2.4 Other Hazards Summary: Pyrotechnic mixtures are known to burn with intense heat and give off toxic
fumes. Confining a pyrotechnic mixture while burning may result in severe consequences.
• Uncontrolled activation may result in burn injuries from combustion products (particles, gases).
• Uncontrolled activation may result in blast trauma.
• Uncontrolled activation may result in eye or airway irritation through combustion products.
• Hazard Communication Standard (HMIS): Health-2, Flammability-2, Physical-1
• This is a sealed device. Under anticipated handling, storage and use conditions, chronic exposure to
chemical ingredients is highly unlikely. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause more severe
irritation or dermatitis. Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause more severe irritation and possibly
lung damage. Potassium perchlorate may cause methemoglobinemia, which is characterized by
chocolate-brown colored blood, headache, weakness, dizziness, breath shortness, cyanosis (bluish skin
due to deficient oxygenation of blood), rapid heart rate, unconsciousness and possible death. Zirconium
may cause skin granulomas with prolonged or repeated skin contact. May cause liver and kidney damage.
3.1 Pyrotechnic Article: Pyrotechnic ingredients in this article are sealed from the environment (delivery
condition) and cannot be released under normal or foreseeable conditions of use including professional
disposal without destroying the article. Typically, this pyrotechnic article has a glass-to-metal seal header,
bridge wire ignition element, charge sleeve, can, insulator cup and injection molding. The pyrotechnic
ignition charge and output charge are sealed inside the completed assembly.

5.1 Fire and Explosion Hazard: An external fire will not cause the device or the entire packaged contents to
activate or ignite all at one time.
5.2 Advice for Fire Fighters:
♦ Try to keep fire away from packaging or pyrotechnic articles.
♦ Evacuate the area if fire reaches packaging or pyrotechnic articles.
♦ Never fight explosive fires!
5.3 Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam or water spray or media suitable on surrounding material
for cooling purposes.
5.4 Products of Decomposition: See Section 10 (Stability and Reactivity).
6.1 Precautionary Measures: In the case of destruction or damage of the pyrotechnic article (discharge of
the pyrotechnic ingredients), remove potential ignition sources. This pyrotechnic article may activate when
exposed to fire, heat, electrical energy, electrostatic energy, shock or mechanical loads (crush or impact).
6.2 Environmental Precautions: Ventilation recommended. Do not allow pyrotechnic articles or ingredients
to get into bodies of water, wastewater or soil.
6.3 Process for Clearing: Put on protective equipment before entering the area (e.g., safety glasses w/ side
shields, flame-resistant shop coat, gloves). Igniter – Carefully pick up the igniter and place in a non-static
generating container. Pyrotechnic powder – Saturate the pyrotechnic material with water (spray bottle).
Wipe contaminated surfaces with a wet cloth and place all contents (powder and cloth) in a sealable, non-
static generating container. Seal the container to prevent the pyrotechnic material from drying out. This
pyrotechnic material is less sensitive to ignition sources when properly wetted with water. Contact an
authorized environmental firm and dispose in accordance with applicable laws, regulations or ordinances.
6.4 Reference to other sections: See sections 7, 8 & 13.
7.1 General Precautions: Keep fire away, keep away from ignition sources, heat and sparks.
7.2 Handling:
Do not connect this device to an electrical source improperly. Consult product installation instructions or
request assistance from the supplier.
Do not attempt to open or breach this device.
Do not attempt to make repairs on this device. Consult supplier for return or disposal instructions.
Do not attempt to remove or allow damage to the wire leads, if applicable.
Do not misuse or mistreat this device.
Limit and prevent electrostatic charging or discharge.
7.3 Storage:
Safeguard from theft, unauthorized use or unauthorized removal.
This pyrotechnic article is guaranteed for fifteen (15) years and will store well in a cool, dry location.
Keep pyrotechnic articles away from materials that may increase storage hazards.
Protect pyrotechnic article and packaging from fire, heat, electrical energy, shock, friction or impact.
