IV.SPECIAL HANDLING AND WORKER PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND FIELD APPLICATION
1.Flammability:
INIPOL EAP 22 is non-flammable.
2.Ventilation:
Ventilation of the work place is not necessary.
3.Skin and eye contact; protective clothing; treatment in case of contact:
In case of contact with skin or eyes, wash with plenty of water.
4.a.Maximum storage temperature: 122 F
4.b.Minimum storage temperature: 52 F
4.c.Optimum storage temperature range: 55 F-65 F
4.d.Temperatures of phase separations: <52 F and >122 F

V.SHELF LIFE
The recommended shelf life is one year. However, if the product is stored indoors within the optimum temperature range, this shelf life can be extended. For instance, the shelf life can reach 400 days if the product is stored at 60o F. On the contrary, if the storage temperature is higher than the optimum range, the shelf life will decrease. At 86o F the shelf life will be only 100 days.

VI.RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1.Application Method:
Application of INIPOL EAP 22 can be made by using any spreading system, including typical spreading systems for marine dispersants. It can be sprayed from airplanes, helicopters, or ships equipped with spray racks. It can also be sprayed with firehose nozzles or any other means allowing product spreading.
2.Concentration/Application Rate:
The application rate is 10% based on amount of oil, i.e., 26 gallons per ton of oil.
3.Conditions for Use:
INIPOL EAP 22 should be used in sea waters with temperatures above 52 F. It is effective on weathered oils and is recommended for shore cleanup.

VII. a.EFFECTIVENESS
Bioremediation Agent Effectiveness Test (40 CFR 300.900), Federal Register September 15, 1994:
Summary Data Table

Results of Gravimetric Analysis
Percentage (%) Decrease in Weight of Oil on Day 28
Control: -6.41%
Nutrient: 50.91%
Product (INIPOL EAP 22): 49.95%

b.TOXICITY

NOTE: This toxicity data was derived using the concentrated product. See Section VI of this bulletin for information regarding the manufacturer's recommendations for concentrations and application rates for field use.

VIII.MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
In the presence of crude oil treated by INIPOL EAP 22, a considerable growth of the heterotrophic microflora can be observed; the number of bacteria increases from 1,000 per ml. to 1,000,000 per ml. This activity remains constant during the whole test period, while crude oil, just by its presence, creates a fall in the metabolic activities.

IX.PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
1.Flash Point: > 212 F
2.Pour Point: 52 F
3.Viscosity: 34 Furol sec at 72F
(250 cPo at 68F)
4.Specific Gravity: 0.996
5.Density: 8.32 lb/gal
6.pH of 10% Solution: 7.0
7.Solubility:
in sea water - dispersible
in raw water - dispersible
in hydrocarbons - soluble

X.ANALYSIS FOR HEAVY METALS, CYANIDE, AND CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS
INIPOL EAP 22 is a microemulsion containing nitrogen and phosphorus *** compounds in assimilated form. It does not contain any heavy metal, cyanide or chlorinated hydrocarbons.
