Health hazards

CORROSIVE. CAUSES SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE. CAUSES SEVERE SKIN BURNS AND EYE DAMAGE. TOXIC IF INHALED. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.

Physical hazards

MAY INTENSIFY FIRE; OXIDIZER. Contact with water slowly liberates irritating and hazardous chlorine containing gases. Contamination with moisture, organic material, or other incompatible chemicals may start a reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases, and possible fire and explosion. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas. Heating over 210 °C (410 °F) can initiate a self-sustaining decomposition which releases large amounts of heat and gas including toxic fumes. When ignited will burn with the evolution of chlorine and equally toxic gases. Do not get water inside container. Wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard. AQUATIC TOXICITY: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Oxidizing Solid - Cat. 2 GHS: CONTACT HAZARD - SKIN: Category 1C - Causes severe skin burns and eye damage GHS: CONTACT HAZARD - EYE: Category 1 - Causes serious eye damage GHS: ACUTE TOXICITY - INHALATION: Category 3 - Toxic if inhaled GHS: ACUTE TOXICITY - ORAL: Category 4 - Harmful if swallowed Not Otherwise Classified • Damp or wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard • Heating over 115 °C (239 °F) may initiate a self-sustaining decomposition which releases large amounts of heat and gas including toxic fumes

Precautionary statements

Do not breathe dusts or mists. Wash skin and contaminated clothing thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Avoid release to the environment. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye, and face protection. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, hot surfaces - No smoking. Keep away from combustible materials. Take precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles, acids, ammonia, bases, floor sweeping compounds, calcium hypochlorite, reducing agents, organic solvents and compounds. - Prevention • Do not breathe dusts or mists • Wash skin and contaminated clothing thoroughly after handling • Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product • Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area • Avoid release to the environment • Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye, and face protection • Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces - No smoking • Keep away from combustible materials • Take precaution to avoid mixing with combustibles, acids, ammonia, bases, floor sweeping compounds, calcium hypochlorite, reducing agents, organic solvents and compounds - Response • IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting • IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell • IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing • IF IN EYES: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or physician • IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower • IF EXPOSED (skin/eye): Immediately call a POISON CENTER OR PHYSICIAN • Specific treatment for skin or eye contact (see First Aid information on product label and/or Section 4 of the SDS) • Wash contaminated clothing before reuse • IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing • IF INHALED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician • Specific treatment if inhaled (see First Aid information on product label and/or Section 4 of the SDS) • Collect spillage • In case of fire: Use flooding with copious amounts of water to extinguish. Do not use ABC fire extinguishers. Do not use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, or halogenated extinguishing agents - Storage • Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed • Store in a secure manner - Disposal • Dispose of contents and container in accordance with applicable local, regional, national, and/or international regulations

Additional information

Do not get water inside container; damp or wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard. Heating over 210 °C (410 °F) can initiate a self-sustaining decomposition which releases large amounts of heat and gas including toxic fumes. This material is corrosive. Use dilution. May cause burns to moist skin if not promptly removed. There is no specific antidote. ********************************************************************************************************************************

2.3 Other hazards

Hazardous to Aquatic Environment (Chronic Hazard): Category 1 - Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects - Damp or wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard - Heating over 115 °C (239 °F) may initiate a self-sustaining decomposition which releases large amounts of heat and gas including toxic fumes - Decomposes at temperatures above 210 °C ( 410 °F ) with liberation of harmful gases - Contact with acids liberates toxic gas (HNOC)-Health • Contact with acids liberates toxic gas • Damp or wet material may generate hazardous and toxic gases • Contact with water slowly liberates irritating and hazardous chlorine containing gases • Heating over 115 °C (239 °F) may initiate a self-sustaining decomposition which releases large amounts of heat and gas including toxic fumes • Decomposes at temperatures above 210 °C ( 410 °F ) with liberation of harmful gases See Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
