MSDS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
S200 CONTAINS
S200 is an unsaturated fatty acid crystal matrix, designed specifically to bond with
hydrocarbons in a proactive manner. (It chases hydrocarbons).
S200 is not flammable and will in fact act as a fire retardant. It is inert, non toxic and contains
no artificial microbes or bacteria. It should be kept at room temperature. There are no special
handling requirements required apart from common sense.
SECTION 5 OF THE MSDS DOCUMENTATION – FIRE – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Listed on the MSDS is only the raw material of concern to the European environmental and
H&S group. A residential house fire has more toxic elements than any fire with the S-200.
S200 contains nitrogen in it will completely decompose in a fire. Oxides will formas a result
of the nitrogen burning. It is a similar story for the phosphate and carbon. In fact when S200 is used to degrade hydrocarbons an oxide of carbon is formed, namely (CO²).
PLASTIC CONTAINERS
The plastic drum containers will create oxides of carbon when it burns. S200 itself is non
hazardous. The only toxic element in a fire would be the melting plastic containers.
The reaction Pyrolysis is listed last in section 5.3 of the MSDS documentation. Temperatures
in a fire would have to reach a magnitude of 430 degrees C or 800 degrees F for this to
occur. It is a possible resultant reaction resulting from the incineration of the plastic
containers and its organic contents under a) high pressure and b) high temperatures.
Pyrolysis is a form of incineration that chemically decomposes organic materials by heat in
the absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis typically occurs under pressure and at operating
temperatures above 430 ¡C (800 ¡F). In practice, it is not possible to achieve a completely
oxygen-free atmosphere. Because some oxygen is present in any pyrolysis system, a small
amount of oxidation occurs. Organic materials are transformed into gases, small quantities
of liquid, and a solid residue containing carbon and ash.
SECTION 6 OF THE MSDS DOCUMENTATION – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Best practice methodology is applied in soaking up any spills that might occur with S200 as it
is in itself an inert and non toxic product. It contains no toxins, dangerous chemicals or
added bacteria.
There are two ways to clean up a spill of S200.
1. You would apply normal absolvent material to the spill to soak it up. The soaked
material can be placed into a standard trash bin.
2. If you want to get rid of the spilled S200 in under 5 seconds, simply apply any
standard Hydrocarbon fuel to the liquid, kerosene or standard octane works best.
S200 and hydrocarbons neutralize each other. The residue left over is CO² and
water.
