Principle Routes of Exposure

Only when used as directed

Classification system

In compliance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29CFR 1910.1200), a chemical mixture is considered hazardous if it contains 1.0% or more of a hazardous compound or 0.1% or more of a carcinogen. The product contains hazardous material(s) in excess of these amounts; therefore, precautions adequate for the pure form of the material(s) are presented here. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) ratings (scale 0-4): Health=0 Fire=0 Reactivity=0 Hazard Overview Health: Minimal risk if used as directed. Fire: Not considered a fire hazard. Reactivity: Sodium Reagent contains Ethanol 95%, Zinc Acetate, Uranyl Acetate, and Trichloroacetic Acid. Minimal risk. Special Hazards: Ethanol 95%: Flammable. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Above flash point, vapor air mixtures are explosive. Zinc Acetate: Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Not considered to be an explosion hazard. Uranyl Acetate: Material may emit toxic and radioactive fumes if involved in a fire. Trichloroacetic Acid: Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. With thermal decomposition, products may include toxic fumes of phosgene, toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride, toxic oxides of carbon and chloroform. Carcinogenicity information OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration): None of the ingredients is listed. NTP (National Toxicology Program): None of the ingredients is listed. IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer): None of the ingredients is listed.
