2 Hazards Identification Hazards designation: None. Not classified as hazardous according to NOHSC Particular hazards (R-phrases): None Harmful effects/symptoms: None. Special hazard information: In event of fire the preparation has no property of self-supporting, increasing thermic Decomposition, but the formation of nitrous gases is possible. Medical conditions which may be aggravated by contact: Inhalation of dust may aggravate asthmatic condition, skin abrasions and sores
3 Composition/Information on Ingredients Please see product label available on the website for information on the composition.
4 First-Aid Measures General hints: Remove soiled clothes. after inhalation of dust: Take out to the fresh air, rest quiet and warm. Medical assistance is necessary in case of difficulty in breathing. after skin contact: Immediately wash affected skin regions thoroughly with soap and plenty of water.

Summon eye specialist if necessary. after ingestion: Immediately rinse the mouth with water, then drink a lot of water. Consult the doctor in case of persistent trouble, or poisons information centre – phone 13 11 26.
5 Fire-Fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing media: C02, dry chemical, water fog or foam. Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use chemical extinguishers or foams or attempt to smother the fire with steam or sand. Special risks: The material itself is harmless and hardly flammable. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours. If larger quantities of the product are on fire, the formation of nitrous gases, ammonia sulphuric acid gases and phosphoric acid gases is possible.

No smoking in storage areas and no dealing with fire or exposed flames. Advice to prevent fire and explosion: Keep away from hot surfaces and sources of ignition – refrain from smoking. The material itself is harmless and hardly flammable. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours. If larger quantities of the product are on fire, the formation of nitrous gases, ammonia sulphuric acid gases and phosphoric acid gases is possible.
Storage Stockrooms and containers required: It is recommended to design storage areas so that the product is well-protected from weather factors, humidity, solar radiation, heat up and impurities. Keep storage areas free from fireplaces and other ignition sources. Keep containers densely closed and store in a cool dry place. Ensure high standard of housekeeping in the storage area. Storage together with other materials: Do not store together with:
- strong alkaline materials
- strong acid materials
- combustible materials
- substances, which form perilous reactions with ammonium nitrate. Do not store with food, beverage and animal food.
