Ingredients listed in this section have been determined to be hazardous as defined in 29CFR 1910.1200. Materials
determined to be health hazards are listed if they comprise 1% or more of the composition. Materials identified as
carcinogens are listed if they comprise 0.1% or more of the composition. Information on proprietary materials is available in
29CFR 1910.1200(i)(1).
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Harmful if swallowed.
3. Hazards Identification
Eye Hazards
Severe irritation and/or burns can occur following eye exposure. Contact may cause impairment of vision and corneal
damage.
Skin Hazards
Dermal exposure can cause severe irritation and/or burns characterized by redness, swelling, and scab formation.
Prolonged skin exposure may cause permanent damage.
Ingestion Hazards
Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestines,
characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding and/or tissue ulceration. Ingestion causes
severe damage to the gastrointestinal tract with the potential to cause perforation.

3. Hazards Identification - Continued
Inhalation Hazards
Irritating to the nose, mouth, throat, and lungs. It may also cause burns to the respiratory tract with the production of
lung edema that can result in shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain, and impairment of lung function.
Inhalation of high concentrations can result in permanent lung damage from the corrosive action of the lung.
Signs And Symptoms
Irritation of eyes and respiratory passages.
Conditions Aggravated By Exposure
Asthma, respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
First Aid (Pictograms)
4. First Aid Measures
Eye
Holding the eyelids apart, flush eyes promptly with copious flowing water for at least 20 minutes. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Wash clothing before re-use.
Ingestion
If swallowed, wash mouth thoroughly with plenty of water and give water to drink. Get medical attention immediately.
Never give an unconscious person anything to drink.
Inhalation
In case of dust inhalation or breathing fumes released from heated material, remove person to fresh air. Keep him
quiet and warm. Apply artificial respiration if necessary and get medical attention immediately.
Note To Physician
Corrosive. No specific antidote. Treat symptomatically and supportively. In case of ingestion do not induce vomiting.
Fire Fighting (Pictograms)
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: N/A 掳F
Autoignition Point: N/A 掳F
Fire And Explosion Hazards
When heated to decomposition, may release poisonous and corrosive fumes of nitrogen trichloride, chlorine and
carbon monoxide.
Extinguishing Media
Water. Do not use dry chemical extinguisher containing ammonia compounds.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in positive pressure
mode. Cool containers with water spray. On small fires, use water spray or fog. On large fires, use deluge or fog
streams. Flooding amounts of water may be required before extinguishment can be accomplished.

6. Accidental Release Measures
For small spills in a well-ventilated area, wear a NIOSH approved half-face or full face tight fitting respirator or a losse
fitting powered air purifying respirator equipped with chlorine cartridges. Chemical goggles should be worn when using a
half-face respirator. In addition to respiratory protection, wear coveralls; chemical resistant gloves; chemical resisitant
footwear; and chemical resistant headgear for overhead exposure.
For clean up of large spills, or small dry spills in confined areas, wear full-face respirator with chlorine cartridges or a
positive pressure supplied air respirator. Additionally, body protection should be impervious clothing covering the entire
body to prevent personal contact with material. CAUTION - Protection concerns must also address the following: If this
material becomes damp/wet or contaminated in a container, the formation of nitrogen trichloride gas may occur and an
explosive condition may exist.
After Spill / leakage: Hazardous concentrations in air may be found in local spill area and immediately downwind. If spill
material is still dry, do not put water directly on this product as a gas evolution may occur.
On Soil: Do not contaminate spill material with any organic materials, ammonia, ammonium salts, or urea. Clean up all
spill material with clean, dry dedicated equipment and place in a clean dry container.
On Water: This material is heavier than and soluble in water. Stop flow of material into water as soon as possible. Begin
monitoring for available chlorine and pH immediately.
In Air: Vapors may be supressed by the use of water fog.
7. Handling And Storage
Handling And Storage Precautions
Keep out of reach of children. Store material in a cool and dry place.
Handling Precautions
Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing. Upon contact with skin, eyes, wash off with water.
Storage Precautions
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Do not store at temperatures above
60C/140F. Product has an indefinite shelf-life limitation.
Work/Hygienic Practices
Use safe chemical handling procedures suitable for the hazards presented by this material.
Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Use local exhaust ventilation to minimize dust and chlorine levels where industrial use occurs. Otherwise, ensure
good general ventilation.
Eye/Face Protection
Use chemical safety glasses to avoid eye contact. Where industrial use occurs, chemical goggles maybe required.
Skin Protection
Neoprene gloves. Impervious body covering clothes, boots, and neoprene apron.
Respiratory Protection
When dusty conditions are encountered, wear a NIOSH/OSHA full-face respirator with chlorine cartridges for
protection against chlorine gas and dust/mist pre-filter. A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134
and ANZI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
