2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
鈥? Clear liquid with a sharp, pungent, vinegar-like odor.
鈥? Oxidizer.
鈥? Stabilized peracetic acid, an ingredient in this product, decomposes under fire conditions to release
oxygen that intensifies the fire.
鈥? Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool.
鈥? Severely irritating to skin and eyes.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: Liquid and mist are corrosive (causing burns); direct
contact could cause irreversible damage to eyes including blindness and/or irreversible destruction of skin
tissue. Vapor/mist will irritate nose, throat and lungs but will usually subside when exposure ceases.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids
intermittently. See a medical doctor immediately.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly wash with soap and water. If irritation occurs and
persists, contact a medical doctor.
INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Dilute by giving 1 or 2 glasses of water. Do not induce
vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing discomfort occurs and persists, see a medical
doctor. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration and see a medical doctor immediately.
NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: This product can be corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. Consideration should be given to careful endoscopy as stomach or esophageal burns,
perforations or strictures may occur. Careful gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in place should be
considered. Observation may be warranted. Treatment is controlled removal of exposure followed by
symptomatic and supportive care.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Extinguish fire using agents suitable for nearby fires.
Page 2 of 12
Peradigm鈩? Algicide & Fungicide (79-21-0-18) Date: 03/25/2004
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Oxygen that can initiate or promote combustion.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use flooding quantities of water only. Use water spray
to keep fire exposed containers cool. Fight fire from protected location or maximum distance. Chemical
type extinguishers are not effective with peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide, which are ingredients in this
product. Use proper personal protective equipment and positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not available
SENSITIVITY TO IMPACT: Not available
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: Not available
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Approach release from upwind. Stop or control leak using special protective
clothing and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Control run off and isolate discharged
material for proper disposal. Do not allow undiluted material to enter storm or sanitary sewer systems.
Combustible materials exposed to hydrogen peroxide, an ingredient in this product, should be immediately
submerged in, or rinsed with, large amounts of water to ensure that all hydrogen peroxide is removed.
Residual hydrogen peroxide that is allowed to dry (upon evaporation hydrogen peroxide can concentrate)
on organic materials such as paper, fabrics, cotton, leather, wood or other combustibles can cause the
material to ignite and result in a fire.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Transfer product from drums to process in closed system (hermetically) and if not
possible use effective local exhaust ventilation. Empty drum as thoroughly as possible. Triple rinse before
disposal. Avoid contamination; impurities accelerate decomposition. Never return product to original
container. Use airless spray to minimize mist generation.
STORAGE: Do not store near reducing agents, fuels or other non-compatible materials. Store in a
cool, dry, well ventilated area. For quality purposes, avoid temperatures above 86潞 F. Higher temperatures
will accelerate decomposition resulting in a loss of assay. Do not store in direct sunlight, or near sources of
ignition or heat. Do not double stack. Use first in, first out storage system. Containers must be vented.
Expected shelf life - 1 year.
COMMENTS: VENTILATION: Provide mechanical local exhaust ventilation to prevent release of
mist into the work area. If ventilation is inadequate or not available use acid gas cartridge or canister with
full face-piece.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMITS
Chemical Name ACGIH OSHA Supplier
Hydrogen Peroxide 1 ppm (TWA) 1 ppm (PEL)
Acetic Acid 15 ppm (STEL) 10 ppm (PEL)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide mechanical local exhaust ventilation to prevent
release of mist into the work area. If release is expected use respiratory protection.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE: Use cup type chemical goggles. Full face shield may be used.
RESPIRATORY: Use approved acid/gas cartridge or canister with full face-piece unless
break-through occurs, then use airline supplied or self contained breathing apparatus with full face-
piece.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Aluminized fiberglass flame-retardant full protective
clothing. Rubberized steel toe safety boots. Hydrogen peroxide is an ingredient in this product;
completely submerge hydrogen peroxide contaminated clothing or other materials in water prior to
drying. Residual hydrogen peroxide, if allowed to dry on materials such as paper, fabrics, cotton,
leather, wood or other combustibles can cause the material to ignite and result in a fire.
GLOVES: Heavy rubber gloves. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water
prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.
