5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

GENERAL HAZARD: This product should not be exposed to external heat sources. Excessive heat may cause decompostion with the potential
evolution of heat and noxious gases.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water Fog

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: If allowed to reach temperatures resulting in decomposition and/or combustion, this product
will liberate noxious chlorine gases.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Oxidizer Test Results:
This product was not classified as an oxidizer when tested by the UN Oxidizer Test 0.1. This same procedure is used by the U.S. Department
of Transportation to evaluate potential oxidizers (Oxidizer Test, Section 173, Appendix F of the Code of Federal Regulations).

Fire Resistance Test Results:
This product was exposed to a medium size fire and did not increase the fire's heat release rate as is the case with a typical Class 1 and Class 2
oxidizer. The low temperatures observed during this product's burn, as compared to the wood crib alone, show that this product does not
increase the burning rate. When packaged, this product has the combustion properties of its packaging materials and does not accelerate or
increase the rate of burning of typical packaging/shipping materials such as wood, corrugated paper and plastic bags. In this study, 38 pounds of
this product were place on top of a 50 pound wooden crib that was ignited with gasoline saturated cotton.

Large Scale Burn Study:
A large-scale burn study with this product (864 lb / 393 kg), at an independent laboratory, resulted in the conclusion that the behavior of this
products was consistent with the behavior of an ordinary combustible. Appropriate fire fighter safety precautions should be followed, including
use of SCBA, to prevent exposure to smoke due to presence of chlorine species. This study was performed in an environment that models retail
space and sprinkler protection with a second product in the set.

Class 4.1 Flammable Solid Test Results:
This product does not maintain ignition when exposed to a gas burner under the conditions on the UN Class 4.1 Preliminary Screen Test and
thus is not considered a Division 4.1 Flammable Solid. As a result of these favorable results, a UN Class 4.1 Burn Rate Test is not required.

Class 4.2 Self-Heating Test Results:
This product was tested under the Guidelines for the Classification and Packing Group Assignment (49 CFR Part 173 Appendix E, 1992) for
Division 4.2 Self Heating Oven Test. The temperature of this product did not exceed the 200C oven temperature during the 24 hour test and did
not self ignite.

Class 4.3 Dangerous When Wet Test Results:
This product was tested under the Guidelines for the Classification and Packing Group Assignment (49 CFR Part 173 Appendix E, 1992) for
Division 4.3 鈥淒angerous when Wet鈥? classification. This product did not evolve significant quantities of gas and did not spontaneously ignite
during any of the tests performed with distilled water. The quantity of gas evolved from 2.5 g of product over a 72-hour period was less than 10
cm3.

Dust Explositivity:
This product does not pose a dust explosion risk based on the Hartmann Dust Explodibility Bomb Test designed by the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
In addition, this product is not sensitive to impact based on the Drop Weight Test method.

EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This product does not pose an immediate explosion hazard.
Aqua Clear Easy Shock Page 3 of 6

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Throughly
decontaminate fire fighting equipment including all fire fighting wearing apparel after the incident.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: In the event of a decomposition and/or fire, extinquished material should be isolated. Any
spilled material from burned or damaged containers should be assumed contaminated. Neutralize contaminated material to a non-oxidizing state
for safe handling and disposal. To minimize unforeseen pressure buildup, do not attempt to re-close (seal) damaged containers of product.


6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SMALL SPILL: For small spills, scoop up and place product in pool or spa water, then flood spilled area with large volumes of water.

GENERAL PROCEDURES: STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Using appropriate protective
clothing and safety equipment, contain spilled material. Do not add water to spilled material. Using clean dedicated equipment, sweep and
scoop all spilled material, contaminated soil, and other contaminated material and place into clean dry containers for disposal. Do not use floor
sweeping compounds to clean up spills. Do not close containers containing wet or damp material. They should be left open to disperse any
hazardous gases that may form. Do not transport wet or damp material. Keep product out of sewers, watersheds and water systems. Dispose
of according to local, state and federal regulations.


7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING: This product contains OXIDIZING AGENTS. Do not mix with other chemicals or allow this product to become contaminated
with organic materials or other chemicals that could lead to product decomposition and/or fire. Mix only with water. Never add water to this
