Section 4: First-Aid Measures
- Eye contact: Flush eyes with large quantities of water immediately and continue to flush
until discomfort is eased.
- Skin contact: If discomfort or redness occurs wash off with warm water and soap.
- Inhalation: First aid is not normally required. If breathing difficulties develop, move victim
away from source of exposure and into fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention.
- Ingestion: Seek medical attention if any discomfort occurs.
- Medical Conditions: Generally Aggravated by Exposure- Allergic or slight skin irritation may
occur.
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
- This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. If container is not properly cooled, it can
rupture in the heat of a fire. Vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas.
- Flash Point: > 380°F / 193°C
- FP Method: COC, ASTM D92
- Flammabilty Class : Unknown
- LEL: Unknown UEL: Unknown
- Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray is recommended.
Water or foam may cause frothing of materials heated above 212°F. Carbon dioxide can
displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces.
- Special Fire Fighting Procedures: No special firefighting procedures are indicated.
- Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
- This material may burn, but will not ignite readily. Keep all sources of ignition away from
spill/release.
- Prevent spilled material from entering storm drains, other unauthorized drainage
systems, and natural waterways. Spilled material may be absorbed into an appropriate
absorbent material.
- Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended.
- Spilled material and empty containers must be disposed of in accordance with local
state, and federal regulations.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
- Storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry, wellventilated
areas away from heat and all sources of ignition. Store only in approved
containers. Keep away from any incompatible material (see Section 10). Protect container(s)
against physical damage.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
- Eye protection: Not required for normal use. While contact with this material is not
expected to cause irritation, the use of approved eye protection to safeguard against
potential eye contact is considered good practice.
- Skin protection: Not required for single use of short duration. For prolonged or repeated
exposure, use impervious clothing over parts of the body subject to exposure.
- Respiratory protection: Not required for normal use. If use of material results in vapor or
mist, use an organic vapor respirator with a dust and mist filter. All respirators must be
NIOSH certified. Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon atmospheres.
- Ventilation:Upon generation of vapor or mist, adequate ventilation in accordance
with good engineering practice is necessary.

Section 11: Toxicological Information
- Routes of Exposure: Skin absorption, accidental ingestion or intentional misuse, eye
contact, inhalation unlikely.
We have not carried out any animal testing, therefore we have no Toxicological Data
specifically for this product. The Toxicological Data, where provided by the raw material
manufacturer, can be made available on request. Other Health Effects: Low oral toxicity, but
ingestion may cause irritation of the gastro-intestinal tract.
Section 12: Ecological Information* (non-mandatory)
- Ecotoxicity: Not evaluated
Section 13: Disposal Considerations* (non-mandatory)
- Small amounts (less than 5 Litres) of unwanted product may be flushed with water to
sewer.
This material, if discarded as produced, is not a RCRA "listed" hazardous waste. However, it
should be fully evaluated for hazardous waste characteristics prior to disposal (40 CFR 261).
Use which results in chemical or physical change or contamination may subject it to
regulation as a hazardous waste. Along with properly characterizing all waste materials,
consult state and local regulations regarding the proper disposal of this material.
Container contents should be completely used and containers should be emptied prior to
discard. Container rinsate could be considered a RCRA hazardous waste and must be
disposed of with care and in full compliance with federal, state and local regulations. Larger
empty containers, such as drums, should be returned to the distributor or to a drum
reconditioner. To assure proper disposal of smaller empty containers, consult with state and
local regulations and disposal authorities
Section 14: Transport Information* (non-mandatory)
- U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
Shipping Description: Not regulated
Note: If shipped by land in a packaging having a capacity of 3,500 gallons or more, the
provisions of 49 CFR, Part 130 apply. (Contains oil)

Section 16: Other Information
- Most Recent Revision 10/22/2014
- Glo Germ™ Powder is manufactured in a plant that uses Formaldehyde. In 10 years of
random sample testing at independent labs, Formaldehyde has not been detected in Glo
Germ™ particles. The original manufacturing method included using Formaldehyde for
"curing" and the nature of the process ensures that any remaining formaldehyde is offgassed.
- Disclaimer: The information contained herein is accurate to the best of our knowledge. Glo
Germ™ Company makes no warranty of any kind, express or implied, concerning the safe use
of this material in your process or in combination with other substances.
