SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

EYES: Do not rub eyes. Flush eyes with copious amounts of water to remove any small particles. Consult a physician if irritation persists.

SKIN: Wash skin with clean water to remove product. Consult a physician if irritation persists.

INGESTION: Not established. Consult a physician.

INHALATION: Remove from area; drink water to clear throat; blow nose to evacuate particles.

NOTES TO PHYSICIANS OR FIRST AID PROVIDERS: This product should be considered like sand when treating any emergencies.

SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

FLASH POINT : Not applicable

NFPA HAZARD CLASSIFICATION

HEALTH: Not established FLAMMABILITY: Not established REACTIVITY: Not established

Notes: Hazardous liquids retain their hazardous characteristics and designation when absorbed

by Zorbent.

HMIS HAZARD CLASSIFICATION

HEALTH: Not established

FLAMMABILITY: Not established ( Fresh Zorbent is not flammable, however, the absorbed spill if flammable retains flammable characteristic when absorbed into Zorbent.)

REACTIVITY: Not established.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: For absorbed spill see spill liquid SDS sheet.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Respiratory and Eye protection is required for fire fighting personal. For absorbed spill see spilled liquid SDS sheet.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS (See Notes this section) Keep Zorbent that is saturated with oil and flammable liquids away from flames. For absorbed liquid spill see section;

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS on spilled liquid SDS sheet.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: None

Notes: Flammable liquids retain their flammable characteristics when absorbed by Zorbent. Liquids absorbed into or on all loose absorbents, including Zorbent, lower the flash point of the absorbed liquid (mixture). For example: Liquids that resist ignition when spilled may be ignitable when absorbed into or on a particle absorbent such as clay, diatomaceous earth, Zorbent or similar loose absorbent. An example of such a liquid is waste auto oil.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Sweep or vacuumed clean. Dispose of unused Zorbent as a non-hazardous waste.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep dry. Repair all broken bags.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Liquids that resist ignition when spilled sometimes will ignite when picked up by Zorbent or any loose absorbent. For example, spilled motor oil will not ignite with a common kitchen match but will ignite when picked up by Zorbent or any other loose absorbent.(See Notes in Section 5 for details.)

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Ensure that eyewash stations are close to work stations.

VENTILATION : Keep well ventilated.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Dust mask where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits.

EYE PROTECTION: As a minimum, safety glasses with side shields.

SKIN PROTECTION: Gloves (optional).

OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: None

WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Follow good housekeeping practices.

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: None
