SECTION 4 - REACTIVITY HAZARD DATA
STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
REACTIVITY:
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID:
Avoid contact with heat, sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition. Vapors may be
explosive. Avoid overheating of containers; containers may violently rupture in heat of fire. Avoid contamination of
water sources.
Trace amounts of ethylene oxide, a carcinogen, may be present in this product. There is a potential for accumulation
of ethylene oxide in the head space of containers or in enclosed areas where the product is stored, handled or used.
Users should comply with 29 CFR 1910.1047.
INCOMPATIBILITIES:
MICRO-CLEAN DETERGENT:
ALUMINUM: May be etched.
ZINC: May be etched.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION:
Thermal decomposition may release toxic and/or hazardous gases.
POLYMERIZATION:
Hazardous polymerization has not been reported to occur under normal temperatures and
pressures.
SECTION 5 - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EMERGENCY FIRST AID
INHALATION:
First Aid - Remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately. Perform artificial respiration if necessary. Keep
person warm and at rest. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention immediately.
SKIN CONTACT:
First Aid - Remove contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash with soap or mild detergent and large
amounts of water until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). Get medical attention
immediately.
EYE CONTACT:
First Aid - Wash eyes immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline, occasionally lifting upper and
lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains (at least 15-20 minutes). Get medical attention immediately.
INGESTION:
First Aid - If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. Treat symptomatically and
supportively. Get medical attention if needed.
