COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Composition Ingredients Name CAS Proportion Aluminium Sulphate % Water Balance 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

2 Inhalation Not normally an inhalation risk. However, if symptoms occur, remove the source of contamination or move the victim to fresh air. Ensure airways are clear and have qualified person give oxygen through a face mask if breathing is difficult. If symptoms develop, seek medical attention. Ingestion If swallowed, give 2 glasses of water to drink. IMMEDIATELY call a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Skin Wash affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing thoroughly. Do not take clothing home to be laundered. Get medical attention if symptoms persist. Eye Contact IMMEDIATELY flush eye(s) with copious amounts of water for approximately 15 minutes holding eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the non-affected eye. Seek immediate medical attention. Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Water fog (or if unavailable, fine water mist or spray), foam, dry agent Media (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder). Hazard from Combustion Not combustible. Products Specific Hazards Combustion product Hydrogen gas. Precautions Fire-fighters to wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) if risk of exposure to decomposition products. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency Procedures For small spills: Wear personal protective equipment. Collect and seal in properly labelled drums. Wash remaining area with large volumes of water. For large spills: Restrict access to area. Clear area of unprotected personnel. Provide adequate protective equipment and ventilation. Remove chemicals which can react with the spilled material. Clean-up & Disposal Contains spillage. Do not allow entry into sewers or waterways. Neutralise the final traces and flush area with water. Federal, state and local regulations should be reviewed prior to disposal. May be possible to neutralise or dilute the material into a sewer. May be possible to atomise dilute solutions in an approved combustion chamber. Harmful to aquatic life in high concentrations. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Safe Handling Avoid generating mist or spray with solutions of product. Label containers. Keep containers closed when not in use. Empty contains may contain residues which are hazardous. Use smallest possible amounts in designated areas with adequate ventilation. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily available. Safe Storage Materials that react violently with acids should not be stored in the same area. Use corrosion-resistant structural materials and lighting and ventilation systems in the storage area. Store in suitable labelled containers. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and when empty. Protect from damage. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

3 National Exposure Standards Biological Limit Values Engineering Controls Respiratory Protection Eye Protection Skin Protection No standards set. For exposure standard for soluble aluminium salts is 2 mg/m 3 as Al. No biological limit allocated. Engineering control methods to reduce hazardous exposures are preferred. General methods include mechanical ventilation, (dilution and general exhaust), process or personnel enclosure, control of process conditions and process modification (e.g. substitution of a less hazardous material). Administrative controls and personal protective equipment may be also required. Use a corrosion-resistant ventilation system separate from other exhaust ventilation systems. Exhaust directly to the outside. Use local exhaust ventilation, and process enclosure if necessary, to control airborne spray/mists. Supply sufficient air to make up for air removed by exhaust systems. If engineering controls and work practices are not effective in controlling exposure to this material, then wear suitable personal protective equipment including approved respiratory protection. Splash proof chemical safety goggles. A face shield may also be necessary. Impervious gloves, coveralls, boots and/or other resistant protective clothing. Have a safety shower/eye-wash fountain readily available in the immediate work area. Personal Protective Remove contaminated clothing promptly. Keep contaminated clothing in Comments closed containers. Discard or launder before re-wearing. Inform laundry personnel of contaminant s hazards. Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling this material. Maintain good housekeeping. 9.
