If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Have conscious person drink several glasses of water to dilute. Induce
vomiting by sticking finger in throat. Seek immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
or convulsing person.
Section VII. Reactivity Data
Reaction Products
Stable. Conditions to avoid: High temperatures, sparks, open flames and all other sources of ignition, contamination.
Evolves highly toxic hydrogen cyanide when heated.
HEXAMETHYLENETETRAMINE page 3/4
This substance is known to cause allergic reactions in certain individuals once they become sensitized after exposure to even
small amounts over a period of time. There is sufficient evidence of the carcinogenicity of this substance in experimental
animals (reasonably anticipated carcinogen). Mutagen. Teratogenic effects: Not available. Toxicity of the product to the
reproductive system: Not available. To the best of our knowledge the chronic toxicity of this substance has not been fully
investigated. Medical conditions which may be aggravated: Individuals with preexisting diseases of the skin, eye, or
respiratory system may be more susceptible to the toxicity of overexposure to this product.
Immediately flush eyes with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the
entire surface. Call a physician.
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
Remove patient to fresh air. Administer approved oxygen supply if breathing is difficult. Administer artificial respiration or
CPR if breathing has ceased. Call a physician.
Oxidizing agents, acids, sodium peroxide, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, ammonium nitrate, nitric acid, iodoform,
1-bromopentaborane, iodine, maleic anhydride, acrolein, tri-iso-butyl aluminum. Corrodes certain metals like aluminum
and zinc.
Reacts with acids to form formaldehyde. Decomposes at 200°C to emit toxic ammonia, formaldehyde and hydrogen
cyanide gas. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.

case of spill and leak
Spill and leak
Waste disposal
Storage and Handling
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves.
Evacuate the area. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Sweep up and place in container for disposal. Avoid raising dust.
Use non-sparking tools. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick up is complete. DO NOT empty into drains.
DO NOT touch spilled material.
Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an after burner
and scrubber. According to all applicable regulations. May be harmful to aquatic life. Can be dangerous if allowed to
enter drinking water intakes. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation water supplies, lakes, streams, ponds, or rivers.
Store in a cool place away from heated areas, sparks, and flame. Store in a well ventilated area. Store away from
incompatible materials. Do not add any other material to the container. Do not wash down the drain. Do not breathe dust. In
case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Keep away from direct sunlight or strong incandescent
light. Keep container tightly closed and dry. Manipulate under an adequate fume hood. Avoid raising dust. Use
non-sparking tools. Empty containers may contain a hazardous residue. Handle and open container with care. Minimize
dust generation and exposure - use dust mask or appropriate protection. Product is highly hygroscopic. Take off
immediately all contaminated clothing. Protect exposed skin with a suitable cream. This product must be manipulated by
qualified personnel. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash well after use. In accordance with good storage and
handling practices. Do not allow smoking and food consumption while handling.

Splash goggles. Impervious rubber gloves, apron, coveralls, and/or other resistant protective clothing. Sufficient to protect skin. A
OSHA/MSHA jointly approved respirator is advised in the absence of proper environmental controls. If more than TLV, do not breathe vapor.
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Do not wear contact lenses. Make eye bath and emergency shower available. Ensure that eyewash
station and safety shower is proximal to the work-station location.
Engineering controls Use in a chemical fume hood to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Do not use in unventilated
spaces.
Special Precautions or Flammable solid! Sensitizer! Carcinogen! Mutagen! Irritant! Do not breathe dust. Avoid all
comments
contact with the product. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Use in a chemical fume hood.
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Use non-sparking tools. Handle and open container
with care. Container should be opened only by a technically qualified person.
