[Respirators]

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
[Exposure Effects]

Coma was reported following ingestion of an herbicide containing atrazine, aminotriazole, ethylene glycol, and formaldehyde. Muscle tremors, tetany, and ataxia have been reported in animals following ingestions of triazine herbicides.

[Small spills/leaks]

Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS.
[Incompatibilities]

Incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas Incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
[Stability]

Very stable over several yr of shelf life and only slight sensitivity to natural light and extreme temperatures. Evik 80w has a shelf life of at least 5 yr when stored in a dry place.
[Combustion Products]

Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
