Hazards Identification Physical state Appearance Emergency overview OSHA regulatory status Potential health effects Routes of exposure Eyes Skin Inhalation Ingestion Chronic effects Signs and symptoms Potential environmental effects Liquid. White liquid. CAUTION May cause eye and skin irritation. This product is considered hazardous under 29 CFR (Hazard Communication). Skin. Eyes. Ingestion. Inhalation. May cause eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. Under normal conditions of intended use, this material is not expected to be an inhalation hazard. When heated, the vapors/fumes given off may cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion may cause dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms of overexposure may be headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. Eye contact may cause irritation with redness, tearing, pain, and/or blurred vision. The product is not classified as environmentally hazardous. However, this does not exclude the possibility that large or frequent spills can have a harmful or damaging effect on the environment. 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients Components CAS # Percent Ammonium thiosulfate Water Ammonium hydroxide Ammonium sulfate / 7

2 Composition comments All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. This Safety Data Sheet is not a guarantee of product specification or NPK value(s). NPK content is on specified sales orders, customer invoices, or product specification sheets obtained from supplier. 4. First Aid Measures First aid procedures Eye contact Skin contact Inhalation Ingestion tes to physician General advice Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Move person to fresh air. If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting without advice from poison control center. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs. Get medical attention. Treat symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. 5. Fire Fighting Measures Flammable properties Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Protection of firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Hazardous combustion products The product is not flammable. Water fog. Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Foam. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Heating may cause the release of ammonia vapors. NH3 (16-25%) may form flammable mixtures with air. If heated beyond dryness, some hydrogen sulfide gas may be given off. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn when fighting chemical fires. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Ammonia. Sulfur oxides. Ammonium sulfate. Hydrogen sulfide. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for containment Methods for cleaning up Other information Avoid inhalation of vapors/spray and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable protective clothing. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the MSDS. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Absorb spillage with suitable absorbent material. After removal flush contaminated area thoroughly with water. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. Absorb small leaks or spills with sponge, mop up large spills with plenty of soap and water. Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. 7. Handling and Storage Handling Storage Avoid inhalation of vapors/spray and contact with skin and eyes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use Personal Protective Equipment recommended in section 8 of the MSDS. Keep the workplace clean. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from incompatible materials. 2 / 7

Occupational Exposure Limit s Ammonia ( ) STEL 27 mg/m3 35 ppm 18 mg/m3 Exposure guidelines Follow standard monitoring procedures. Engineering controls Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Observe Occupational Exposure Limits and minimize the risk of inhalation of vapors and mists. Personal protective equipment Eye / face protection Wear approved safety glasses or goggles. Skin protection Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. The use of neoprene gloves is recommended. Be aware that the liquid may penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable. Respiratory protection If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8, General hygiene considerations 9.
