SECTION IV - FIRST AID MEASURES
If Inhaled: Remove to fresh air. Give artificial
respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical
attention. Mild burning sensation may occur to mucous
membranes and upper respiratory tract.
In Case Of Eye
Contact: Immediately flush eyes with lots of running water,
lifting the upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get
immediate medical attention.
In Case Of Skin Contact:
Immediately wash skin with lots of soap and water. Remove
contaminated clothes and shoes; Wash before reuse. Get
medical attention if irritation persists after washing. May
cause burns if not flushed with water.
If Swallowed:
Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, give lots of water or
milk. Get immediate medical attention. Do not give anything
by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. May cause
mild burning in mouth and esophagus.
Notes To
Physician: Natural watering of the eyes will dissolve sodium
bisulfate, forming a weak sulfuric acid solution which may
cause burns. Flush affected area thoroughly with water. Do
not use chemical antidotes or neutralizing solutions.
SECTION V - FIRE AND EXPLOSION
HAZARD DATA
Flash Point: N/A
Ignition Temperature: N/A
Flammable Limits: N/A
Special Fire Fighting Procedure: As toxic fumes of ammonia
and sulfur oxides may be released violently at high
temperatures, full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self- contained breathing apparatus should be worn. Use
water to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Unusual
Fire Explosion Hazards: May explode if mixed with oxidizers,
such as
potassium, nitrate, or potassium chlorate.
Extinguishing Media: Water or dry chemical .
SECTION VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Primary Routes Of Exposure: Inhalation, Skin or Eye
Contact.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE:
INHALATION: BREATHING DUST MAY IRRITATE THE NOSE AND THROAT
AND CAUSE COUGHING AND CHEST DISCOMFORT. EXCESSIVE CONTACT
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE NASAL SEPTUM. MAY BURN NOSE, THROAT
AND LUNGS. NO EXPOSURE LIMIT ESTABLISHED
EYE CONTACT:
DUST WILL IRRITATE THE EYES AND PROLONGED CONTACT WILL
DAMAGE THE EYES. MILD TO SEVERE IRRITANT. MAY CAUSE BURNS IF
NOT FLUSHED WITH WATER.
SKIN CONTACT: PROLONGED OR
REPEATED CONTACT WITH THE DUST MAY IRRITATE THE SKIN WITH
BLISTERING AND REDNESS, SOLUTIONS MAY CAUSE SEVERE
IRRITATION OR BURNS.
SWALLOWED: SWALLOWING LARGE
QUANTITIES MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, ABDOMINAL PAIN,
DIARRHEA AND COLLAPSE. MAY IRRITATE MOUTH, LUNGS & STOMACH.

Polymerization: Will not occur.
Conditions To
Avoid: Store in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture contact.
Hazardous Decomposition: None, unless heated over 570of,
at which sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide are formed.
Imcompatibility: Avoid contact with strong alkaline
materilas such as caustic. Reacts with water to form a week
acid solution. Do not mix with liquid chlorine bleach,
ammonia cleansers or similar products.
Hazardous
Decomposition Products: may liberate carbon monoxide or
carbon dioxide and oxides of sodium.

Moderate Irritation.
Inhalation: No data found.
Carcinogenicity: This material is not considered to be a
carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program, The
International Agency For Research & Cancer, or the
Occupational Safety & Health Administration.
SECTION IX - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data found.
SECTION X -
WARNING STATEMENTS
CAUTION! Keep Out Of
Reach Of Children. May cause skin or eye irritation. Store
In Cool Dry Place. Avoid contact with skin and clothing and
excessive inhalation . Wash hands, clothing and equipment
after use.
SECTION XI REACTIVITY
DATA
Stability: Stable. Polymerization:
Will not occur.
Conditions To Avoid: Excessive heat
and contamination of any kind.
Materials To Avoid:
Oxidizing agents attack the organic components of these
products. As with other organic carbonaceous compounds,
these reactions result in heat which is contained in a
confined space can cause fires. Hypochlorites, chlorinated
isocyanurates, and perborates are examples of oxidizing
agents.
Hazardous Decomposion Products: No uniquely
hazardous decomposition products are expected. If the
organic portion of product is burned, as with any nitrogen
containing organic material, oxides or nitrogen, carbon
dioxide, and water can be produced. Partial combustion may
produce, in addition to the above, soot and various oxides
of carbon.
SECTION XII - SPILL,
LEAK, AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
Waste
Disposal: Dispose of in a sanitary chemical landfill which
complies with all local, state, and federal regulations.
Spill Or Leakage Procedures: Wear suitable clothing and
protective equipment which includes a self contained
breathing apparatus, rubber boots, gloves and apron.. Sweep
up.
SECTION XIII - SAFE HANDLING
AND USE INFORMATION
Permissible
Concentrations: Not established.
Respiratory
Protection: Wear suitable NIOSH-approved dust masks or
respiratory protector where local ventilation exhaust is not
available or dusty situations are likely to result.
Ventilation: Provide ventilation to keep exposure below
Nuisance Dust Limits. Local exhaust ventilation preferred.
Storage and Handling: Maintain good housekeeping, avoid
creating aerosol. Keep out of direct sunlight and in cool
dry place as deterioration of product and loss of activity
may occur under above conditions.
Eye Protection:
ANSI approved safety glasses with side protection. It is
generally recognized that contact lenses should not be worn
when working with chemicals because contact lenses may
contribute to the severity of an eye injury.
Skin
Protection: Long sleeved shirt, trousers, safety shoes, and
gloves.
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands after
handling, as well as any other affected skin areas. Avoid
contact with food or food preparatory surfaces. If this
occurs wash the area thoroughly with suitable detergent and
water.
Other Protective Equipment: Eye wash facility.
SECTION XIV- SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions To Be Taken In Handling & Storing: Maintain
good housekeeping, avoid creating aerosols. For maintenance
of product quality, store in dry cool (under 110°F)
warehouse conditions.
