Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------

NOTE: The hazard information listed is for the chromatography packing contained within the pre-packed chromatography column. Information on the human health effects from exposure to this substance is limited.

Inhalation:
Not expected to be a health hazard. Vapors are unlikely due to physical properties.
Ingestion:
No adverse effects expected. Extremely large oral dosages may produce gastrointestinal disturbances.
Skin Contact:
Not expected to be a health hazard from skin exposure. Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties.
Eye Contact:
Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action.
Chronic Exposure:
No adverse health effects expected.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
No information found.

4. First Aid Measures

Inhalation:
Not expected to require first aid measures. Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty.
Ingestion:
Not expected to require first aid measures. If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice.
Skin Contact:
Not expected to require first aid measures. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
Not expected to require first aid measures. Wash thoroughly with running water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire:
Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion:
Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Remove all sources of ignition. Caution! Floor and other surfaces may be slippery. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Properly designed equipment is vital if these ion exchange resins are to be used in conjunction with strong oxidizing agents such as nitric acid to prevent a rapid build-up of pressure and possible explosion. Consult a source knowledgeable in the handling of these materials before proceeding. Do not pack column with dry ion exchange resins. Dry beads expand when wetted; this expansion can cause glass columns to shatter. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:
None established.
Ventilation System:
Not expected to require any special ventilation.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
Not expected to require personal respirator usage.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance:
White to slightly yellow or tan particle bed or suspension prepacked inside a plastic column.
Odor:
Odorless.
Solubility:
Insoluble
Density:
No information found.
pH:
No information found.
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F):
No information found.
Boiling Point:
Not applicable.
Melting Point:
No information found.
Vapor Density (Air=1):
Not applicable.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg):
Not applicable.
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1):
No information found.

10. Stability and Reactivity

Stability:
Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:
Oxides of carbon and possibly divinylbenzene monomers.
Hazardous Polymerization:
Will not occur.
Incompatibilities:
Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, particularly concentrated nitric acid.
Oxidizing agents such as nitric acid attack organic ion exchange resin under certain conditions. This could lead to anything from a slightly degraded resin up to an explosive reaction. Before using strong oxidizing agents, consult sources knowledgeable in handling such materials.
Conditions to Avoid:
Heat, flames, ignition sources and incompatibles.
