------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give
artificial respiration if not breathing. If breathing is difficult, oxygen
should be administered by qualified personnel. If respiration or pulse has
stopped, have a trained person administer Basic Life Support
(Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation/Automatic External Defibrillator) and CALL
FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES IMMEDIATELY.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush contaminated areas with water. Remove
contaminated clothing, jewelry, and shoes immediately. Wash contaminated
areas with soap and water. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing
and shoes before reuse. IF IRRITATION OCCURS, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with a directed stream of water for at
least 15 minutes, forcibly holding eyelids apart to ensure complete
irrigation of all eye and lid tissues. Washing eyes within several seconds
is essential to achieve maximum effectiveness. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
INGESTION: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsive
person. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give water. If vomiting occurs
spontaneously, keep airway clear. Give more water when vomiting stops. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of
gastric lavage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Negligible fire hazard. If heated by outside
source to temperatures above 240 C (464 F), this product will undergo
self-sustaining decomposition with the evolution of heat and dense noxious
gases but no visible flame. Wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride,
an explosion hazard.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Flood with water. Do not use dry chemicals, carbon
dioxide or halogenated extinguishing agents.
Page 2 of 8
FIRE FIGHTING: Consider evacuation of personnel located downwind. Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Move container
from fire area if it can be done without risk. Avoid inhalation of material
or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Wear NIOSH
approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Material
which appears undamaged except for being damp on the outside, should be
opened and inspected immediately. DO NOT attempt to reseal contaminated
drums. Damp material should be neutralized to a non-oxidizing state. Contact
OxyChem for instructions for handling and disposal of damp material.
SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT: Not sensitive
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: Not sensitive
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Thermal decomposition products or combustion: chlorine, nitrogen, nitrogen
trichloride, cyanogen chloride, oxides of carbon, phosgene
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OCCUPATIONAL RELEASE:
Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. DO NOT add
water to spilled materials. DO NOT use floor sweeping compounds to clean up
spills. Sweep and scoop spilled material into clean, dedicated equipment.
Every attempt should be made to avoid mixing spilled material with other
chemicals or debris when cleaning up. DO NOT attempt to reseal contaminated
drums. DO NOT transport wet or damp material. Damp material should be
neutralized to a non-oxidizing state. Contact OxyChem for instructions for
handling and disposal of damp material. Keep out of water supplies and sewers.
Releases should be reported, if required, to appropriate agencies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORAGE: Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and
standards. (NFPA Oxidizer Classification 1.) Do not allow water to get in
container. If liner is present, tie after each use. Keep container tightly
closed and properly labeled. Store containers on pallets. Keep away from food,
drink and animal feed. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
HANDLING: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapors
or dust when opening container. Avoid creation of dust. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Never add water to this product. Always add product to large
quantities of water. Use clean, dry utensils. Do not add the product to any
dispensing device containing residuals of other products.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VENTILATION: Use only in well ventilated areas. Provide local exhaust
ventilation where dust or mist may be generated. Ensure compliance with
applicable exposure limits.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear chemical safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash
fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.
CLOTHING: Wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact. When potential
for contact with dry material exists, wear disposable coveralls such as
Tyvek(R). Contaminated clothing should be removed and laundered before
reuse.
GLOVES: Wear suitable gloves.
PROTECTIVE MATERIAL TYPES: butyl rubber, latex, leather, natural rubber,
neoprene, nitrile, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Tyvek(R)
RESPIRATOR: A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 (dust, fume, mist) filters
may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations
are expected to exceed exposure limits, or when symptoms have been observed
that are indicative of overexposure.
If chlorine is present, an acid gas cartridge is also required.
A half facepiece air-purifying respirator may be used in concentrations up
to 10X the acceptable exposure level and a full facepiece air-purifying
respirator may be used in concentrations up to 50X the acceptable exposure
level.
Supplied air should be used when the level is expected to be above 50X the
acceptable level, or when there is a potential for uncontrolled release.
A respiratory protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant use of a respirator.

LOCAL EFFECTS:
Corrosive: inhalation, skin, eye, ingestion
ACUTE TOXICITY LEVEL:
Moderately Toxic: ingestion
Slightly Toxic: dermal absorption
HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
This material in the form as sold is not expected to produce respiratory
effects. If ground or otherwise in a powdered form, effects similar to a
corrosive substance may occur. May cause severe irritation of the
respiratory tract with coughing, choking, pain and possibly burns of the
mucous membranes.
In some cases, pulmonary edema may develop, either immediately or more
often within a period of 5-72 hours. The symptoms may include tightness in
the chest, dyspnea, frothy sputum, cyanosis, and dizziness. Physical
findings may include moist rales, low blood pressure and high pulse
pressure. Severe cases may be fatal.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Depending on the concentration and duration of exposure, repeated or
prolonged exposure may cause inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the
upper respiratory tract.
Page 5 of 8
SKIN CONTACT:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
Direct contact with wet material or moist skin may cause severe
irritation, pain, and possibly burns. This material is not considered to
be skin sensitizer based on studies with guinea pigs.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Effects depend on concentration and duration of exposure. Repeated or
prolonged contact may result in dermatitis or effects similar to acute
exposure.
EYE CONTACT:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
Direct contact may cause severe irritation, pain and burns, possibly
severe, and permanent damage including blindness. The degree of injury
depends on the concentration and duration of contact.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Effects depend on concentration and duration of exposure. Repeated or
prolonged contact may result in conjunctivitis or effects as in acute
exposure.
INGESTION:
ACUTE EXPOSURE:
May cause immediate pain and severe burns of the mucous membranes. There
may be discoloration of the tissues. Swallowing and speech may be
difficult at first and then almost impossible.
The effects on the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract may range from
irritation to severe corrosion. Edema of the epiglottis and shock may
occur.
CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
Depending on the concentration, repeated ingestion may cause effects as
with acute ingestion.
