hypochlorite, and calcium hypochlorite.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide and complex organic hydrocarbons may be
formed upon combustion.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
SECTION VI 鈥? HEALTH HAZARD DATA
COMPONENTS LISTED AS KNOWN OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS: None listed by NTP, IARC or
OSHA.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Chronic respiratory disease.
ACUTE EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION: May be irritating to mucous membranes. Inhalation of vapors may lead to giddiness,
dizziness, nausea, and loss of consciousness.
SKIN CONTACT: May be mildly irritating to the skin. Prolonged or repeated exposure may result in defatting of
skin, possibly leading to dermatitis.
EYE CONTACT: Short-term exposure may lead to irritation. NOTE: Wearing of contact lenses is not
recommended when using this product.
INGESTION: Ingestion of the liquid may lead to vomiting.
CHRONIC EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Defatting of skin, dermatitis, eye, kidney or liver damage, CNS
depression, headaches, impaired vision
EMERGENCY & FIRST AID PROCEDURES:
INHALATION: Move affected person to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult. Give artificial
respiration if necessary. Seek medical advice.
SKIN CONTACT: Flush with water, then wash affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated
clothing immediately and launder before reuse. If irritation develops, seek medical advice.
EYE CONTACT: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice.
INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING! If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent
aspiration of liquid into lungs. Seek medical advice.

SECTION VII 鈥? PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
DANGER! FLAMMABLE!
Eliminate all ignition sources. Handling equipment must be grounded to prevent sparking.
LARGE SPILLS: Isolate the hazard area and keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate protective
clothing and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Ventilate area. Confine free liquid by diking and
remove liquid with explosion-proof vacuum truck or pump to chemical storage vessel. Soak up residue with inert
absorbent material such as clay or sand; place in leak-free container, label as to contents, and hold for proper disposal.
Dispose of spill material according to applicable regulations.
DO NOT ALLOW MATERIAL TO ENTER SEWERS OR WATER COURSES LEADING TO SURFACE
WATERS.
SMALL SPILLS: Take up with inert absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers; label as to contents;
seal tightly for proper disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose of material according to applicable Federal or State regulations.
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING AND STORING: Do not store in excessive heat so as to avoid pressure
buildup in containers. Keep liquid away from very intense heat sources to eliminate decomposition into toxic
products. Avoid inhalation of vapors and excessive or repeated skin contact.
SECTION VIII 鈥? CONTROL MEASURES
VENTILATION REQUIREMENT: Local or mechanical explosion-proof.
NIOSH approved respirator at or above applicable exposure limit.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Chemically impervious.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Goggles.
EYE PROTECTION:
Chemical impervious clothing to prevent skin contact.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
SECTION IX 鈥? SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Do not handle or store near heat, sparks,
flame or strong oxidizers. Adequate ventilation required. Avoid breathing vapors; avoid prolonged or repeated
skin contact.
NOTE: FLAMMABLE LIQUID LABEL REQUIRED!
