IV - FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Flash Point F: None to boiling Flammable Limits: N/A
Extinguishing Media: Water unless contraindicated by other material involved in fire.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures : Do not allow Oxine solutions to evaporate to dryness. If chlorine
dioxide gas is produced, vent atmoshpere. Open or vent any large container of Oxine
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards : The sodium chlorite in dried Oxine is a strong oxidizer, which
supports combustion. Chlorine dioxide, which may evolve from Oxine solutions, is explosive in the
gaseous phase at concentrations greater than 10% by volume. Do not allow chlorine dioxide gas to
accumulate within a confined space
V - REACTIVITY DATA
Stability - Conditions to avoid : Product is Stable. Avoid storing product under conditions in which it could
evaporate to crystalline salt.
Incompatibility: Avoid accidental contact with acids, chlorine compounds, hypochlorites (bleach), sulfer
and sulfite compounds, phosphorus, organic solvents, and combustible/flammable materials
Hazardous Decomposition Products : Exposure to acids or chlorine compounds can produce uncontrolled
generation of chlorine dioxide gas
Conditions Contributing to Hazardous Polymerizations : Does not occur
VI - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (Medical Conditions Aggravated /Target Organ Effects ),
A. ACUTE (Primary Route of Exposure ) INGESTION: Rat Oral LD50: 4.360 mg/Kg. Ingestion may
produce gastric discomfort. nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Intake of large quantities may produce
methemoglobinemia. EYES: Based upon rabbit studies, product has been given an EPA Category III
rating as a mild irritant. Exposure can produce slight irritation of conjunctiva, cornea and eyelid. SKIN:
Based on rabbit studies, product is listed as "practically not an irritant". Prolonged exposure may produce
localized irritation, contact dermatitis, mild erythema and odema. It is highly unlikely to be absorbed
throught the skin in toxic amounts. Rabbit Acute Dermal LD50 > 2,020 mg/Kg. INHALATION: Acute
inhalation: LC50 > 5.61 mg/L. Prolonged inhalation of fog or mist containg Oxine may be irritating to nose
and throat.
B. SUBCHRONIC, CHRONIC, OTHER : May cause localized irritation to areas exposed to product
C. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE : Skin disorder, such as dermal
allergies and dermatitis. Exposure to chlorine dioxide produced by activation can aggravate pulmonary
disorders, such as emphysema
VII - EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
INHALATION: Unactivated Oxine normally has no respiratory effects. If exposure to chlorine dioxide
produced from activation occurs, remove victim to fresh air. Contact a physician if respiratory distress
continues
EYES: Flush eyes thoroughly with water, making certain eyelids are held open. If irritation or burning
persist, seek medical attention
SKIN: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and rinse
thoroughly with water before laundering or discard. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Contact a physician or Poison Control center immediately
VIII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE
Spill Management: Small spills, involving less than 10 gallons, may be flushed to a designated and
permitted sewer system with copious amount of water. Larger spills should be contained and neutralized
with sodium bisulfite or sodium thiosulfate (1.2 lbs neutralizer per each estimated lb. of spilled material) or
disposed of as chemical waste in a manner indicated below. At no time should the spilled material be
allowed to dry to a crystalline salt.
Waste Disposal Methods : Small quantities, less that 10 gallons, may be flushed to an authorized and
designated sewer with copious amount of water.
IX - PROTECTION INFORMATION /CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory: Fogging or spraying applications may require worker respiratory protection such as:
NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirators or NIOSH/MSHA approved canister/cartridge facial
respirators rated for chlorine/acid vapors or specified for chlorine dioxide.
Eye Protection: Use of chemical safety goggles for all applications involving chemical handling Glove:
Rubber, neoprene or other chemically impervious gloves be worn for all applications
Other Clothing and Equipment : Protective clothing to minimize contact (boots, apron, faceshield)
Ventilation: Open air or good room ventilation is normally adequate for safe use of this product. Avoid
breathing vapors or fumes
