4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of first aid measures

General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment.

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; if effects occur, consult a physician.

Skin contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur or irritation persists. Wash clothing before reuse. Suitable emergency safety shower facility should be immediately available.

Eye contact: - Wash eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes at least. Do not forget to remove contact lenses. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be immediately available.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Give one cup (8 ounces or 240 ml) of water or milk if available and transport to a medical facility. Do not give anything by mouth unless the person is fully conscious.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to physician: May cause asthma-like (reactive airways) symptoms. Bronchodilators, expectorants, antitussives and corticosteroids may be of help. Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. Chemical eye burns may require extended irrigation. Obtain prompt consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist. If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. Due to irritant properties, swallowing may result in burns/ulceration of mouth, stomach and lower gastrointestinal tract with subsequent stricture. Aspiration of vomitus may cause lung injury. Suggest endotracheal/esophageal control if lavage is done. No specific antidote.

Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Repeated excessive exposure may aggravate preexisting lung disease.

5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media: In case of fire, use water fog, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do NOT use water jet. May spread fire. Dry chemical extinguishing agents may react with product; use with caution.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: No data available

Advice for firefighters Fire Fighting Procedures: For safety reasons in case of fire, containers should be stored separately in closed containments. Do not breathe fumes.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Wear suitable protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapor. Avoid all contact. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear suitable protective clothing. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. Ventilate area of leak or spill.

Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information. Do not discharge directly to a water source. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible. Small spills: Large spills: Absorb with materials such as: Vermiculite. Cover with absorbent or contain. Collect and dispose. Dike and transfer to suitable and properly labeled containers. This material is corrosive. See SECTION 8, Exposure Controls/Personal Protection, prior to handling.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling: Keep container closed. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Use with adequate ventilation. Use good general industrial hygiene practices for handling. Wash thoroughly after handling. Protect from direct exposure to sunlight.

Conditions for safe storage: Keep container tightly closed. Store away from incompatible materials. See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY section. Store under cover in a dry, clean, cool, well ventilated place away from sunlight. Store away from oxidizing materials. Store in original vented container.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters Exposure limits are listed below, if they exist.

Exposure controls Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Individual protection measures Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles.

Skin protection Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene.

Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Avoid gloves made of: Polyvinyl

alcohol ("PVA"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task. Reports indicate that sodium hypochlorite can react with various fabrics usually increasing with concentration. Reactions vary significantly depending on strength of chemical, material, fabric treatment and color of dyes. Fire resistant clothing treated cotton has a stronger response than plain cotton. Poly blend fabrics and meta aramid fabric have a weaker response than natural fibers. Contact the Personal Protective Equipment manufacturer for specific information about their products.

Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator.

The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Particulate filter.
