Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to Physician Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media No information available.

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical Combustion/explosion hazards No information available.

Hazardous Combustion Products

Bromine, Chlorine.

Explosion Data Sensitivity to mechanical impact None.

Sensitivity to static discharge None.

Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Wash thoroughly after handling Use personal protective equipment. Keep only in original container

Environmental Precautions Environmental precautions Contain any spill with dikes or absorbents to prevent migration and entry into sewers or streams. Large spills should be collected mechanically (remove by pumping) for disposal.

May require excavation of contaminated soil. Take up small spills by first diluting with water and then using a dehalogenating agent such as sodium thiosulfate solution.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Methods for Containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Methods for Cleaning up Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, universal binder, sawdust)

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling Handling Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray

Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling Use personal protective equipment as required

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage Avoid freezing, excessive heat or exposure to light, especially direct sunlight. If heating is necessary to prevent freezing, care must be taken to prevent overheating. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the average product temperature is maintained below 43 °C. Temperature monitoring is recommended. At elevated temperatures, self-heating can lead to vigorous gas generation and over-pressurization of storage containers if appropriate controls are not in place. Avoid exposure of this product to incompatible materials/chemicals (see Stability and Reactivity section). Use of incompatible materials can promote the exothermic decomposition of the product. In extreme cases, this could result in vigorous gas formation and over-pressurization of the storage container. STORAGE CONTAINER: Vented and opaque containers: As the product ages, activity is gradually lost and pressure can build-up in the headspace

Page 3 / 8

(nitrogen); therefore, the product should be stored in vented containers. Product should also be stored in opaque containers to prevent exposure to light. To maximize product shelf life, store the product in an opaque container, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store locked up. Store in corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner.

Incompatible Materials This product is strongly basic and an oxidizing agent. Avoid contact with alcohols, aldehydes, strong reducing agents, strong oxidizers, acids, ammonia-containing products, and common metals such as steel, aluminum, iron and copper. Use of incompatible materials can promote the exothermic decomposition of the product.
