VII. Handling and Storage

Handling:

Handle all chemicals with respect. Keep separated from incompatible substances.

Handle only with equipment, materials and supplies specified by their manufacturer as being compatible and appropriate for use with this product.

Storage:

Store at appropriate temperature to protect from freezing or crystallization. Consult the appropriate SII Product Bulletin for temperature recommendations. Do not store this material near food, animal feed or drinking water. Store in well ventilated area.

Store away from excessive heat (e.g. steam pipes, radiators), and from reactive materials. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.

V. Fire Fighting Measures

NFPA Hazard Rating:

Health (Blue) Fire (Red) Reactivity (Yellow) Special Instructions (White)

2 0 1 None NFPA Hazard Classification: 0 = Least 1=Slight 2= Moderate 3= High 4= Extreme

Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Special Firefighting Procedure:

Wear NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to keep containers cool and to knock down fumes. CAUTION: when subject to excess heat, product releases additional sulfur dioxide gas.

VI. Accidental Release Measures

Precaution if Spilled or Released:

Steps should be taken to contain spilled liquids and prevent discharges to streams or sewer systems.

Neutralizing Chemicals:

Neutralize with appropriate alkali such as sodium hydroxide, or soda ash to neutral pH. Avoid conditions where the pH of spilled material is maintained at lower than pH 6, since sulfur dioxide can be released at ambient temperatures below this pH.

VIII. Exposure Control / Personal Protective Equipment Component Workplace Control Parameters:

Components: CAS-No. Value Parameters Basis

Sodium Bisulfite 7631-90-5 TWA 5 mg/m3 solid sodium bisulfite (metabisulfite)

Engineering Controls:

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value.

General Hygiene:

Practice good personal hygiene after using this material, especially before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.

Personal Protection Equipment:

Eye:

Use chemical splash goggles and face shield. Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system employed.

Skin:

Chemically resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is handled. Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough.

Respiratory:

None required under normal conditions. When conditions warrant a respirator, use NIOSH approved respirator and cartridge for particulates and Sulfur Dioxide.

Other Protective Items:

Where splash is possible, full chemically resistant protective clothing and boots are required. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location.

HMIS Classification:

Health (Blue) Flammability (Red) Physical Hazard (Yellow) PPE (White)

2 0 1 See Above Hazard Classification: 0 = Minimal 1=Slight 2= Moderate 3= Serious 4= Severe
