SECTION 2: Hazards identification
HMIS Hazard Rating: EMERGENCY OVERVIEW WARNING! THIS DEVICE CONTAINS A FAST BURNING CHARGE. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE AND HEAT SOURCES. SEVERE MECHANICAL IMPACT MAY DEFORM PRODUCT. Individual cartridges may ignite if the unit is exposed to extreme heat as seen with fire conditions. Oxides of Nitrogen, Carbon, and Sulfur may be formed. Keep out of the reach of young children and pets. Adult supervision is strongly encouraged when product is used, especially by young children. Product contents are harmful by ingestion. Ignition of product when confined may lead to an explosion.
Potential health effects
INHALATION: Normal handling of the unused product poses no exposure hazards. When the product is used, particles and vapors may be generated which may cause temporary slight irritation to the respiratory tract; this is a rare occurrence when the product is used as directed.. SKIN: Unlikely to cause irritation to skin. Particles from ignited product may cause thermal burns. EYES: Unlikely to cause irritation to eyes; In unusual cases, particulates from used product may cause irritation. INGESTION: Ingestion of product is highly unlikely. Components of product are harmful and will cause irritation to gastro-intestinal tract. CARCINOGENICITY: Product contains silica, which is considered carcinogenic by the State of California (Proposition 65).

Hazard symbols and risk phrases are based on maximum listed concentration of each Unlisted ingredients are not "hazardous" per the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), the Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) or the European (GHS) directives and are considered trade secrets under US Federal Law (29CFR and 40CFR), Canadian Law (Health Canada Legislation), and European Union Directives. PRODUCT NAME: Estes Model Rocket Engines PRODUCT NUMBER: SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES INHALATION: If symptoms of lung irritation occur (coughing, wheezing or breathing difficulty), remove from exposure area to fresh air immediately. Get medical attention in the unusual event of severe distress. EYES: Remove contact lenses, then wash for 15 minutes with clean potable water lifting upper and lower lids occasionally. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical attention if delayed dermatitis develops (a rare condition). INGESTION: Contact medical authorities immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to avoid aspiration of regurgitant. Give 1-2 glasses of water to victim if victim is conscious and able to swallow and seek immediate medical assistance. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Note to Physician: This product contains nitrates, which may produce methemoglobinemia. Methylene blue may be required for treatment. Treatment should be aimed at reducing methemoglobin levels, as well as providing respiratory and metabolic support. As product contains charcoal, gastric lavage may be of benefit within 30-60 minutes post-ingestion. SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES GENERAL HAZARDS: Flammability Classification: (defined by 29 CFR 1910.1200) Class 1.4 Explosive. Can rapidly burn or explode (if confined in metal or similar situations) under fire conditions. Individual devices will randomly burn and/or explode. Product will not mass explode if multiple devices are involved. Burning material may produce toxic and irritating vapors. See Emergency Response Guidebook for further information. Mechanical impacts or electrical discharges are highly unlikely to cause product to ignite. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Where large quantities are affected, flood area with water; if fire is already consuming product, incident command should base fire- fighting decisions on capabilities and total quantity of product. If no water is available, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or earth may be used. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: In case of fire, use normal fire fighting equipment. Protection concerns must also address the potential of the physical characteristic of this product as explosive. Quarantine area for fires involving large quantities of product. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: If fire reaches a large quantity of product, consider a withdrawal of personnel to a safe distance. Evacuate all persons, including emergency responders from the area for at least 500 feet (1/10 mile) in all directions. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxides, Sulfur Oxides SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Model rocket engines are devices in a solid state. Simply pick up and place in containers approved for storage and transport. Wipe up any dust with wet cloths. IF PRODUCT IS DAMAGED, DO NOT USE PRODUCT; DISCARD IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. SEE SECTION 13. SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: HANDLING: Product may burn/explode if exposed to extreme heat. Do not smoke while handling product.

Consult the glove and clothing manufacturers, suppliers and/or industrial hygienist for further information. Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is required whenever air contamination (dust, mist, or vapors) is generated by the process. A NIOSH approved high efficiency toxic dust/mist/fume respirator is recommended. Work Practices and Engineering Controls: General room ventilation is adequate unless the process generates dust or fumes. Work-clothing should be removed in a change room on site and laundered professionally. Employees should shower and change into street clothes before leaving the facility. Prevent the accumulation of dust in the work area by thorough periodic cleaning of the area. Protective Measures During Repair and Maintenance: No special measures are required.
