repeated or prolonged overexposure may cause anemia and kidney effects.
General Information
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to
protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Use media suitable to the surrounding fire such as water fog or fine spray, alcohol foams,
carbon dioxide and dry chemical.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Use chemical extinguishing agents with caution. Some chemical extinguishing agents may
react with this material.
The pressure in sealed containers can increase under the influence of heat.
Special protective equipment and Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet
with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Firefighters should
precautions for fire-fighters
wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full face
piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Move containers from fire area if safe to do so. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with
Fire-fighting
water spray. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Dike for
equipment/instructions
water control.
Specific methods
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
General fire hazards
Not classified as flammable. However, may burn if exposed to extreme heat and flame.
Hazardous combustion products
Nitrogen oxides (NOx); Sodium oxides; Oxygen; Carbon oxides; phosphorus oxides; Sulfur
oxides.
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Restrict access to area until completion of
clean-up. Wear appropriate protective equipment. Refer to protective measures listed in
sections 7 and 8.
Ventilate the area. Remove all sources of ignition. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe
to do so. For spilled liquids: absorb spill with inert, non-combustible material such as sand,
then place into suitable containers. Pick up and transfer to properly labelled containers. For
large spills on surfaces other than pavement (e.g. soil or sand), spills may be handled by
digging up and removing the affected surface and placing it in approved containers.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazards as the spilled product.
Contact the proper local authorities.
Prevent product from entering drains, sewers, waterways and soil. If necessary, dike well
ahead of the spill to prevent runoff into drains, sewers, or any natural waterway or drinking
supply.
Environmental precautions
SDS US
3 / 12
Persons with recurrent skin eczema or sensitization problems should be excluded from
working with this product. Once a person is sensitized, no further exposure to the material
that caused the sensitization should be permitted.
Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear suitable protective equipment during
handling. Wear protective gloves/clothing and eye/face protection. Do not breathe mist or
vapors. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Avoid contact with skin, eyes
and clothing. Keep away from extreme heat and direct flame. Keep away from
incompatibles. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Empty containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous.
Contaminated work clothing must not be allowed out of the workplace.
Store in cool/well-ventilated place. Store locked up. Storage area should be clearly
identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel.
Inspect periodically for damage or leaks. Do not store near any incompatible materials (see
Section 10).
Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Apply technical measures to comply with the
occupational exposure limits. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the
use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. In case of insufficient
ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection
Thermal hazards
General hygiene
considerations
Wear eye/face protection. Chemical splash goggles are recommended. A full face shield
may also be necessary.
Wear protective gloves/clothing. The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed
with the producers of the protective gloves. Wear a chemically resistant apron and long
sleeves when dispensing, to prevent skin contact.
Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Other equipment may be required depending on workplace standards.
If airbourne concentrations are above the permissible exposure limit or are not known, use
NIOSH-approved respirators. Respirators should be selected based on the form and
concentration of contaminants in air, and in accordance with OSHA (29CFR 1910.134).
Advice should be sought from respiratory protection specialists.
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Do not breathe mist or vapors. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash thoroughly
after handling. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Handle in
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Contaminated work clothing
must not be allowed out of the workplace.

This product was tested in accordance with Test O.2 - Test for Oxidizing liquids, in
accordance with the UN Manual on Tests and Criteria. At a 1:1 ratio of sample/cellulose (2.5
g of the liquid and 2.5 g of dried cellulose) tested, the maximum pressure rise was < 2070
kPa (300 psi) or the pressure rise time was > the mean pressure rise time for the PGIII
reference standard. The material is therefore, not considered to be an oxidizing liquid.
