| 1. PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION |  |
SYNONYMS:
QR FOR CUTS AND LACERATIONS, QR FOR NOSEBLEEDS, SPORTS QR, NOSEBLEED QR,
KIDS QR, URGENT QR, POWDER TO STOP BLEEDING BY BIOLIFE LLC
MOLECULAR WEIGHT: N/A - IT IS A MIXTURE OF 2 COMPONENTS.
APPEARANCE:
THE POWDER IS DISTRIBUTED IN INDIVIDUAL PEEL TO OPEN TEAR DROP SHAPED
BLISTER PACKS. IT MAY ALSO BE DISTRIBUTED PACKAGED IN OR WITH AN
APPLICATOR.
| 2. IDENTIFICATION OF COMPONENTS | |
IDENTIFICATION PERCENT BY WT
POTASSIUM SALT 5 TO 20
ION EXCHANGE RESIN 80 TO 95
| 3. HAZARD INFORMATION | |
HEALTH RATING 1
FLAMMABILITY RATING 0
REACTIVITY RATING 2
PERSONAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED EYE PROTECTION, DUST MASK, GOWNING
A REACTIVITY RATING OF 2 IS DUE TO THE POWDER'S FRICTION BASED EXOTHERMIC
ABSORPTION OF WATER. THICKER LIQUIDS, SUCH AS BLOOD, ABSORB MORE SLOWLY
THUS REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF HEAT GENERATED. LARGE QUANTITIES OF POWDER WILL
GENERATE CONSIDERABLE HEAT WHEN MIXED WITH WATER.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION: THE POWDER IS A RESPIRATORY IRRITANT.
INGESTION:
THE MAJOR CONCERN WITH INGESTION IS IRON ABSORPTION BY THE PERSON. THE
POLYMER WILL PASS THRU THE DIGESTIVE TRACK.
SKIN CONTACT:
THE DRY POWDER WILL DEHYDRATE THE SKIN AND MAY REACT EXOTHERMICALLY WITH
ANY MOISTURE ON THE SKIN. (E.G. PERSPIRATION)
EYE CONTACT:
EVEN MINUTE QUANTITIES IN THE AIR ARE AN IRRITANT TO THE EYES AND SHOULD BE
AVOIDED. ACCIDENTAL EYE CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS TO THE EYE,
AND EVEN IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. THE POLYMER PORTION OF THE POWDER IS A SOLID
MATERIAL AND MAY SCRATCH OR CONTINUE TO IRRITATE THE SURFACE OF THE EYE.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE: N/D
OTHER:
QR POWDER REACTS EXOTHERMICALLY WHEN EXPOSED TO WATER. THIS COULD RESULT IN
A PHYSICAL BURN.
APPLICATION OF THE POWDER TO AN EXPOSED DRY WOUND WILL RESULT IN A STINGING
SENSATION, BECAUSE OF THE SALT PORTION OF THE POWDER.
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION:
REMOVE THE PERSON TO FRESH AIR.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.
INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.
EYE CONTACT:
MOVE VERY QUICKLY AND FLUSH THE EYE WITH RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. BE SURE TO WASH UNDER THE EYELIDS.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE THE DRY POWDER FROM THE SKIN WITH A BRUSH OR VACUUM. THEN WASH THE
AREA WITH RUNNING WATER, OR A LARGE VOLUME OF WATER.
CAUTION:
USING A SMALL VOLUME OF WATER TO TRY TO REMOVE A LARGE QUANTITY OF POWDER
COULD RESULT IN A BURN, DUE TO THE POWDER'S EXOTHERMIC REACTION WITH
WATER.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.

| 5. FIRE FIGHTING INFORMATION | |
COMBUSTIBILITY:
FLASH POINT: NO FLASH
EXPLOSIVE NATURE:
EXPLOSIVE LIMITS: N/D
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
DO NOT USE FOAM OR WATER.
EXTINGUISH FIRES WITH CO2, DRY CHEMICALS, SAND, SODA ASH, OR EVACUATE THE
AREA AND ALLOW THE FIRE TO BURN.
OTHER:
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
WEAR APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. REMOVE SOURCES OF IGNITION,
AND VENTILATE THE AREA. PICK UP MATERIAL IN A WAY TO AVOID CREATING DUST
AND DISPOSE IN AN APPROPRIATE CONTAINER. PROPERLY REPORT ANY SPILLS THAT
MAY BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN.
DISPOSAL OF THE MATERIAL IS TO BE CONDUCTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
KEEP THE PACKAGES IN A COOL DRY ENVIRONMENT. IF THE POWDER IS REMOVED FROM
IT'S PROTECTIVE PACKAGING DISPOSE OF IT BECAUSE IT WILL INACTIVATE ITSELF
BY ABSORBING MOISTURE FROM THE AIR. ONCE THE POWDER GOES FROM THE DARK
BROWN TO THE LIGHT TAN COLOR IT IS NO LONGER USEFUL.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
OSHA PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL): N/D
AGGIH THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV): N/D
VENTILATION:
WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED FACILITY. AVOID CONCENTRATING THE DUST IN A
CONFINED WORK AREA.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: N/A
OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT: N/A
| 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES | |
APPEARANCE: BROWN POWDER
ODOR: NONE
SOLUBILITY: POLYMER PORTION IS INSOLUBLE
DENSITY (G/ML): APPROXIMATELY 1
pH: N/A (SOLID POWDER)
VAPOR PRESSURE (MMHG): N/A (SOLID POWDER)
% VOLATILE BY VOLUME: N/A (SOLID POWDER)
FREEZING POINT: N/A (SOLID POWDER)
MELTING POINT: N/A (SOLID POWDER)
SUBLIMATION POINT:
POLYMER PORTION OF THE POWDER WILL SUBLIMATE AT >300 DEG. C
| 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY | |
STABILITY:
IF THE MATERIAL IS KEPT DRY AND NEAR 25 DEG. C IT IS VERY STABLE. IT WILL
EXOTHERMICALLY REACT WITH WATER AND OTHER LIQUIDS, PRODUCING O2 (G) AS IT
DECOMPOSES.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
THE POLYMER UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WILL NOT DECOMPOSE, BUT THE SALT
DECOMPOSES WHEN WETTED. THERE IS INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TWO SPECIES IN THE
MIXTURE WHEN WETTED. THE BYPRODUCTS ARE POLYMER, IRON OXIDE, AND OXYGEN.
INCOMPATIBILITIES: N/A UNDER DESIGNED USAGES
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: N/A UNDER DESIGNED USAGES
| 11. DISPOSAL MEASURES | |
DISPOSAL OF THE MATERIAL IS TO BE CONDUCTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS.
