CHEMICAL specialties , INC. UltraFume MSDS PAGE 2 OF 8 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This product is a white to slightly-gray, crystalline solid with a weak, sulfur-like odor. The primary health hazard presented by this substance is the potential for severe irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes, as well as mild to moderate irritation of contaminated skin. This product must be substantially preheated for ignition to occur. This product can react with moisture or water to release a small amount of heat and to generate fumigant gases ( , isocyanate compounds). Emergency responders must wear personal protective equipment appropriate for the situation to which they are responding.

5 SYMPTOMS OF OVEREXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The main routes of overexposure for this material would be via inhalation of vapors generated by routine fumigant-use of this product, as well as contact with skin or eyes. The symptoms of such overexposures are described in the following paragraphs. INHALATION: Inhalation of dusts or particulates of this material can irritate the nose and throat. Symptoms of such overexposure may include coughing, sneezing, and nasal congestion. It is reasonably anticipated that fumigant gases (containing isocyanates, sulfur and nitrogen compounds) will be generated under routine use of this product. These gases can be irritating to the nose, throat, respiratory system, and eyes. Symptoms of inhalation overexposure are generally alleviated upon breathing fresh air. CONTACT WITH SKIN or EYES: Moderate to severe eye irritation may result from contact with this product.

6 Symptoms of such exposure can include pain, redness, and watering. Prolonged eye contact may result in tissue damage and blindness. Skin exposure to this product may be mildly to moderately irritating. Dazomet, the main component of this product, is a potential skin sensitizer. Prolonged or repeated skin exposures may lead to dermatitis, rashes, and other allergic skin reactions. SKIN ABSORPTION: Skin absorption is a not potential route of overexposure for any component of this product INGESTION: Ingestion is not anticipated to be a significant route of overexposure for this material. If this product is swallowed, symptoms of such overexposure may include gastric distress, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. INJECTION: Injection of this product (via punctures with contaminated, sharp objects or pre-existing breaks in the skin) can produce redness and local swelling at the injection site.

7 HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms. Symptoms of overexposure to this material may include the following: ACUTE: The short-term health effects are principally irritation of the tissue at the point of CHEMICAL exposure (mainly the eyes, skin, and respiratory system). Additionally, inhalation of the vapors generated by the use of this substance irritates the nose, throat, and respiratory system. Severe ingestion exposures can be harmful. CHRONIC: Prolonged or repeated skin exposures to this product can lead to dermatitis (red, irritated, cracked, and/or painful skin), rashes, and other allergic skin reactions. Refer to Section 11 (Toxicological Information) for further information on the components of this product. TARGET ORGANS: Skin, eyes, respiratory system. part II What should I do if a hazardous situation occurs? 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES SKIN EXPOSURE: If the product contaminates the skin, begin decontamination with running water.

8 Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. Contaminated personnel must seek medical attention. EYE EXPOSURE: If this product enters the eyes, open victim's eyes while under gently running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Contaminated personnel should seek medical attention.

FIRST-AID MEASURES (Continued) INHALATION: If dusts or vapors generated from this product are inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If necessary, use artificial respiration to support vital functions.

9 Remove or cover gross contamination to avoid exposure to rescuers. INGESTION: If this product is swallowed, CALL PHYSICIAN OR POISON CONTROL CENTER FOR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION. If professional advice is not available, induce vomiting. Victim should drink milk or large quantities of water. Never induce vomiting or give diluents (milk or water) to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or who cannot swallow. Chemically contaminated personnel must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken for medical attention if necessary. Take copy of label and MSDS to physician or health-care professional with victim. 5.

Water Spray: YES Carbon Dioxide: NO Foam: YES Dry CHEMICAL : YES Halon: YES Other: Any "ABC" Class. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This material is a primary irritant and presents a potential contact hazard to firefighters. This product must be substantially pre-heated for ignition to occur. This substance can form flammable dust/air mixtures when dust levels reach 30 grams per cubic meter of air. When involved in a fire, this material may decompose and produce irritating vapors and toxic gases ( , carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, chlorine compounds, and nitrogen oxides). This product can react with moisture or water, to release a small amount of heat and to generate fumigant gases.
