Conditions To Avoid:
Excessive heat and contamination of any kind
Material
To Avoid: acids, oxides of phosphorous, zinc, lithium,
fluorine, calcium hydroxide, aluminum and 2, 4,
6-trinitrotoluene. contact with acids will release carbon
dioxide gas. when mixed with lime dust and water corrosive
caustic soda may be produced.

SECTION X -
WARNING STATEMENTS
Caution! Keep out of
reach of children. May cause eye or skin irritation. Store
in a 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 Decomposition 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 rubber boots, gloves and
apron and a self contained breathing apparatus. Sweep up
bulk material without releasing dust and reuse wherever
possible; where contaminated or unusable, dispose of by
landfilling.
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 And Storing:
Maintain good housekeeping, avoid creating aerosols. For
maintenance of product quality, store in dry cool (under
110°F) warehouse conditions.
