Skin This product is corrosive to skin. The acute dermal toxicity of this product is
greater than 1000 mg/kg. This product is not toxic by skin absorption. This
product did not induce skin sensitization in an animal study. This product is
unlikely to induce skin sensitization in humans.
Ingestion The acute oral toxicity of this material is between 50 and 500 mg/kg. Relative
to other materials, this material is classified as moderately toxic by ingestion.
Inhalation Particulates of this material will probably irritate eyes, nose, and respiratory
passages.
SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation
Remove victim to fresh air. If a cough or other respiratory symptoms develop, consult medical

Remove contaminated clothing and footwear while under a safety shower. Wash off of skin with
plenty of soap and water. Get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and decontaminate
footwear before reuse.
Eye contact
Immediately flush the eyes with large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Hold
the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eye and lids with
water. Do not attempt to neutralize with chemical agents. Obtain medical attention as soon as
possible. Oils or ointments should not be used at this time. Continue the flushing for an additional 15
minutes if a physician is not immediately available.

This oxidizer is not flammable in itself but will intensify a fire by yielding oxygen. Extinguish small fires
using water sprays. For large fires, use massive quantities of water to dilute the burning material.
Use water sprays to cool fire-exposed containers. Do not use dry chemical or foam extinguishers on
the oxidizer as they may react with it or leave reactive residues. Do not put water onto
hot/decomposing material contained in vessels.
Specific hazards during fire fighting
Oxidizer. May be capable of initiating and supporting a fire in surrounding combustibles.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece and protective clothing if involved in a fire of
other materials.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
