7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: The use of respiratory protection is advised when dust concentrations exceed any
established exposure limits (see Section 8).
Storage: Keep dry. Urea will absorb moisture from air. If storage piles become wet, surrounding
floor may be slippery. Reacts with hypochlorites to form nitrogen trichloride, which explodes
spontaneously in air. Reacts with nitric acid to form urea nitrate that decomposes explosively when heated.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosure, general dilution ventilation, or local exhaust systems, where necessary, to maintain airborne dust concentrations below the OSHA standard.

Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes: No personal protective equipment normally required. If dusting of dry product or splashing of solutions is possible, use chemical safety goggles and/or full-face shield.
Skin: No personal protective equipment normally required. If dusting of dry product or splashing of solutions is possible, wear protective gloves and clothing.
Respiratory: Protection is not normally required. Wear a dust mask or other appropriate respiratory protection during operations that generate airborne dust concentrations exceeding the relevant standards or when effective engineering controls are not feasible . A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.134 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator’s use.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Urea
Rat LD50 = 15 g/kg
Mouse LD50 = 11.5 g/kg
Urea dust at 22 mg/m3 caused mild irritation (species not specified)

In a repeated dose toxicity study, urea at 10%, 20%, and 40% in ointment was applied to the back skin of rats for 4 weeks. No dose-dependent toxicity was observed. There were no consistent treatment-related effects on standard haematological parameters, clinical chemistry, organ weights or organ histopathology, including the testicles, prostate, seminal vesicles, ovaries and the uterus.

In a chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity screening study conducted in mice over 12 months, urea was administered at 0.45%, 0.9%, and 4.5% in the diet. No pathology was reported immediately following treatment period. After 4 months, testes, prostate, and uterus were histologically examined for occurrence of tumors in the survivors. Although there was a statistically increased incidence of interstitial cell adenomas of the testes in the high dose group, its biological significance was deemed questionable, since the lesion may occur in 100% of controls.

In a single oral dose study in mice, 2,000 mg/kg administered on day 10 of pregnancy was not teratogenic. Urea in water was given in 2 doses 12 hours apart by gavage to rats during pregnancy for 14 days and the dams were allowed to deliver. No hypertrophy or other kidney changes were detected nor were any teratogenic effects noted. Urea caused developmental effects in chick embryos when injected into eggs.

Urea was negative in tests of bacterial mutagenicity and demonstrated low clastogenic potential in non-bacterial mutagenicity tests. Chromosome breakage has been observed in some laboratory tests using extremely high concentrations of urea. At near lethal doses, urea was mutagenic in invivo non-bacterial tests in mice.

Urea is not recognized as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.

Biuret
Oral rat LD50 > 5 g/kg
Dermal rat LD50 > 2 g/kg

Biuret is not recognized as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Urea can be toxic to domestic animals and has caused poisonings when it was applied unevenly on pastures as a fertilizer. Large amounts of urea can damage plant seedlings and inhibit germination. At high concentrations, urea can be toxic to aquatic life. As a readily available source of nitrogen, urea can also foster excessive growth of algae or microorganisms in water systems. Notify local health and wildlife officials and operators of nearby water intakes upon contamination.

Ecotoxicity Information: The cell multiplication toxicity threshold values for bacteria, green algae, and protozoa are >10,000, >10,000, and 29 mg/L, respectively. The critical range for the creek chub is 16,000 to 30,000 mg/L in Detroit river water.

Environmental Fate Information: Particulate-phase urea is physically washed out of the atmosphere by dry and wet deposition. In the soil, urea degrades rapidly, usually within 24 hours; however, degradation may be slower depending on soil type, moisture content, and urea formulation. The ultimate degradation products are carbon dioxide and ammonia. The soil mobility is high based on an organic carbon partition coefficient of 8. In water, biodegradation to carbon dioxide and ammonia is the major fate pathway. The biodegradation rate increases with increasing temperature
and presence of phytoplankton. Oxidation of urea by nitrifying bacteria can increase biological oxygen demand. Bioaccumulation of urea is very low. The 72-hour bioconcentration factor (BCF) for carp is reported to be 1.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Urea is not considered a hazardous waste under Federal Hazardous Waste Regulations 40 CFR 261. Consult local or state environmental regulatory agencies for acceptable disposal procedures and locations. Follow standard disposal procedures.

14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
Urea is not listed as a hazardous material by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Transport Canada (TC), International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the United Nations (UN).

Compare dust control materials by all measures, and liquid calcium chloride is a good start.

No matter what you compare it to, liquid calcium chloride is an excellent choice in dust control agents.

Calcium chloride is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts moisture from the air and its surroundings. This keeps unpaved surfaces damp and dust down. It also resists evaporation so a single application lasts a long time.

Calcium chloride also exhibits a strong moisture film, high surface tension, and low vapor pressure. These characteristics and calcium chloride’s thirst for moisture help bind aggregate particles together. Unpaved surfaces become and remain compacted. Over time, the chemical penetrates the surface several inches, adding a stabilizing effect to reduce frost damage and overall wear. Maintenance costs for a calcium chloride-treated road are much less than untreated roads.

Finally, and very important, when calcium chloride is applied properly, it poses no environmental concerns. After all, liquid calcium chloride is a naturally occurring brine found underground.

Base stabilization with liquid calcium chloride for better quality roads costing less to build and maintain

Perhaps the best indication of liquid calcium chloride to provide high quality, low cost dust control on unpaved road surfaces is its long history as the primary dust control material used to enhance road base stability.

Whether building new roads or rehabilitating old roads (by conventional methods or the full-depth reclamation technique), calcium chloride’s contributions are the same.

• Achieve greater density with less compactive effort, resulting in labor, equipment, and equipment maintenance savings.
• Achieve and maintain optimum moisture content to avoid delays waiting for bases to dry out or for water to be added.
• Calcium chloride extends and controls the curing period which enhances stability.
• Promotes a better bond between the road base and the surface course.
• Provides greater surface uniformity and reduced maintenance during stage construction.
• As little as one half of one percent calcium chloride virtually eliminates frost damage.

ICE BAN® 300
Ice Ban 300 provides the ultimate in an environmentally friendly, performance oriented magnesium chloride product. 300 delivers the proven performance of an organically based corrosion inhibitor with an undetected Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) value helping to significantly reduce eutrophication and algae blooms in sensitive environmental areas such as reservoirs, watersheds and waterways. Perfect for installed bridge deck systems, 300 stays liquid to –67° F to insure that in times of critical need your system will operate efficiently with no appreciable effect on the environment.

As an anti-icer and deicer, 300 provides unparalleled results with a clear, non-staining, non-tracking formula and a very mild odor. With Ice Ban 300 you can rest assured that your level of service will improve, your costs will remain low and your environment will prosper.

ICE BAN® 200
Ice Ban 200 builds upon the performance of Ice Ban 250 with a liquid meeting the standards set by the Pacific Northwest Snowfighters (PNS) Association. Combined with a magnesium chloride base, IB 200 inhibitor results in a golden colored liquid with a eutectic point of –78° F. IB 200 delivers the corrosion inhibition organic products are famous for without any of the recirculation requirements typically encountered. Ice Ban 200 is designed to adapt to all snow fighting systematic approaches; as a PNS Type 1 approved stockpile treatment, pre-wet liquid or direct spray liquid in a formula 91% less corrosive than sodium chloride.

When you need an economical, performance oriented product with the established experience only Ice Ban can deliver, look no further than IB 200; the new gold standard in liquids.

ICE BAN® 250
Ice Ban 250 started the organic inhibitor revolution, culminating with the prestigious Charles M. Pankow award for Innovative Technology from the Civil Engineering Research Foundation.

Ice Ban 250 continues the tradition with an improved all purpose formula designed for all aspects of ice and snow control. IB 250 is a magnesium chloride based product combined with the patented Ice Ban 200 organic inhibitor in a 50/50 blend. IB 250 delivers superior performance as a stockpile treatment, liquid pre-wetter or direct spray liquid with a PNS corrosion value less than that of distilled water, or 113% less corrosive than sodium chloride. With a eutectic point of –25° F, IB 250 delivers an extended working range for all chlorides, in combination with an award winning, naturally derived corrosion inhibitor.

To respond to these concerns we have developed our new Calcium Chloride Nuggets. Not flake, not a pellet, but an egg shaped irregular particle size that provides the boring through ice properties of a pellet and the stay put where it lands properties of a flake; really the best of both worlds!

Packaged in heat sealed water resistant 50 lb. polyethylene bags, this new form of calcium chloride is easy to apply and gets down to the business of melting ice quickly.

Concentrated form packs plenty of melting power into each nugget

Uniquely shaped particle allows the product to bore into ice to get the calcium chloride beneath the problem and break the frozen bond at the surface

The State of Vermont Agency of Transportation recently had their deicer laboratory test our new nuggets and they confirmed that our Calcium Chloride Nuggets are ideally suited for snow-fighting in ice prone regions. Their tests also prove that our new Calcium Chloride Nuggets provide high performance and high strength (95% CaCl2) and a perfect blend of particles that are sized to attack snow and ice without rolling away.

Let us show you how our new Nuggets can benefit your snow and ice management program, and stop watching your pellets roll away from the ice before they start working on it.
