Safety information

• Signal word: DANGER
• Classification: Oxidizing solids — Category 2. Acute toxicity (inhalation) — Category 2. Acute toxicity (oral) — Category 4. Skin corrosion — Category 1C. Corrosive to metals — Category 1. Serious eye damage — Category 1. Reproductive toxicity — Category 2. Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure — Category 3 (respiratory system). Acute and chronic aquatic toxicity — Category 1.
• H272 May intensify fire; oxidizer.
• H290 May be corrosive to metals.
• H302 Harmful if swallowed.
• H314 Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
• H318 Causes serious eye damage.
• H330 Fatal if inhaled.
• H335 May cause respiratory irritation.
• H361 Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
• H400 / H410 Very toxic to aquatic life, with long lasting effects.
• Damp or wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas.

Handling

• Never add water to the product. Always add the product to a large quantity of water.
• Use clean, dry utensils. Do not add this product to any dispensing device containing remnants of another product.
• Avoid contamination with moisture, organic matter or other chemicals.
• Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing dust or fumes.
• Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
• The vapour space in a closed container may hold a small amount of chlorine gas — open with care in a ventilated area.
• Avoid release to sewers, watersheds and water systems.

Personal protective equipment

• Hands: chemical-resistant gloves
• Eyes: chemical safety goggles
• Body: protective clothing, long-sleeved, to prevent skin contact
• Feet: chemical-resistant boots
• Respiratory: an approved respirator with a chemical cartridge if dust or vapour cannot be avoided
• Ventilation: general room ventilation plus local exhaust at points of emission

Storage

Keep the material dry and store it in a dry area. Store in the original container, retie the polyethylene liner and keep the container tightly closed. Store where temperatures do not exceed 52 °C (125 °F) for 24 hours. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage.

Incompatible materials

Incompatible with easily oxidizable organic material; ammonia, urea and similar nitrogen-containing compounds; inorganic reducing compounds; floor sweeping compounds; calcium hypochlorite; alkalis; acids; water; and lime. Do not get water inside the container — wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard. Avoid moisture, moist air and high temperatures.
