Safety Data Sheet
Reactivity: Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.

Advice for Firefighters
Precautionary Measures Fire: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed
containers cool. Collect contaminated fire-fighting water separately. It must not enter the sewage system. Exercise
caution when fighting any chemical fire.
Firefighting Instructions: Urea will not burn or support combustion but will decompose into noxious, poisonous gas
when exposed to the high temperatures of a fire. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full
protective clothing.

Protection During Firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory
protection.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Ammonia and Nitrogen Oxides (Nitric Oxide and Nitrogen Dioxide).
Reference to Other Sections: Refer to section 9 for flammability properties.

Safety Data Sheet
Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container closed when not in use. Keep/Store
away from direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures and incompatible materials.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids. Strong bases. Strong oxidizers. Aldehydes.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
