COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Hazardous Component Name CAS-No. Average % by Weight Mono- and di- potassium salts of phosphorous acid Phosphonic acid, potassium salt Dipotassium phosphonate Formic acid SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES General Eye Skin Ingestion Inhalation Notes to physician Treatment When possible, have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment. Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye.

Appropriate supportive and symptomatic treatment as indicated by the patient's condition is recommended. There is no specific antidote. SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash point Autoignition temperature Lower Flammability Limit Upper Flammability Limit Not combustible. Page 2 of 8

3 Fire Fighting Instructions Use appropriate extinguishing media for material that is supplying fuel. Keep out of smoke. Fight fire from upwind position. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. Whenever possible, contain fire-fighting water by diking area with sand or earth. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Firefighters should wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Methods for cleaning up Additional advice Keep unauthorized people away. Isolate hazard area.
