Section 3. Composition Information on Ingredients

This material is classified as not hazardous under OSHA regulations. See section 8,11 and 14 for details

Section 4. First Aid Measures

Eye contact : In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Skin contact : Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Inhalation : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Ingestion : Do not include vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures

Flammability of the product : Non-flammable. Products of combustion : Thermal decomposition products are dependent on temperature conditions. Fire- fighting media and instructions : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Not considered an oxidizer because of the prilled/ coated form of the salts

Special protective equipment for fire- fighters : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self- contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face- piece operated in positive pressure mode. Special remarks on fire hazards : Non- combustible Special remarks on explosion hazards : Non- explosion under normal conditions. Not considered on oxidizer because of the prilled/ coated form of the salts.

Section 6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions : Use suitable protective equipment. Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material, runoff and contact with waterways, drains and sewers. Methods for cleaning up : Use a tool to scoop up solid or absorbed material and place into appropriate labeled waste container. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal.

Section 7. Handling and Storage

Handling : In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Storage : Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering controls : Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. Personal Protection Eyes : Not require under normal conditions of uses. Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to dusts. Respiratory : A respirator is not needed under normal and intended conditions of product uses. If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, they must use appropriate, certified respirators. Hands : Not required under normal conditions of uses. Gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Skin/ body : No special protective clothing is required. Personal protection in case of a large spill : Safety glasses, goggles or face shield. Impervious gloves. Full suit. Boots. Wear NIOSH- approved self-contained breathing apparatus or equivalent and full protective gear.

Consult local authorized for acceptable exposure limits.

Section 9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Physical states : Solid. (Granular solid.) Color : Brown, yellow Odor : Odorless. Molecular Weight : Not applicable./ Mixture. Molecular formula : Not applicable./ Mixture. pH : Not applicable because low solubility in water. Melting/ Freezing point : Decomposition temperature: >200˚C Bulk density : 0.7 to 1.1 g/cm³ Vapor pressure : Not applicable. Vapor density : Not applicable. Volatility : Non-volatile. Odor threshold : Not available. Evaporation rate : Not available. VOC : Not an organic solvent. Viscosity : Not applicable. LogKow : Not applicable because of low solubility in water. Ionicity (in water) : See below. Solubility : Dissolve very slowly, polymer coating is insoluble.

Section 10. Stability and Reactivity

Stability and reactivity : stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see section 7). Conditions of instability : Elevated temperatures. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark of flame). Incompatibility with various substances : Reactive with reducing materials, metals, acids, alkalis and organic materials. Hazardous decomposition products : Under fire- oxides of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium when strongly heated it melts and decomposes releasing toxic fumes. In contact with alkaline materials it may release ammonia gas. Hazardous polymerization : Will not occur

Section 11. Toxicological Information
