5. Fire Fighting Measures
- Type of Material:
Flammable liquid.
- Extinguishing Media:
Use water mist, foam, Carbon dioxide or dry
chemicals.
- Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Toxic fumes (CO, CO2, etc.) under
fire conditions.
6. Accidental Release Measures
- Environmental Precautions:
All work practices must be aimed at
preventing environmental contamination. Do
not apply directly to water, and avoid
application where runoff may occur.
Because of its nutritional nature, this
product may cause eutrophication if
discharged into water bodies.
- Personal Precautions:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the
form of gloves, safety goggles and overalls
are recommended.
- Destruction and Clean Up:
In case of a large spill, protect people by
clearing and isolating the affected area. It is
necessary to contain spill into the smallest
area possible; recovering liquid in an
appropriate container (labelling it
accordingly if necessary). If the product is
clean, use as intended following the original
label directions; if contaminated, salvage for
proper disposal as waste. Absorb residual
product with absorbent substance (i.e. dirt,
sand, sawdust) and then scrape up and
dispose of appropriately.
7. Handling and Storage
- Handling:
Avoid breathing vapours or mists; use in a
well – ventilated location and wash
thoroughly after handling.
- Storage:
Store in original labelled container only.
Keep lid tightly sealed and store under cool,
dry conditions away from direct sunlight,
sources of intense heat or where freezing is
possible. Store away from food, feed,
clothing materials and living quarters.
Inspect all containers before storage, to
ensure they are properly labled and not
damaged. Keep away from children and
domestic animals.
- Incompatible Materials:
May react with string oxidizers.
8. Exposure Control/Personal Protective Equipment

- TLV:
Isopropyl alcohol – 400ppm.
- Technical Measures/precautions:
General ventilation is usually adequate.
Local exhaust should be used if needed for
safe, comfortable working conditions.
- Personal Protection:
Respiratory Protection:
Prolonged exposure may cause temporary
discomfort of respiratory tract and
headache. Respiratory protection (face
mask) is recommended.
Hand Protection:
As this product could cause irritation to the
skin, it is recommended that gloves be worn
as a precaution during handling.

This product may cause substantial but
temporary eye irritation if contact/exposure
occurs. Therefore the use of safety
goggles/glasses is highly recommended.
Skin Protection:
This product may cause skin
irritation/allergic reactions in some
individuals. Overalls are recommended to
avoid any such reactions.

12. Ecological Information
The available data on this plant nutrient material does not indicate any undue hazard
to the environment, if used correctly and according to the instructions on this MSDS
and product label. Any waste due to spillage or leakage should be dealt with
appropriately (see Accidental Release Measures). Due to the nutrient value, the
product may contribute to eutrophication in water bodies.

Wastes disposal must be done according to hazardous waste regulations at an
approved waste disposal site. NOTE: Empty containers may have residues (liquid
and/or fumes) thus, handle them with care. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform
similar operations on or near containers, nor expose them to intense heat, flames,
sparks, static electricity or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause
bodily injury or even death. Dispose of appropriately and according to regulations or
make available to a container reconditioning facility for recycling.
