EYES AND FACE: Safety glasses. Chemical goggles if there is a potential for exposure to
particles which could cause eye discomfort.
RESPIRATORY: In dusty or misty atmospheres, use a NIOSH approved particulate respirator
GLOVES: Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material (such as natural rubber,
Selection Category A)
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants; shoes plus socks
WORK HYGENIC PRACTICES: Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash hands before eating,
drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, smoking, or using the toilet. Follow manufacturer’s instructions
for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water.
Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
COMMENTS: Eyewash fountain and/or safety shower recommended.

X. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Excessive heat and flames
STABILITY: Stable
POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: Strong acids, caustic compounds, humid-wet conditions. Non-
reactive toward Monoammonium phosphate, zinc and water.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: If heated to decomposition, may give off toxic fumes
of ammonia and formaldehyde as well as oxides of magnesium iron, potassium and phosphorus.
Urea can yield cyanuric acid or biuret upon heating.
XI. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EYE EFFECTS: Solid or dust may cause eye irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action.
SKIN EFFECTS: Essentially non-irritating to the skin. Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in
absorption of harmful amounts.
DERMAL LC
50: No Data
ORAL LD
50: No Data (expected to have low toxicity if swallowed; harmful effects not anticipated from
swallowing small amounts)
INHALATION LC
50: No Data (dust may cause irritation to upper respiratory tract – nose and throat)
SENSITIZATION: No Data
ACUTE EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: Causes moderate eye irritation.
CHRONIC EFFECTS FROM OVEREXPOSURE: No Data
CARCINOGENICITY:
IARC: Not Listed OSHA: Not Listed
