Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Spilled material may
cause a slipping hazard. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to
Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or
groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible.
Sweep up. Recover spilled material if possible. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers.
See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.
Precautions for safe handling: Static electricity can accumulate on dry beads. Leave room for
expansion as dry resin swells upon wetting and/or changing ionic form. Equipment construction
material should be compatible with feed, regenerant, ionic form and effluent of the ion exchange
process. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid generating and breathing dust. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Keep container closed. Good housekeeping and controlling of dusts are necessary for safe
handling of product.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in a dry place. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Preferred storage temperature is in the lower half of the range given below.
No special storage conditions required.
Storage stability
Storage temperature: 0 - 50 °C
Control parameters
If exposure limits exist, they are listed below. If no exposure limits are displayed, then no values are
applicable.
Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations.

Chemical stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. See Storage, Section 7.
Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Oxidizing agents such as nitric acid
attack organic exchange resins under certain conditions. Before using strong oxidizing agents, consult
sources knowledgeable in handling such materials. The severity of the reaction with oxidizing
materials can vary from slight degradation to an explosive reaction.
Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply
and the presence of other materials. Decomposition products can include and are not limited to:
Aromatic compounds. Hydrocarbons. Organic sulfonates. Sulfur oxides.
Acute toxicity
Acute oral toxicity
Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.
As product:
The LC50 has not been determined.,
Skin corrosion/irritation
Essentially nonirritating to skin.
Sensitization
For skin sensitization:
No relevant data found.

Carcinogenicity
No relevant data found.
Teratogenicity
No relevant data found.
Reproductive toxicity
No relevant data found.
Mutagenicity
No relevant data found.
Aspiration Hazard
Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.
Ecotoxicity
Acute toxicity to fish
Not expected to be acutely toxic, but material in pellet or bead form may mechanically cause
adverse effects if ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life.
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: No bioconcentration is expected because of the relatively high molecular
weight (MW greater than 1000).
Mobility in Soil
In the terrestrial environment, material is expected to remain in the soil.
In the aquatic environment, material will sink and remain in the sediment.
