Fire And Explosion Hazards
This product contains an ingredient (calcium hypochlorite) which is both a strong oxidizer and is chemically reactive
with many substances. Strong oxidizers are capable of intensifying a fore once started. Because of this, any
contamination of the product with other substances by spill or otherwise should be avoided. Product is not known to
be flammable, combustible or pyrophoric., NFPA Oxidizer Class: Meets the criteria of an NFPA Class 1 Oxidizer.
Extinguishing Media
Water only. Do not use dry extinguishers containing ammonium compounds.
Fire Fighting Instructions
Use water to cool containers exposed to fire.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Protection: Response to a large quantity spill (100 pounds or greater) or when dusting or decomposition gas
exposure could occur requires the use of a positive pressure full face supplied air respirator or self contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA), chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and boots. In case of fire, the personal protective equipment should
be used in addition to normal fire fighter equipment.
Air Release: Vapors may be supressed by the use of water fog. All water utilized to assist in fume supression,
decontamination or fire suppression may be contaminated and must be contained before disposal and/or treatment.
Water Release: This product is heavier than water. This material is soluble in water. Monitor all exit water for available
chlorine and pH. Advise local authorities an any contaminated water release.
Land release: DANGER: All spills of this product should be treated as contaminated. Contaminated product may initiate a
chemical reaction that may spontaneously ignite any combustible material present, resulting in a fire of great intensity. In
case of a spill, separate all spilled product from packaging, debris and other material. Using a clean broom or shovel, place
all spilled product into plastic bags, and place those bags into a clean, dry disposal container, properly marked and
labeled. Disposal containers made of pastic or metal are recommended. Do not seal disposal containers tightly.
Immediately remove all product in disposal containers to an isolated area outdoors. Place all damaged packaging material
in a disposal container of water to assure decontamination (i.e. removal of all product) before disposal. Place all
undamaged packaging ina clean, dry container properly marked and labeled. Call for disposal procedures.
Additional Information: Hazardous concentrations in air may be found in local spill area and immediately downwind.
Remove all sources of ignition. Stop source of spill as soon as possible and notify appropriate personnel. This material
may be neutralized for disposal.

Handling & Storage (Pictograms)
7. Handling And Storage
Handling Precautions
Avoid inhalation of dust and fumes. Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Upon
contact with skin or eyes, wash off with water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Storage Precautions
Keep product tightly sealed in original containers. Store product in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from
combustible or flammable products. Keep product packaging clean and free of all contamination, including, e.g.
other pool treatment products, acids, organic materials, nitrogen-containing compounds, dry powder fire
extinguishers (containing mono-ammonium phosphate), oxidizers, all corrosive liquids, flammable or combustible
materials, etc.
Shelf Life Limitations: Shelf life (that is, the period of time before the product goes below stated label strength) is
determined by storage time and temperatures. Do not store product at temperatures above 52 degrees C. Storage above
this temperature may result in rapid decomposition, evolution of chlorine gas and heat sufficient to ignite combustible
products. When stored under moderate temperature conditions, product will maintain stated label strength for
approximately 2 years. Prolonged storage at 35 degrees C or above will significantly shorten the shelf life. Storage in a
climate-controlled storage area or building is recommended in those areas where extremes of high temperature occur.
In the event that the calcium hypochlorite were to separate from the blend, storage above this temperature (52C) may result
in rapid decomposition, evolution of chlorine gas and heat sufficient to ignite combustible products. Also, the magensium
sulfate heptahydrate will begin to lose water of crystallization at approximately 150 degrees C; Should all the water of
crystallization be lost, the liklihood of rapid decomposition occurring, as above, would be increased.
NFPA Oxidizer Class: Meets the criteria of an NFPA Class 1 Oxidizer.
Protective Clothing (Pictograms)
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Use local exhaust ventilation to minimize dust and chlorine level where industrial use occurs. Otherwise ensure
good ventilation.
Eye/Face Protection
Use safety glasses with side shields. Where industrial use occurs, chemical goggles may be required.
Skin Protection
Wear impervious gloves to avoid skin contact. Where industrial use occurs, full impermeable suit may be required.

Inhalation LC50 - 4 hour (extrapolated from inhalation toxicity studies using calcium hypochlorite) >0.51 mg/l Rat
Subchronic (Target Organ Effects)
There are no known or reported effects from repeated exposure except those secondary to burns.
Chronic/Carcinogenicity
This product is not known or reported to be carcinogenic by any reference source including IARC, OSHA, NTP, or
EPA. One hundred mice were exposed dermally 3 times a week for 18 months to a solution of calcium hypochlorite.
Histopathological examination failed to show an increased incidence of tumors. IARC (International Agency for
Research on Cancer) reviewed studies conducted with several hypochlorite salts. IARC has classified hypochlorite
salts as having inadequate evidence for carcinogenity to humans and animals. IARC therefore considers
hypochlorite salts to be not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3 Substance).
Reproductive Effects
Calcium hypochlorite has been tested for tertogenicity in laboratory animals. Results of this study have shown that
calcium hypochlorite is not a tertogen.
Mutagenicity (Genetic Effects)
Calcium hypochlorite has been tested in the Dominant lethal assay in male mice, and it did not induce a dominant
lethal response. Calcium hypochlorite has been reported to produce mutagenic activity in two in vitro assays. It
has, however, been shown to lack the capability to produce mutations in animals based on results from the
micronucleus assay. In vitro assays frequently are inappropriate to judge the mutagenic potential of bactericidal
chemicals due to a high degree to cellular toxicity. The concentration which produces mutations in these in vitro
assays is significantly greater than the concentrations used for disinfection. Based on high cellular toxicity in in vitro
assays and the lack of mutagenicity in animals, the risk of genetic damage to humans is judged not significant.
