REACTIVITY DATA: (CONTINUED) STABILITY: (CONDITIONS TO AVOID) Avoid dust clouds or layers. INCOMPATIBILITY: (SPECIFIC MATERIALS TO AVOID) Oxidizing material. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Same as for wood or paper. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION: ACTION TO TAKE FOR SPILLS/LEAKS: Sweep up and use if possible, or discard using disposal method listed below. DISPOSAL METHOD: Preferable method is to dispose in landfill. Disposal can also be accomplished by incineration under controlled conditions to eliminate dust explosions. In both methods, disposal techniques should be in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding management, use, handling, treatment, storage, disposal, and transportation of used chemicals. 6. HEALTH HAZARD DATA: EYE: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action. SKIN CONTACT: Essentially nonirritating to skin. SKIN ABSORPTION: A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts. INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is low. No hazards anticipated from ingestion incidental to industrial exposure. The oral LD50 for rats is >10,000 mg/kg. INHALATION: Single exposure to dust is not likely to be hazardous. SYSTEMIC 6 OTHER EFFECTS: Based on available data, repeated exposures are not anticipated to cause any significant adverse effects. Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse effects on the mother should have no effect on the fetus.

FIRST AID: EYES: Irrigate immediately with water for at least five minutes. Mechanical effects only. SKIN: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure. INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure. INHALATION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure. 8. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: EXPOSURE GUIDELINE (S): Dow Industrial Hygiene Guide is 10 mg/m3. VENTILATION: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In dusty atmospheres, use an approved dust respirator. SKIN PROTECTION: No precautions other than clean body-covering . clothing should be needed. EYE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particles which could cause mechanical injury to the eye, wear chemical goggles. 9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Use reasonable caution and personal cleanliness. Cellulose ethers are water-soluble polymers which form aqueous dispersions by swelling and by successive hydration of their structural layers. There is no sharp solubility limit. CAUTION: (1) Under certain conditions a fine dust of this material in air may cause a dust explosion when exposed to heat, sparks, and open flame. (2) If material spills and gets wet, could cause slipping hazard. MSDS STATUS: Revised sections 1 and 5.
