4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh area. Keep at rest until recovered. If symptoms persist seek medical attention.

Ingestion Do NOT induce vomiting. Wash out mouth and lips thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention.

Skin If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. If symptoms develop seek medical attention.

Eye If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eyes continuously with running water. Continue flushing for several minutes until all contaminants are washed off completely. Seek medical attention.

First Aid Facilities Normal washroom facilities.

Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically.

Other Information NFPA Rating.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing to prevent exposure. If possible contain the spill.

Version No. 1.5 2011/04/21 Page 3 of 6

Place absorbent material onto spillage. Collect the material and place into suitable labelled containers for subsequent recycling or disposal. Dispose of waste according to the applicable local and national regulations. If contamination of sewers or waterways occurs inform the local water authorities and EPA in accordance with local regulations.

Personal Precautions Spills produce extremely slippery surfaces on non porous surfaces only.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Wear appropriate protective equipment to prevent inhalation and eye exposure. Keep containers closed when not in use. Practice good personal hygiene, that is, always wash hands after handling, and before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet facilities.

Storage Non combustible liquid. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated area away from heat and out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use and securely sealed and protected against physical damage. Inspect regularly for deficiencies such as damage or leaks.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Environ. Protection This product is an A Class fire suppression and retarding liquid. The use of the product involves significant dilution with water (1:150 to 1:1500).

This product represents a low risk to the environment if it is used appropriately in a fire fighting scenario.

Mobility Not available

Persistence / Degradability Non-degraded anionic polyacrylamide has been shown to be recalcitrant to microbial degradation. This is

Version No. 1.5 2011/04/21 Page 5 of 6 probably related to the extremely high molecular weight which renders microbial attack very difficult. However, once the polymer has been degraded through photolysis (i.e., the action of UV light), and the macromolecule broken down into oligomers, it becomes bioavailable and is biomineralized.

Bioaccumulation Anionic polyacrylamide has no potential to bioaccumulate, being completely soluble in water (only limited by viscosity) and insoluble in octanol.
