Safety Data Sheet
Continue rinsing for at least 60 minutes. Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor.
General: Corrosive to eyes, respiratory system and skin. Harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Corrosive to mucus membranes. The gas is extremely irritating to mucous membranes and lung tissue.
Coughing, chest pain, and difficulty in breathing may result. Prolonged exposure may result in bronchitis, pulmonary
edema, and chemical pneumonitis. Breathing high concentrations may result in death.
Skin Contact: Repeated exposure to this material can result in absorption through skin causing significant health hazard.
Causes severe skin burns.
Eye Contact: Causes serious eye damage.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause burns or irritation of the linings of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal
tract.
Indication of Any Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment Needed
If exposed or concerned, get medical advice and attention.

SECTION 5 - FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, fog, alcohol-resistant foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a heavy water stream. A heavy water stream may spread burning liquid.
Do not use carbon dioxide, ammonia will react with carbon dioxide to form a dense white cloud.
Special Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture
Fire Hazard: Not considered flammable but may burn at high temperatures.
Explosion Hazard: If exposed to elevated temperatures, Aqua Ammonia will release Ammonia gas. Although classified
nonflammable, Ammonia does have an explosive range. Ammonia can be a dangerous fire and explosion hazard when
mixed with air.
Reactivity: Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.
Advice for Firefighters
Precautionary Measures Fire: Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire.
Firefighting Instructions: Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers.
Protection During Firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory
protection.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Ammonia and oxides of Nitrogen (Nitrogen Dioxide, Nitric Oxide).
Other Information: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Reference to Other Sections: Refer to section 9 for flammability properties.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling
