HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION This product is a dark-brown, viscous, aqueous solution, which is not-flammable and not reactive under a typical circumstances of a release. The primary health hazard associated with emergency response to this material is the potential for mild irritation of contaminated skin or eyes. 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES 4.1 Ingestion If this product is shallowed call local poison control center or physician for most current information. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. Get medical attention immediately. 4.2 Inhalation If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention. 4.3 Skin contact Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoe before reuse. 4.4 Contact with eyes Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Then get immediate medical attention.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES 5.1 Fire and explosion hazards Negligible fire hazard 5.2 Flash point Not applicable 5.3 Extinguishing media Non flammable. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire: water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical. 5.4 Extinguishing media to avoid None 5.5 Fire fighting procedures Move container from fire area if it can be done without Risk. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion byproducts. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. 5.6 Unusual fire and explosion hazard At extremely high temperature this product will decompose to produce irritating vapors and toxic gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, iron compounds).
