ROUTES OF ENTRY
Eye Contact, Skin Contact, Ingestion and Inhalation

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE
Eyes: Direct contact with this material may cause eye irritation including lachrymation (tearing).
Inhalation: Inhalation of vapor or aerosol may cause irritation to the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs).
Skin: Contact may cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: No hazard in normal industrial use.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Prolonged or repeated contact with skin may cause irritation and dermatitis (inflammation).

CARCINOGENICITY
This material does not contain 0.1% or more of any chemical listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), or regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a carcinogen.

EYE CONTACT
Flush eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes.  Get immediate medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash affected area with soap and water.  Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

INHALATION
Move patient to fresh air. If breathing has stopped or is labored give assisted respiration (e.g. mouth-to-mouth).  Supplemental oxygen may be indicated. Seek medical advice.

INGESTION
Give the victim one or two glasses of water or milk to drink.  Get immediate medical attention . Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

FIRE HAZARD CLASSIFICATION (OSHA/NFPA)

Non-Combustible

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Product does not burn.  The product will only burn after the water it contains is driven off.  For dry polymer use carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical or water fog to extinguish fire. Aqueous solution is not flammable.

FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full fire-fighting protective clothing.  Thoroughly decontaminate all protective equipment after use.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
This material will not burn unless it is evaporated to dryness.  Closed containers may rupture when exposed to extreme heat.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
When dried polymer burns, water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke are produced.

CONTAINMENT TECHNIQUES (Removal of ignition sources, diking etc)
Stop the leak, if possible. Ventilate the space involved.

CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
Wear suitable protective equipment.  If recovery is not feasible, admix with dry soil, sand or non-reactive absorbent and place in an appropriate chemical waste container. Prevent spilled material from entering sanitary sewers, storm sewers, drainage systems and from entering bodies of water or ditches that lead to waterways.  Transfer to containers by suction, preparatory for later disposal. Place in metal containers for recovery or disposal. Flush area with water spray. Wash contaminated property (e.g., automobiles) quickly before the material dries. For large spills, recover spilled material with a vacuum truck.

OTHER EMERGENCY ADVICE
Spilled polymer emulsion is very slippery. Use care to avoid falls. A film will form on drying. Remove saturated clothing and wash contacted skin area with soap and water. Product imparts a milky white color to contaminated waters. Foaming may result. Sewage treatment plants may not be able to remove the white color imparted to the water.

STORAGE
Keep from freezing.  Store in a dry area.  Keep containers closed when not in use to
minimize contact with atmospheric air and prevent inoculation with microorganisms.

HANDLING
Use only in well-ventilated areas.  Avoid contact with eyes.  Avoid breathing vapors.  Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin.  Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating or drinking.

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
There are no Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) or American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLV) or Short Term Exposure Limits (STEL) established for the component(s) of this product.

EYE PROTECTION
Chemical safety glasses.

HAND PROTECTION
Rubber Gloves. The breakthrough time of the selected glove(s) must be greater than the intended use period.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Not required under normal use.

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
No specific recommendation.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels of irritating vapors.
