Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
The product does not require a hazard warning label in accordance with GHS criteria.
Other hazards
This type of product has a tendency to create dust if roughly handled. The product does not burn
readily but as with many organic powders, flammable dust clouds may be formed in air. The product
is under certain conditions capable of dust explosion.
The product does not contain a substance fulfilling the PBT (persistent/bioaccumulative/toxic) criteria
or the vPvB (very persistent/very bioaccumulative) criteria.

polyacrylamide, anionic
4. First-Aid Measures
Description of first aid measures
Remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.
On skin contact:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water
On ingestion:
Rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water. Check breathing and pulse. Place victim in the
recovery position, cover and keep warm. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Seek medical attention. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious
or having convulsions.
5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
dry powder, foam
Additional information:
If water is used, restrict pedestrian and vehicular traffic in areas where slip hazard may exist.
Further information:
The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated
extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

No eating, drinking, smoking or tobacco use at the place of work. Hands and/or face should be
washed before breaks and at the end of the shift. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas.
Storage stability:
Avoid extreme heat.
Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Particle filter with
medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN ISO 374-1)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1):
e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
