First Aid

For a minor burn, apply a burn ointment. For a severe burn, immerse the burned area in

ice water at once and see a physician as quickly as possible. In the unlikely event of oral

ingestionofthepropellant,inducevomitingandseeaphysicianasquicklyaspossible.The

AeroTech reload delay kit pyrotechnic components consists primarily of ammonium

perchlorate and a rubber-like plastic elastomer.

Disposal

Damaged or defective reload delay kits should be returned to AeroTech.

Fire Safety

Tests show that the pyrotechnic components of RMS™ reload delay kits will not explode

in fires and normally will not ignite unless subjected to direct flame and then will burn

slowly. Use water to fight any fires in whichAeroTech RMS™ reload delay kit pyrotechnic

componentsmay become involved: Direct the water at theAeroTech RMS™ reload delay

kit pyrotechnic components to keep them below their 550 deg. F autoignition tempera-

ture. Foam and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers will NOT extinguish burning propellants

of the type used in RMS™ reload delay kit pyrotechnic components. Keep reload delay

kit pyrotechnic components away from flames, sources of heat and flammable materials.
