SECTION III - PHYSICAL HAZARDS & DATA

Boiling Point boiling point of water

Vapor Pressure not applicable

Specific Gravity not applicable

Appearance and Odor white/gray, slight petroleum odor

Solubility in Water completely soluble

SECTION IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Flash Point nonflammable

Flammable Limit Level non applicable

Extinguishing Media water

Special Fire Fighting Procedures firepersons must wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Heat can cause emission of highly toxic fumes. Heat can cause the nitrate present to act as an oxidizing agent which can support combustion or cause detonation of other products. Persons should be evacuated from down wind areas.

Unusual Fire & Explosion nitrates may decompose violently when mixed with ammonium salts.

SECTION V - HEALTH & FIRST AID DATA

Threshold Limit Values not applicable - non-toxic material

Effects Over Exposure not under normal usage and conditions

Skin If irritation occurs, wash with water and mild detergent. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Eyes If eye irritation occurs, flush with flowing water for at least 30 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion If person is conscious, give large amounts of water and induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Oral ingestion of large amounts may cause nitrate poisoning resulting in dizziness, abdominal cramps, vomiting, blooding diarrhea, weakness, convulsions and collapse.

SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA

Stablity yes

Incompatible Substance corrosive to metals

Conditions to avoid if unstable fire conditions and nitrates.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur

Conditions to avoid uncontrolled polymerization not applicable

Hazardous decomposition of products highly toxic fumes of POX and oxides of nitrogen.

SECTION VII - SPILL & DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

Steps to be taken to handle spill or releases Pick up or sweep up material and store in plastic bags away from combustibles.

Waste disposal procedures Dispose of in an approved landfill in accordance with state, federal and local regulations.

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION
