16. Other Information 

NFPA Hazard codes:

Health : 1 Fire: 1 Reactivity: 0 Special: 

HMIS III rating

Health: 1 Flammability: 1 Physical hazard: 0 

NFPA and HMIS use a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4 to indicate the degree of hazard. A value of zero means that the 

substance possesses essentially no hazard; a rating of four indicates extreme danger. Although similar, the two rating 

systems are intended for different purposes, and use different criteria. The NFPA system was developed to provide an onthe-spot alert to the hazards of a material, and their severity, to emergency responders. The HMIS system was designed to 

communicate workplace hazard information to employees who handle hazardous chemicals.
