1 Issue Date: 10/2003 Page 1 of 6 Fast Trak MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET FAST TRAK PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION SECTION 1 Chemical Product: Fast Trak Common Name: dicarbamide dihydrogen sulfate-urea solution Chemical Description: molecular addition compound-organic salt solution Manufactured By: Power-Line Products P. O. Box 475 Rupert, ID Emergency Phone Numbers: Emergency Telephone: DAYS: (208) Hour Emergency HAZMAT Response (800) EPA National Response Center: (800) INGREDIENTS SECTION 2 CHEMICAL CAS NO. % Proprietary Blend containing Dicarbamide dihydrogen sulfate * Leonardite derivatives * OSHA PEL 8hr TWA and ACGIH TLV-TWA have not been established for this product. EMERGENCY/HAZARDS OVERVIEW SECTION 3 Clear to slightly hazy liquid. May react with incompatible metals such as aluminum, tin, lead, and zinc to generate highly flammable and explosive hydrogen gas. Burning under high temperatures may generate carbon dioxide under normal conditions. If exposed to prolonged heat in a fire, oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur may be formed. ENVIRONMENT: 1 FLAMMABILITY: 0 HEALTH: 2 REACTIVITY: 2

If contact occurs, immediately flush eyes with running water for minutes. Use warm water if available. Seek medical attention immediately if irritation, pain, swelling, excessive tearing, or light sensitivity persists. Skin: Immediately flush exposed area with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes followed by washing area thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing immediately while protecting your own hands and body. Seek medical attention if skin surface is damaged or if irritation or redness develops. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or Poison Control Center Immediately. If conscious and alert, drink no more than 1 cup of water or milk to rinse the mouth and throat and dilute stomach contents. No more than 8 ounces (1 cup) in adults and 4 ounces (1/2 cup) in children are recommended to minimize the risk of vomiting. Inhalation: Overexposure by inhalation may cause irritation and burning of nose, throat and respiratory tract. If irritation develops, move patient to fresh air and monitor. If cough or difficulty in breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation. If needed, administer supplemental oxygen if trained to do so. If irritation, coughing, or difficulty breathing persists, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS SECTION 5 Flash Point: Non-Flammable Test Method: LEL Flammable Limits: UEL Flammable Limits: Autoignition Temperature: Flammability Classification: Known Hazardous Products of combustion: Burning may generate carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and possibly other toxic fumes. Properties that initiate/contribute to intensity of fire: Potential for dust explosion: Reactions that release flammable gases or vapors: Flammable hydrogen gas may be produced on prolonged contact with metals such as aluminum, tin, lead, and zinc Potential for release of flammable vapors: Flammable hydrogen gas may be produced on prolonged contact with metals such as aluminum, tin, lead, and zinc Unusual fire & explosion hazards: Container rupture may occur under fire conditions or when heated, if not adequately ventilated. Extinguishing media:

3 Issue Date: 10/2003 Page 3 of 6 Fast Trak Use fire-fighting procedures according to type of fire. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Special Firefighting Procedures: Wear positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus and full turnout gear. Container rupture may occur under fire conditions or when heated, if not adequately ventilated. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. SPILLS AND LEAKS SECTION 6 Containment: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Clean Up: Small Spill: (Generally, a small spill is one that involves a single, small package (i.e. up to a 55 gallon drum), small cylinder, or a small (noncontinuing) leak from a large container.) Stop leak if you can do so with out risk. Small spills can be absorbed with sand or kitty liter. C.) Spilled area may become slippery. Wash contaminated areas with large volumes of water if approved by local, state, and federal environmental agencies. Large Spill: Dike ahead of liquid spill for later recovery of usable product and proper disposal of any residue. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Use appropriate absorbent material such as dry earth or sand to contain the spilled material. Use appropriate equipment to recover as much spilled material as possible for use or disposal. Ensure that pumping equipment is of 316 stainless steel construction or other compatible metallurgy. Runoff may cause pollution. Evacuation: Necessary STORAGE AND HANDLING SECTION 7 Storage: Will corrode incompatible metals. Store in polyethylene, polypropylene or 316L stainless steel containers in a cool, well-ventilated dry place at temperatures above 40 o F. Do not sore near food or feed. Do not stack pallets more than two (2) high. Work Hygienic Practices: Always use proper personal protective equipment when working with or around Fast Trak. Eyes: Skin: Respiratory: Ventilation: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SECTION 8 Safety glasses or chemical splash proof goggles. Chemical resistant gloves, boots, and impervious work clothing should be worn to minimize skin exposure. If use generates an aerosol mist or respiratory irritation, use NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator (3M #8710). Good ventilation practice should be exercised.

4 Issue Date: 10/2003 Page 4 of 6 Fast Trak Other: Safety shower and eyewash fountain or at least 5 gallons of accessible clean water should be provided in a Fast Trak handling area. OSHA PEL 8hr TWA and ACGIH TLV-TWA have not been established for this product. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DATA SECTION 9 Appearance: Clear to slightly hazy liquid Odor: None ph: <3 Specific Gravity: 1.3 Vapor Pressure: Vapor Density: Boiling Point: Decomposes Freezing Point: Water Solubility: 100% Density: 9.9 lbs./gal Evaporation Rate: Viscosity: % Volatile: Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient: Saturated Vapor Concentration: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY SECTION 10 Stability: Stable Conditions To Avoid: Avoid excessive heat. If heated above 110 degrees C, will decompose to produce carbon dioxide. Incompatibility: Aluminum, mild steel, copper, brass, nylon. Reactive or incompatible with nitrates, hypochlorites, sulfides, alkaline materials and many metals. Toxic or flammable gases may be formed or unacceptable corrosion may occur. Do not mix with UAN solutions. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Burning may generate carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and possibly other toxic fumes. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS SECTION 11 Acute Effects: Eyes: Severe Eye Irritant. Contact may result in effects ranging from redness and/or burning to permanent damage.

5 Issue Date: 10/2003 Page 5 of 6 Fast Trak Skin: Mild to moderate immediate irritation, but prolonged exposure may result in redness, skin burns and severe damage. Ingestion: Corrosive if swallowed. May cause severe irritation or burns to mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Inhalation: Overexposure by inhalation may cause irritation and burning of nose, throat and respiratory tract. Sub Chronic Effects: None Known Chronic Effects: May aggravate existing skin or respiratory disorders. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION SECTION 12 Alga/Lemna Growth Inhibition: Not Known Toxicity to fish and Invertebrates: Not Known Toxicity to Plants: Not Known Toxicity to Birds: Not Known DISPOSAL SECTION 13 Do not contaminate lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans or other waters by discharge of waste effluents or equipment washwaters. Dispose of waste effluents according to state and local regulations. Also, chemical additions or other alterations of this product may invalidate any disposal information in this MSDS.
