Sara Hazard Category:  This product has been reviewed according to
the EPA "Hazard Categories" promulgated under sections 311 and 312 of the
Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA Title III) and is
considered, under application definitions, to meet the following categories:
An immediate health hazard.

The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act (T.D.G.A.) classification for this is:
Not regulated.

Stability (Conditions to avoid) Decomposes >350F.

Incompatibility: (Specific Materials to Avoid) Propellant 49 will:
react with sulfuric acid to form hydrogen chloride which is corrosive, irritating
and reactive; give an exothermic reaction water-reactive materials such as sodium;
results in a runaway polymerization reaction with methyl vinyl ether
(Bretherick, 1979); and, in solution form react with zinc (galvanizing to yield hydrogen

gas which is explosive (Ibid).

(Bretherick, L., Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 2nd Edition)

Hazardous decomposition products:  N/A

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

5. Environmental and Disposal Information:

Action to take for spills/leaks:  Losses incidental to correct 
applications of this product in its intended uses are not expected to be harmful 
to the environment. Wear appropriate safety apparel during cleanup -- see 
Section 8 below. Avoid entry of large amount of product in sewers, natural waters, 
and drinking water sources. Due to possible harmful effects, avoid contact with 
animals and flush away with plenty of water. Walking surface may remain wet 
longer due to moisture being held by spilled product -- avoid by thoroughly 
washing surfaces.

Disposal Method: Comply with federal, state and local laws, regulations and 
procedures. Contact manufacturer and authorities for detailed information. 
Product as sold is not a RCRA listed or characteristic hazardous waste.

6. Health Hazard Data:

Eye: May cause moderate to severe eye irritation with corneal injury, which may
be slow to heal. When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense
effects as well as thermal burns.

Skin contact:  Short single exposure not likely to cause significant skin irritation.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin irritations, even a burn. May cause
more severe response if skin is damp and/or abraded, or if material is confined to 
skin. When dissolving, the heat produced may cause more intense effects as well 
as thermal burns. DOT classification: Noncorrosive.

Skin Absorption: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the 
material being absorbed through the skin in harmful amounts.

Ingestion: Single oral dose toxicity is low. Ingestion may cause 
gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.

Inhalation: Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties. Dust may cause 
irritation to upper respiratory tract.

Systemic & Other Effects: The components of this product are not listed by 
IARC, NTP or PSHA as a carcinogen for hazard communication purposes.

7. First Aid:

Eyes: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. 
Consult medical personnel. 

Skin: Wash off in flowing water or shower.

Ingestion: If swallowed, induce vomiting immediately by giving two glasses of water 
and sticking finger down throat. Call a physician. 
(Never give anything by mouth or attempt to induce vomiting in an unconscious person.)

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician.

Note to Physician: If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after 
decontamination. No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based 
on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient.

8. Handling Precautions:

Exposure Guideline(s): There is no OSHA, PEL or ACGIH TLV for Propellant-49.

Ventilation: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne 
levels.

Respiratory Protection: When respiratory protection is required for certain 
operations, use an approved air-purifying respirator. In dusty atmospheres, use 
an approved dust respirator.

Skin Protection: For brief contact, no precautions other than clean body-covering 
clothing should be needed. Use protective clothing impervious to this material. 
Selection of specific items such as gloves, boots, apron or full-body suit will 
depend on operation. If skin comes in contact with contaminated clothing, remove 
clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing 
before reuse.

Eye Protection: Safety glasses should be sufficient for most operations; however, 
for dusty operations or when handling solutions of this material, wear chemical 
goggles. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area.

9. Additional Information:

Special Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Avoid eye and 
prolonged skin contact. When exposed to this atmosphere, Propellant-49
will pick up water and form a solution.
