RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION STORAGEANDHANDLINGFire:As with most organic solids, fire is possible at elevated

temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.Explosion:Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and inthe presence of an ignition source is a potential dustexplosion hazard. For Acetaminophen: MaximumExplosionPressure Pm(bar): 8.7; MaximumRate of Pressure RisedP/dt (bar/s): 843; Kst (bar.m/s): 229; MinimumIgnitionEnergy (mJ): 5-10; MinimumIgnition Temperature C (DustCloud): 590; Minimum Ignition Temperature C (Dust Layer): >400; Limiting Oxygen Concentration (%): 10-11; MinimumExplosible Concentration (g/m3): 50-60; Volume Resistivity-Ambient R.H. (ohm.m): > 1014; Volume Resistivity-Low R.H.(ohm.m): > 1014; Charge Decay Time-Ambient (hours): 1.4;Charge Decay Time-Low (hours): 5.5;

Fire Extinguishing Media:Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.Special Information:In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with fullfacepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positivepressure mode.

Keep in a well enclosed container stored in a cool, dryplace. Acetaminophen is capable of generating a static

electrical charge. If process involves dumpingAcetaminophen into flammable liquid, provide inertatmosphere in vessels or maintain flammable liquidbelow its flashpoint. Containers of this material may behazardous when empty since they retain productresidues (dust, solids); observe all warnings andprecautions listed for the product.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Stability:Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.Hazardous Decomposition Products:In the presence of heat and water, substance will hydrolyze

into acetic acid and p-aminophenol. Burning may producecarbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides.Hazardous Polymerization:Will not occur.Incompatibilities:No information found.Conditions to Avoid:No information found.

Acetaminophen: Oral rat LD50: 2404 mg/kg;investigated as a mutagen, tumorigen, reproductiveeffector

ECOLOGICINFORMATIONEnvironmental Fate:No information found.

Environmental Toxicity:No information found.Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling shouldbe managed in an appropriate and approved waste disposalfacility. Processing, use or contamination of this product maychange the waste management options. State and localdisposal regulations may differ from federal disposalregulations. Dispose of container and unused contents inaccordance with federal, state and local requirements.
