Health hazards

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

Physical hazards

MAY INTENSIFY FIRE; OXIDIZER. Contact with water 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. Products exceeding 225 °C ( 437 °F ) will decompose with liberation of toxic gases and possible fire and explosion. When ignited will burn with the evolution of chlorine and equally toxic gases. Do not get water inside container. Wet or damp material may generate large quantities of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) in a short period of time, an explosive chemical with lachrymatory vapors. AQUATIC TOXICITY: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Oxidizing Solid - Category 2 - May intensify fire; oxidizer 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 2 - Fatal if inhaled GHS: ACUTE TOXICITY - ORAL: Category 4 - Harmful if swallowed Not Otherwise Classified • Reacts in contact with water to evolve nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard • Wet or damp material may generate large quantities of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) in a short period of time, an explosive chemical with lachrymatory vapors • Products exceeding 225 °C ( 437 °F ) will decompose with liberation of toxic gases and possible fire and explosion • NFPA Class 1 Oxidizer (An oxidizer that does not moderately increase the burning rate of combustible materials with which it comes into contact)

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. In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respiratory protection. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye, and face protection. Avoid release to the environment. 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 • Keep away from heat • 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 • 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 • Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye, and face protection • In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respiratory protection • Avoid release to the environment - Response • IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting • IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell • IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing • IF INHALED: Immediately call a POISON CENTER OR PHYSICIAN • Specific treatment is urgent if inhaled (see First Aid information on product label and/or Section 4 of the SDS) • IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower • Wash contaminated clothing before reuse • IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing • 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) • 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 • Collect spillage - 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. This material is corrosive and an oxidizer. May cause burns to moist skin if not promptly removed. There is no specific antidote. To treat contacted tissue, flush with water to dilute. ********************************************************************************************************************************
