The Glo Germ Powder is 100% synthetic Organic Colorant A-594-5 (Blaze Orange or Invisible Blue are the two available colors. The following information applies to both colors). The Glo Germ Powder is not diluted with any inert material. Therefore it is highly concentrated. The plastic particles are 5 microns and smaller. When the powder is ‘puffed’ or thrown into the air like dust, it is a lung irritant. The Glo Germ Company strongly recommends minimizing dust or powder in the air.

Section III – Physical Data
| Boiling range: none | Vapor density: non-volatile |
| Evap. rate: non-volatile (Volatiles vol. % = 0, Wgt % = 0) | Liquid density: heavier than water |
| Appearance: colourless powder | Weight per gallon: 11.41 pounds |

Section IV – Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
| Flammability Class: NA | Flash Point: None |
| FLEL: None | UEL: None |
- Extinguishing media: Based on the NFPA guide for class A fires, use dry chemical, water or another suitable extinguishing agent. For large fires, use water spray or fog, thoroughly drenching the burning area.
- Special firefighting procedures: Clear area of personnel. Approach upwind. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
- Unusual fire and
explosion hazards: improper handling may lead to dust cloud formation, which, as
with any organic compound, is an explosion hazard.

Section V – Health Effect Information
- Eye contact: Minimal irritation upon contact.
- Skin contact: Minimal irritation upon contact.
- Inhalation: Similar to nuisance dust. Avoid inhaling.
Section VI – Emergency and First Aid
- Eye contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open.
- Skin contact: Wash with soap and water. Implement good industrial hygiene.
- Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Call a physician. Treat symptoms.
- Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give victim plenty of water. Call a physician.
Section VII – Personal Health Protection
- Eye protection: Glasses or goggles recommended.
- Skin protection: Required only for sensitive individuals.
- Respiratory protection: In the case that levels above OSHA’s PEL are present, use a NIOSH approved respirator.
- Ventilation: General ventilation for comfort conditioning is usually enough to maintain the dust
within the nuisance limit of 5 mg/cu.m.
Section VIII – Reactivity Data
- Stability: Stable
- Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur
- Incompatibility: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers (i.e., chlorine, peroxides, chromate, nitric acid, perchlorates, concentrated oxygen, permanganates) which can generate heat, fires, explosions, and the release of toxic fumes.
- Conditions to avoid: Excessive dust in the vicinity of electrical or other spark generating equipment should be avoided, as should extremely warm temperatures.
- Hazardous
decomposition
products: The fumes and smoke released contain oxides of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen, which
are highly toxic. Do not breath smoke or fumes. Wear suitable protective equipment.
