Section 2 - Composition / Information on Ingredients

Component Information/Information on Non-Hazardous Components
The components of this product are not regulated as hazardous under 29 CFR and 49 CFR. However, the manufacturer recognizes the potential for respiratory tract irritation as a result of inhalation of this material as a respirable dust. See Sections 8, 11, 14 and 15 for further regulatory information.

Section 3 - Hazard Idnentification

Emergency Overview
Aqua-Solution is a white, granular, odorless polymer that yields a gel-like material with the addition of water. It is insoluble in water and causes extremely slippery conditions when wet. Although not regulated as a hazardous material, the respirable dust is a potential respiratory tract irritant. It isrecommended an eight-hour exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m3.
Potential Health Effects: Eyes
Dust may cause burning, drying, itching and other discomfort, resulting in reddening of the eyes.
Potential Health Effects: Skin
Exposure to the dust, such as in manufacturing, may aggravate existing skin conditions due to dying effect.
Potential Health Effects: Ingestion
Although not a likely route of entry, tests have shown that Aqua-Solution are non-toxic if infested. However, as in any instance of non-food consumption, seek medical attention in the event of any adverse symptoms.
Potential Health Effects: Inhalation
Exposure to respirable dust may cause respiratory tract and lung irritation and may aggravate existing respiratory conditions.
HMIS Ratings: Health: 1                      Fire:0             Reactivity:0
Hazard Scale: 0=Minimal          1=Slight          2=Moderate    3=Serious       4=Severe        

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

First Aid: Eyes - Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
First Aid: Skin - Remove dust from skin using soap and water.
First Aid: Ingestion - Non-toxic ingestion. However, if adverse symptoms appear seek medical attention.
First Aid: Inhalation - If inhaled, move to source of fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Use caution after contact of product with water as extremely slippery conditions will result. Residuals may be flushed with water into the drain for normal wastewater treatment. This is a non-hazardous waste suitable for disposal in an approved solid waste landfill.
Evacuation Procedures - None Required.
Special Procedures - Avoid repirable dust inhalation during clean-up. Wear appropriate respirator.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling Procedures - Handle as an eye and respiratory tract irritant.
Storage Procedures - Store in a dry, closed container.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information

Section 11 - Toxicological Information

Acute and Chronic Toxicity
General Product Information - Acute inhalation of respirable dust may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract and lungs.
Component Carcinogenicity - No information is available
Chronic Toxicity - Chronic inhalation exposure to rats for a lifetime (2 years) using Aqua-Solution that had been micronized to a respirable particle size produced non-specific inflammation and chronic lung injury at 0.2 mg/m3 and 0.8 mg/m3. There were no adverse effects detected at 0.05 mg/m3.
Mutagenicity - Aqua-Solution had no effect in test.

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity
A: General Product Information - Composted Aqua-Solution absorbents are nontoxic to aquatic or terrestrial organisms at predicted exposure levels from current application rates.
Environmental Fate - Aqua-Solution absorbents are relatively inert in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. They are immobile in landfills and soil systems (.90% retention), with the mobile fraction showing biodegradability. They are also compatible with incineration of municipal solid waste. Incidental down-the-drain disposal of small quantities of Aqua-Solution absorbents will not affect the performance of wastewater treatment systems.
