Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SKIN:OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO THIS
    MATL HAS NOT BEEN RPTD TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE HUMAN  HEALTH
    EFFECTS WHERE RECOMMENDED OCCUPATIONAL  CONTROL PROCEDURES ARE
    FOLLOWED.  HOWEVER, RPTS IN THE SCIE NTIFIC LITERATURE INDICATE THE
    POTENTIAL FOR FORMALDEHYDE BASED RESINS TO PRODUCE ALLERGIC SKIN
    REACTIONS IN EXPOSED INDIVIDUALS. STUDIES BY MONSANTO ON SELECTED
    RESIMENE MELAMINE - FORMALDEHYDE BASED  RESIN SOLUTIONS HAVE
    DEMONSTRATED THE POTENTIAL FOR THESE PRODUCTS TO PRODUCE SKIN
    IRRITATION. REPEATED/PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE AL LERGIC SKIN
    REACITON IN SOME PEOPLE.
    NASAL TUMORS.
Effects of Overexposure:FORMALDEHYDE, A MINOR COMPONENT (UP TO 0.5%) IS
    HIGHLY IRRIT TO EYE & RESP TRACT IN VAP FORM. INHALATION OF
    FORMALDEHYDE AT CONC AS LOW AS 1.0 TO 2.0 PPM OR LESS MAY IRRIT
    NOSE & THROAT OF SOME PERSON S.  SYMPTOMS OF EXPOS TO HIGHER CONC
    COUGH, CHEST TIGHTNESS & DIFFICULTY BREATHING. WORKERS CAN BECOME
    TOLERANT TO LOW LEVELS OF FORM ALDEHYDE IRRIT W/N RELATIVE SHORT
    PERIOD OF EXPOS. RPTD SKIN CONTACT W/FORMALDEHYDE IS IRRIT TO SKIN
    & CAN PRODUCE NUMBNESS &  ALLERGIC RESPONSE WHICH MAY BE
    CHARACTERIZED BY DRYING & REDNESS, SWELLIN G, ITCHING, BURNING &
    BLISTERING.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INGESTION: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH
    IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY WASH WITH SOAP & PLENTY OF 
    WATER. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. GETMEDICAL ATTENTION (IF
    SYMPTOMS OCCUR). WASH CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
    BREATHING  DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. REMOVE
    MATERIAL FROM EYES, SKIN & CLOTHING.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point Method:TCC
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE OR
    ANY CLASS B EXTINGUISHING AGENT.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE
    THOROUGHLY DECONTAMINATED AFTER USE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WHEN DUST OR POWDER OF THIS MATERIAL IS
    MIXED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES WITH AIR A DUST EXPLOSION CAN OCCUR.
    PRODUCTS OF DECOMPOSITION INCLUDE NITROGEN OXIDES, FORMALDEHYDE,
    CARBON MONOXIDE AND METHANO L.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:USE VACUUM EQUIP DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR
    HANDLING COMBUSTIBLE DUSTS. VACUUM/ SWEEP UP & PLACE IN DRY,
    COVERED CNTNR. FLUSH AREA W/WATER SPRAY. AVOID CREATING DUST CLOUD
    AS THIS MATL , IF DISPERSED I N AIR, COULD PRESENT A POTENTIAL DUST
    EXPLOS HAZ. ADD ABSORBENT TO SPILL & VACUUM/SWEEP UP MATL INTO DRY
    COVERED CNTNRS FOR DISP. FLUSH AREA W/WATER SPRAY. KEEP OUT OF
    SEWERS, WATERSHEDS & WATERWAYS.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP
    CONTAINER CLOSED. AVOID CREATING DUST CLOUD IN HANDLING, TRANSFER
    AND CLEAN UP.  KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS AND FLAMES. EMPTIED
    CONTAINER RETAINS VAPOR AND PRODUCT  RESIDUE. OBSERVE ALL LABELED
    SAFEGUARDS UNTIL CONTAINER DESTROYED.

Toxicological Information:MONSANTO HAS NOT CONDUCTED TOXICITY STUDIES
    SEARCH OF THE AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE. HOWEVER, TOXICITY
    INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE   ON A SIMILAR MELAMINE-FORMALDEHYDE
    RESIN.  RESULTS OF SINGLE EXPOSURE (ACUTE) STUDIES CONDUCTED ON A
    REPRESENTATIVE MELAMINE-FORMALDEHYDE RESIN INDICATE THAT THIS
    MATERIAL IS SLIGHTLY TOXIC ORALLY (RA TS) & PRACTICALLY NONTOXIC
    AFTER SKIN APPLICATION (RABBITS). IT IS SLIGHTLY IRRITATING TO
    RABBIT EYES & SKIN. A SIMILAR MELAMINE - FORMALDEHYDE RESIN NOT
    CONTAINING CALCIUM SILICATE HAS BEEN TESTED  ( SEE ECOLOGICAL INFO)
