Benzene sulfonamide, N-Chloro-4-methyl, sodium salt

Halamid® Aqua Revision Date 15/04/2014

Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact

Handling Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid dust formation. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

None.

Storage Store at temperatures below 86° F (30° C). Store away from foodstuff or animal feed.

Containers should be kept tightly capped and stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area protected from direct sunlight and away from flammable, reducing or oxidizing materials and sources of heat and flame. Store in a manner designed to prevent spills that may result in discharge to surface waters. Exercise due caution to prevent damage or leakage from the container.

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Sensitivity to Static Discharge Fine dust dispersed in air, in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

Chemical Name ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL NIOSH IDLH

Personal precautions

Benzene sulfonamide, N-Chloro-4-methyl, sodium salt

15 mg/m³ (total dust) 5 mg/m³ (resp fraction)

Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Evacuate non-essential personnel. Wear suitable protective clothing.

Explosion Data

Appropriate engineering controls Do not breathe dust. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

Environmental precautions Do not release the undiluted product directly into natural waterways. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains, surface water or soil.

Personal protective equipment

Fire fighting measures As in any fire, prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion.

Evacuate non-essential personnel. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.

Methods for cleaning up Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source (heat, sparks or flame) is a potential explosion hazard.

Sweep up spilled solid material, being careful not to create dust.
