=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NONE PROVIDED
Lower Limits:NONE PROVIDE
Upper Limits:NONE PROVIDE
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEANS SUITABLE FOR EXTINGUISHING
    SURROUNDING FIRE. WATER SPARY MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED
    CONTAINERS COOL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPRIVED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPERATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NOT CONSIDERED TO BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.
    NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A FIRE HAZARD. AT FIRE TEMPERATURES AMMONIUM
    CHLORIDE BEGINS TO CORRODE METALS AND MAY DISSOCIATE INTO AMMONIA
    AND HYDROGEN CHLORIDE. MIX TURES OF ABOUT 16% TO 25% (BY VOLUME)
    AMMONIA GAS IN AIR ARE FLAMMABLE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. WEAR
    APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS SPECIFIED. SPILLS:
    SWEEP UP AND CONTAINERIZE FOR RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL. VACUUMING OR
    WET SWEEPING MAY BE USED TO AV OID DUST DISPERSAL. US REGULATIONS
    (CERCLA) REQUIRE REPORTING SPILLS AND RELEASES TO SOIL, WATER AND
    AIR IN EXCESS OF REPORTABLE QUANTITIES. THE TOLL FREE NUMBER FOR
    THE US COAST GUARD 800-424-8802.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP IN A TIGHTLY CLOSED CONTAINER.
    PROTECT FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE. STORE IN A COOL, DRY, VENTILATED AREA
    AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT, MOISTURE AND INCOMPATIBLES. CONTAINERS
    OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE HAZARD OUS WHEN EMPTY SINCE THEY RETAIN
    PRODUCT RESIDUES (DUST, SOLIDS).
Other Precautions:OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS LISTED FOR THE
    PRODUCT.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF THE EXPOSURE LIMIT IS EXCEEDED, A HALF-FACE
    DUST/MIST RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN FOR UP TO TEN TIMES THE EXPOSURE
    LIMIT OR THE MAXIMUM USE CONCENTRACTION SPECIFIED BY THE
    APPROPRIATE REGULATORY AGENCY  OR RESPIRATOR SUPPLIER, WHICHEVER IS
    LOWEST.  "SEE OTHER INFORMATION"
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION IS GENERALLY PREFERRED BECAUSE IT
    CAN CONTROL THE EMISSIONS OF THE CONTAMINANT AT ITS SOURCE.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SAFETY GOGGLES &/OR FULL FACE SHIELD WHERE
    DUSTING/SPLASHING POSSIBLE.
Other Protective Equipment:IMPERVIOUS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, INCLUDING
    BOOTS, GLOVES, LAB COAT, APRON OR COVERALLS. MAINTAIN EYEWASH
    FOUNTAIN AND QUICK DRENCH FACILITIES IN WORK AREA.
Supplemental Safety and Health
AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS: AMMONIUM CHLORIDE: -ACGIH THRESHOLD LIMIT
