First-aid measures
Inhalation:
In the event of inhaling toxic fumes resulting from detonation or combustion, move the affected person away from the area and take them into the open air. Before moving the affected person away, you must make sure the fumes have completely lifted, or if this is not possible, suitable personal protection equipment should be worn (self-contained breathing apparatus, mask with an appropriate filter, etc.).
IMPORTANT: An immediate medical examination is required following any exposure to these toxic fumes. The risk of a pulmonary oedema is a potential after-effect of this exposure.
Contact with eyes: Clean with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, especially under the eyelids. Seek urgent medical attention.
Contact with skin: Clean with plenty of soap and water.
Ingestion: Seek urgent medical attention.
Detonation.
In the event of injuries due to accidental detonation of the product, take the affected person to the nearest hospital.
In the event of injuries due to the impact of aerial projections or landslides, take the affected person to the nearest hospital.
In the event of a cardio-respiratory arrest, immediately proceed to give basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Contact the doctor.
Fire-fighting measures
Fire of the product itself. If the fire is very close, or it is in the product itself, do not attempt to put the fire out. Move away to a safe distance, cut off
the area and warn the authorities. NEVER ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE.
Fire near the product. If the fire is near the product, and if there is no risk of explosion, use an extinguishing agent appropriate for the fire. Use
individual safety gear appropriate to the type of fire.
Accidental release measures
a) Personal precautions.
Avoid any flame or heat source capable of causing sparks. Do not smoke.
Avoid any kind of collision or friction. Do not walk on any spilled product.
Cut off the spillage area.
b) Precautions to protect the environment.
In the event of spillage, the product should not go further than the limits of the factory and/or location where it is used, nor should it come into contact with the natural environment (surface and underground waters, etc) If it goes beyond the limits, the authorities must be notified.
c) Cleaning methods.
Collect the spilled product in watertight containers. Clean up the remaining spilled product with an absorbent material (wood sawdust), using tools that do not provoke sparks.
Place any left over product in a well-ventilated area away from products which are flammable or oxidants, etc. until it is to be destroyed. Destruction should be carried out as per section 13.
Handling and storage
1. Handling:
The presence of Monomethylamine Nitrate crystals make the product more prone to detonation. Handle or transfer the product at temperatures higher than its crystallisation point.
Never handle the product if there are, or it is suspected that there are Nitrate Monomethylamine crystals.
Floors, clothing and shoes used must be anti-static.
Avoid knocks and sudden movements.
Tools used when handling the product must be made of non-ferrous material, such as copper, brass or wood.
Do not smoke.
2. Storage:
Store in premises authorized for these purposes; they should be dry, well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight.
The product must only be stored with materials from permitted compatibility groupings according to transport regulations.
Do not store with flammable products, oxidants or primary explosives.
The product quantities stored must comply with prevailing regulations.
Do not smoke or light a fire in the storage warehouses.
3. Specific uses: The product is used as an explosive raw material in preparing explosives for civil use in quarries, general mining and public works.

Exposure controls / personal protection
1. Exposure limit values.
TLV= Threshold Limit Value; TLV-TWA= Weighted average in time; TLV-STEL= Short term exposure limit; TLV-C= Ceiling value.
Data obtained from the “List of professional exposure environmental limit values”, issued by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, in accordance with what is established in section 3 of article 5 of the RD 39/1997, of January 17th.
Substance TLV-TWA TLV-STEL TLV-C Critical effects on which the TLV is based
Not established.
2. Exposure controls.
2.1. Occupational exposure controls.
a) Respiratory protection: This is not normally necessary in well-ventilated areas. A mask with an appropriate filter must be worn when entering badly ventilated areas after an explosion.
b) Hand protection: Neoprene (Np) / PVC gloves. Do not eat, drink or smoke without first cleaning your hands well.
c) Eye protection: Use goggles to protect against splashes.
d) Skin protection: Anti-static work overalls. Use safety footwear with a conductive sole and reinforced toes.
2.2. Environment exposure controls. Avoid contact with the natural environment and particularly with water. See also section 12 “Ecological Information” of this Safety Datasheet.
- Anion nitrate reference value (NO3-): Maximum level in drinking water: 50 mg / l (European Directive 80/778/CEE and European Directive 98/83/CE).
Stability and reactivity
1. Conditions to avoid. The product is stable under normal storage conditions throughout its useful life. Avoid heat sources. Risk of mass explosion in the event of fire, friction or collision.
2. Materials to avoid. Avoid contact with acids and bases.
3. Hazardous decomposition products.
- Nitrogen monoxide (NO)
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Disposal considerations
Any residue must be destroyed by taking into account the regulations contained in the European Directives 75/442/CEE and 91/689/CEE.
Destruction of explosives should be carried out by specialised personnel, using controlled processes and installations authorised by the competent bodies.
Consult your manufacturer and/or distributor.
