Components CAS No. Percent Ammonium sulfate 7783-20-2 34.00 Defoamer, surfactant, drift reduction solution Proprietary 6.25 Inerts Proprietary 59.75 Eye Contact: Section 3: Composition Information Section 4: First-Aid measures Immediately flush eyes with water; remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 6 minutes then continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention without delay, preferably from an ophthalmologist. Skin Contact: Inhalation: Ingestion: Immediately flush skin with water while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash clothing before reuse. Move person to fresh air; If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by a qualified personnel. Call a physician or transport to medical facility. If swallowed, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing media: Specific hazards arising from the chemical: Protective equipment and precautions for firefighter s: Water spray, foam solution, CO 2, dry chemical None known Assure self-contained breathing apparatus is worn. Fight fire from upwind. Prevent runoff if possible. Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Refer to Section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Keep upwind of spill. Spilled material may cause a slipping hazard. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Methods for containment: Methods for cleaning up: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in section 13. Prevent entry into waterway, sewers, basements or confined areas. Pick up spills with absorbent material and place in suitable properly labeled containers. Section 7: Handling and Storage Handling: Storage: Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, or smoking and again when leaving work. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures. Store in a dry place. Store in original container. Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or potable water supplies.

Section 8: Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection Occupational exposure limits: Engineering controls: Personal protective equipment: Eye/Face Protection: Skin Protection: Hand protection: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. Use chemical goggles Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task. Safety shower should be located in immediate work area. Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing before reuse or dispose of properly. Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Neoprene, Nitrile/butadiene rubber ( nitrile or NBR ), or Polyvinyl chloride ( PVC or vinyl ). Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use an approved respirator. Selection of air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air will depend on the specific operation and the potential airborne concentration of the material.
