Section III: Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
White powder with a clean (detergent) fragrance. Causes severe eye and skin irritation.
May cause respiratory irritation and lung injury. May be harmful if swallowed. Contact
with eyes may cause burns and eye injury. Contact with acid may liberate (release)
poisonous gas. For large spills emergency responders should wear chemical resistant
gloves, safety goggles, and respiratory protection if dust is formed. Do not breathe dust.
To avoid foaming problems, do not use water to flush away spills. Vacuum or sweep up
material and transfer to a suitable container for reuse or disposal. See Sections III, VI and
XIII.
Potential Health Effects and Primary Routes of Entry:
Eyes: A severe eye irritant. Eye contact may cause severe irritation, pain, excess
blinking, and tear production, redness, swelling, and chemical burns of the eyes. May
cause permanent eye damage including corneal clouding. Later, cataract formation may
occur.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory
system and may cause nasal discomfort and discharges, chest pain, sneezing, and
coughing. Product contains a surfactant to minimize likelihood of overexposure to
harmful dusts.
Skin: Skin contact may cause severe irritation, redness, and pain. Prolonged or repeated
contact with skin may remove skin oils leaving skin unprotected and may cause chemical
burns.
Ingestion: Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and burns,
especially to the esophagus. Ingestion of large amounts may also injure the mouth, throat,
and gastrointestinal tract and may be fatal.
Chronic Effects/ Carcinogenicity: None of the components in this product at
concentrations of 0.1% or greater are listed by the NTP, IARC or OSHA as carcinogens.
This product contains calcium carbonate (limestone). Prolonged inhalation of limestone
dusts in excess of exposure limits may increase the risk of developing pneumoconiosis
(lung damage). This product contains a liquid surfactant, which reduces the likelihood of
harmful exposures to limestone dusts during normal use.
For complete discussion of the toxicology data from which this evaluation was made,
please refer to Section XI.
Section IV: First Aid
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 20 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention. Eyelids should be held away from the eyeballs to ensure thorough
rinsing.
3
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and
shoes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Launder clothing before
reuse.
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air, administer artificial respiration if not breathing.
Give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Trained person should give oxygen if breathing is
difficult. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. If victim is
fully conscious, give plenty of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear and give more water.
Contact Carolina Medical Poison Control Center at 1-800-848-6946 (24 hr.) for advice.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated By Exposure: Individuals with pre-existing
lung diseases, asthma, and abrasions of the skin may be more susceptible to the effects of
excessive exposure to this product.
Section V: Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point: Not applicable
Flammable Limits: Not applicable
Extinguishing Media: If this product is involved in a fire, use extinguishing agent that is
appropriate for combustibles in the area.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: Excessive heat above 170 deg C will produce oxygen and
toxic chlorine gas. When heated to decomposition, the product can emit carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxides of sodium, phosphorous, and calcium. Surfactant
can thermally decompose at temperatures above 250 deg C.
Fire-Fighting Equipment: Exposed firefighters should wear NIOSH approved self-
contained breathing apparatuses under positive pressure and chemical-resistant protective
equipment. Refer to Section VIII for further information.
Section VI: Accidental Release Measures
Cleanup personnel should wear appropriate equipment such as rubber gloves, tight fitting
safety goggles, and respiratory protection if dust is formed (See Section VIII). Vacuum or
sweep up material and transfer to a suitable container for reuse or disposal. Avoid
creating dusts or mists. To avoid foaming problems, do not use water to flush away spills.
Forms alkaline solution upon contact with water. Dispose of waste properly (See Section
XIII).
Contact CHEMTREC (800-424-9300) for technical advice and assistance relating to
chemical emergencies involving this product.

Section VII: Handling and Storage
Handling: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Use with
adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing
and launder before reuse. Empty containers may contain residue, which is hazardous. Do
not mix this product with acids or other cleaning agent. Forms alkaline solution with
water that may cause eye and skin irritation. Avoid eye and skin contact with the cleaning
solution.
Storage: Keep containers in a dry area and closed when not in use. Keep in sealed
containers to avoid caking. Keep away from acids. Caution: Floors wetted with this
material and water may be slippery. For institutional use only. Keep this and all
chemicals out of reach of children.
Section VIII: Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required in well-ventilated area. A NIOSH
approved dust respirator may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations of dust are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection by air purifying
respirators is limited. Use NIOSH approved self-contained apparatus made for
emergencies or entry into unknown concentrations or immediately dangerous to life or
health conditions. All personal respiratory protection equipment should be used in
accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation: Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust ventilation) to
maintain dust concentrations below exposure limits.
Protective Gloves: Use chemical-resistant rubber gloves to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Avoid eye contact. Chemical splash goggles are recommended
whenever eye or face eye contact may occur. Provide an ANSI-approved eye wash
station in the work area.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear arm protectors and aprons, if
necessary, to avoid contaminating regular clothing and shoes and to prevent skin contact.

Section XII: Ecological Information
Ecotoxicological information.
Not available for product. A large spill might be detrimental to aquatic life and
may be toxic to aquatic plants due to its alkalinity.
Aquatic toxicity data:
Trisodium Phosphate Dodecahydrate: 96 H EC50, Daphna Magna: 126 mg/L.
96 H EC50, Mosquitofish: 151 mg/L, practically nontoxic.
Calcium Carbonate: 48 H LC50, Mosquito fish: 56,000 mg/L.
Calcium Hypochlorite: 96 H LC50 Bluegill: 0.088 mg/L, extremely toxic.
Product may be dangerous if it enters water intakes. Keep product out of water
intakes and public sewer systems.
Chemical Fate Information:
No information available for product. Chlorine, if released from the product in
surface waters, is an oxidant that will quickly be reduced to chloride by organics
in the water. Alkalinity of product will be neutralized if it mixes with large
volumes of water. Phosphate compounds in soil and surface waters may be taken
up by plants as essential nutrients and may cause eutrophication and algae blooms
in surface waters. Calcium carbonate is practically insoluble in water.
Section XIII: Disposal Consideration
Waste Disposal: Any disposal must be in accordance with federal, state, and local
regulations. Do not discharge product to storm sewers or waterways. Dilute (used)
detergent solutions may typically be discharged to local wastewater treatment facilities.
As with any wastewater, consultation with local treatment plant staff is recommended
before disposal. Concentrated product should be recovered for reuse. The unused product
is not expected to be a RCRA hazardous waste.
