NTP: ()
IARC: ()
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure:
Ingestion: Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire gastrointestinal tract,
including the stomach and intestines, characterized by nausea, vomiting,
1
diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding and/or tissue ulceration.
Inhalation: Irritating to the nose, mouth, throat and lungs. It may also cause burns
to the respiratory tract with the production of lung edema that can result in
shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain, and impairment of
lung function. Inhalation of high concentrations can result in permanent
lung damage from the corrosive action of the lung.
Skin Contact: Dermal exposure can cause severe irritation and/or burns
characterized by redness, swelling and scab formation. Prolonged skin
exposure may cause permanent damage.
Eye Contact: Severe irritation and/or burns can occur following eye exposure.
Contact may cause impairment of vision and corneal damage.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Asthma, respiratory and
cardiovascular disease.
IV 鈥? FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Ingestion: If swallowed, wash mouth thoroughly with plenty of water and give
water to drink. Get medical attention immediately. Note: Never give an
unconscious person anything to drink.
Inhalation: In case of dust inhalation or breathing fumes released from heated
material, remove person to fresh air. Keep person quiet and warm. Apply artificial
respiration if necessary and get medical attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild
soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before re-use.
Eye Contact: Holding the eyelids apart, flush eyes promptly with copious flowing
water for at least 20 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
Note to physician: Corrosive. No specific antidote. In case of ingestion, do not induce
vomiting. Treat symptomatically and supportively.

LEL:
UEL:
Extinguishing Media: Water 鈥? Do not use dry chemical extinguisher containing ammonia
compounds.
Special Fire-fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in positive pressure mode. Cool
containers with water spray. On small fires, use water spray or fog. On large fires,
use heavy deluge or fog streams. Flooding amounts of water may be required
before extinguishment can be accomplished.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: When heated to decomposition, may release
2
poisonous and corrosive fumes of nitrogen trichloride, chlorine and carbon
monoxide.
VI 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to Be Taken In Case Material Is Spilled or Released:
Personal Protections: For small spills in a well-ventilated area, wear a NIOSH
approved half-face or full face tight fitting respirator or a loose fitting powered
air-purifying respirator equipped with chlorine cartridges. Chemical goggles
should be worn when using a half-face respirator. In addition to respiratory
protection, wear coveralls; chemical resistant gloves; chemical resistant footwear;
and chemical resistant headgear for overhead exposure. For clean up of large
spills, or small dry spills in confined areas, wear full-face respirator with chlorine
cartridges or a positive pressure supplied air respirator. Additionally, body
protection should be impervious clothing covering entire body to prevent personal
contact with material. CAUTION- Protection concerns must also address the
following: If this material becomes damp/wet or contaminated in a container, the
formation of nitrogen trichloride gas may occur and an explosive condition may
exist.
After spillage or leakage: Hazardous concentrations in air may be found in local
spill area and immediately downwind. If spill material is still dry, do not put water
directly on this product as a gas evolution may occur.
On Soil: Do not contaminate spill material with any organic materials, ammonia,
ammonium salts or urea. Clean up all spill material with clean, dry dedicated
equipment and place in a clean dry container.
On Water: This product is heavier than and soluble in water. Stop flow of material
into water as soon as possible. Begin monitoring for available chlorine and pH
immediately. In Air: Vapors may be suppressed by the use of water fog.
VII 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storage: Do not take internally. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes and clothing. Upon contact with skin or eyes, wash off with
water. Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area and away from incompatible
materials. Do not store at temperatures above 60掳C / 140掳F. Product has a shelf
life limitation of three years if stored in a cool, dry place.
Other Precautions:
VIII 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection: When dusty conditions are encountered, wear a NIOSH/OSHA
full-face respirator with chlorine cartridges for protection against chlorine gas and
dust/mist pre-filter. A respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI
Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a
respirator's use.
Ventilation:
3
Local Exhaust: Use local exhaust as necessary, especially under dusty
conditions.
Mechanical Exhaust:
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Neoprene gloves, chemical safety goggles,
impervious body covering clothes, boots and neoprene apron.
