Section 03 - Hazard Identification
Inhalation...................鈥︹?︹?︹??.鈥?.... Inhalation of mist or vapors may be severly irritating to nose, throat, and
lungs.
Skin Contact / Absorption鈥︹??.鈥?... Severe irritant to skin.
Eye Contact................鈥︹?︹?︹??.鈥?.... Corrosive to eyes. May cause irreversible tissue damage to the eyes,
including blindness. May likely cause corneal damage, if not washed
immediately.
Ingestion.....................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??. Severe to gastrointestinal tract. Corrosive to gastrointestinal tract. May be
fatal if swallowed.
Exposure Limits鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??... OSHA/PEL= 1ppm
ACGIH/TWA= 1ppm
Section 04 - First Aid Measures
Inhalation....................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??.. Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration only if breathing has
stopped. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek immediate medical
attention.
Skin Contact / Absorption鈥︹?︹?︹??.. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water.
Seek medical attention if irritation occurs or persists.
Eye Contact..................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹??.... Flush immediately with water for at least 20 minutes. Forcibly hold eyelids
apart to ensure complete irrigation of eye tissue. Seek immediate medical
attention
Ingestion......................鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to prevent
breathing in vomitus. Rinse mouth with 2 glasses of water and dilute by
giving 2 glasses of water to dilute. Do not give anything by mouth to an
unconscious or convulsing person. Seek immediate medical attention.
Additional Information.....鈥︹?︹?︹??... Notes to physician: Direct contact with the eye is likely to cause corneal
damage especially if not washed immediately. Careful ophthalmologic
evaluation is recommended and possibility of local corticosteroid therapy
should be considered. Because of the likelihood of corrosive effects on
the gastrointestinal tract after ingestion, and the unlikelihood of systemic
effects, attempts at evacuating the stomach via emesis induction or
gastric lavage should be avoided. There is a remote possibility, however,
that a nasogastric tube may be required for the reduction of severe
distension due to gas formation.

Section 05 - Fire Fighting
Conditions of Flammability鈥︹?︹??.... Non-flammable
Means of Extinction........鈥︹?︹?︹??..... Product does not burn. Use appropriate extinguishing media for material
that is supplying the fuel to the fire. Preferably water or water fog. Carbon
dioxide and dry chemical may be used.

which may intensify fire. Can cause overpressure if confined.
Section 06 - Accidental Release Measures
Leak / Spill................鈥?.鈥︹?︹?︹?︹??... Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Ventilate area. Stop or
reduce leak if safe to do so. Prevent material from entering sewers.

should be submerged or rinsed off with water to remove hydrogen
peroxide.
Deactivating Materials...鈥︹?︹??.鈥?... Sodium metabisulphite or sodium sulphite may be used to deactivate
solutions of hydrogen peroxide diluted to less than 5%. Hydrogen peroxide
may also be deactivated by diluting with water and waiting till
decomposition is complete.

all times when product is handled. Contact lenses should not be worn;
they may contribute to severe eye injury.
Respiratory鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??.... If concentrations in excess of 10 ppm are expected, use NIOSH/DHHS
approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), or other approved
atmospheric-supplied respirator (ASR) equipment (e.g., a full-face airline
respirator). DO NOT use any form of air-purifying respirator (APR) or
filtering facepiece (AKA dust mask), especially those containing
oxidizable sorbants such as activated carbon.
Gloves鈥︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹?︹??..... Impervious gloves of chemically resistant material (rubber or PVC) should
