Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: > 212° F

Flammability of Not a fire or explosion hazard when stored under normal conditions.
Product:
Fire Fighting Media: Foam, alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical, water fog
Protective Clothing: This product is an aqueous mixture which will not burn. If evaporated to dryness, the solid residue
may pose a moderate fire hazard. No special procedures required besides standard fire fighting
procedures.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures

Clean-Up Collect spilled material with an inert absorbent such as sand or vermiculite. Place in properly labeled
Procedures: and closed container. Dispose of collected material according to federal, state, and local regulations.
Spills and Leaks: Contain the spill or leak to prevent a discharges to surface streams or storm sewers. This material is
a concentrated dye/pigment. Small quantities in contaminated water solutions will color large
volumes.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid breathing fumes. General mechanical ventilation can be expected to effectively remove and
prevent build up of any vapor or mist generated from handling this product in a closed environment.
Do not freeze. Protect eyes to prevent contact. Avoid prolong or repeated exposure to skin.
Storage: Keep container dry. Keep containers sealed until ready for use.
Section 8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Engineering controls: General mechanical ventilation can be expected to effectively remove and prevent build up of any
vapor or mist generated from handling this product in a closed environment
Personal Protection:
Eyes: Wear safety glasses with side shields. Wear additional eye protection such as chemical goggles or
face shield if splashing or spraying hazard exists. Have an eye wash station available.
Body: To prevent skin contact use coveralls, apron, boots, or lab coat.
Hands: Avoid skin contact by using chemically resistant gloves.
Respiratory: No respiratory protection required under normal conditions of use. Use local exhaust to control
excessive vapors/mists. If excessive vapors or mists are persist use appropriate NIOSH/MSHA
approved organic vapor/mist respirator.
Other: Open wounds or skin surface disruptions should be covered with a chemical resistant patch to
minimize absorption risks. Clean clothing should be worn daily to avoid possible long-term build up
of the product leading to chronic overexposure.

Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Section 10. Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: This material is chemically stable under normal and storage and handling conditions.
Hazardous When involved in a fire, burning may evolve noxious fumes which may include carbon monoxide,
Decomposition: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, acetic acid, or other toxic compounds depending on the chemical
composition and combustion conditions. However, all of the water must be driven off first for this to
occur.
Hazardous Is not known to occur.
Polymerization:
Incompatibility Long term storage in direct contact with reactive metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper, nickel,
(Materials to Avoid): magnesium, etc. Other materials to avoid include strong oxidizing agents.
