Hazards Identification Emergency overview Potential health effects Routes of exposure Eyes Skin Inhalation Ingestion Signs and symptoms Potential environmental effects CAUTION! may irritate the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. Skin. Eyes. Ingestion. Inhalation. Contact may cause eye irritation. or powder may irritate eye tissue. or powder may irritate the skin. Skin irritation occurs on contact with moist or wet skin. may irritate throat and respiratory system and cause coughing. Frequent inhalation of dust over a long period of time increases the risk of developing lung diseases. No harmful effects expected in amounts likely to be ingested by accident. However, accidental ingestion of the content may cause discomfort. Eye contact: Symptoms can include irritation, redness, scratching of the cornea, and tearing. Skin contact: Mild skin irritation. may irritate throat and respiratory system and cause coughing. The product is not classified as environmentally hazardous. However, this does not exclude the possibility that large or frequent spills can have a harmful or damaging effect on the environment. 3.

This Safety Data Sheet is not a guarantee of product specification or NPK value(s). NPK content is on specified sales orders, customer invoices, or product specification sheets obtained from supplier. 4. First Aid Measures First aid procedures Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact Ingestion Notes to physician General advice 5. Fire Fighting Measures Flammable properties Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Protection of firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Protective equipment for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Explosion data Sensitivity to static discharge Sensitivity to mechanical impact Hazardous combustion products Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Wash contact areas with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. in the eyes: Do not rub eyes. Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Treat symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Urea is non-combustible under most conditions. However, during a fire, irritating/toxic gases may be generated. The dust can be ignited at very high temperatures, but not expected to explode (minimum ignition temperature (cloud) = 900 deg C. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. None known. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Use water spray to prevent dust formation, absorb heat, keep containers cool and protect fire-exposed material. Carbon oxides. Nitrogen Oxides Cyanide compounds. Ammonia. Biuret. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for containment Methods for cleaning up Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable protective clothing. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the MSDS. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use a dust suppressant agent which does not react with the product. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Avoid dust formation. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. After removal flush contaminated area thoroughly with water. Other information 7. Handling and Storage Handling Never return spills to original containers for re-use. Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Observe good industrial hygiene practices Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 19-May / 6

Provide adequate ventilation. Observe Occupational Exposure Limits and minimize the risk of inhalation of dust. Use tight fitting goggles if dust is generated. Risk of contact: Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. Wear air supplied respiratory protection if exposure concentrations are unknown. In case of inadequate ventilation or risk of inhalation of dust, use suitable respiratory equipment with particle filter.
