3. Composition/Information on Ingredients

Product Name & Other Names: Polystyrene 4-Sulfonic Acid or PSSA Solution.
CAS No.: 28210-41-5
EINECS EC Number: 411-200-6

4. First Aid Measures

Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance. Induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or is having convulsions. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use a mild soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reusing. Thoroughly clean shoes before reusing them. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Products of Combustion: Carbon oxides, Sulfur oxides and fumes.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray. Alcohol foam. Polymer foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Avoid a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray jet.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away from upwind of spill/leak. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Keep out of low areas.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water.
Methods for cleaning up: Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. Should not be released into the environment. Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g., sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Vacuum or sweep up and move to an approved disposal container.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling: Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charge. Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat, or other sources of ignition. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling it. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc). Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not empty into drains. Avoid release to the environment.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Do not leave the material container open. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like oxidizing agents and acids. Storage: Sealed dry. Room temperature. Tightly closed. Do not freeze.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits: Not established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full-face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
