2 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: DANGER! Corrosive solid Causes burns. Destroys body tissue May be fatal if swallowed Use only with adequate ventilation 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Inhalation: Ingestion: Other Instructions: Immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Get immediate medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash affected skin area with soap and water. Delayed skin damage is possible if product is not completely washed off. Get immediate medical attention. Remove to fresh air. Get immediate medical attention. If ingested, dilute swallowed material by drinking water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical attention. Rescue personnel must wear appropriate protective equipment during removal of victim from contaminated area. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: Auto ignition Temperature: Flammable Limits, in Air: LEL (%) UEL (%) Extinguishing Media: Special Fire Fighting Procedure: Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Hazardous Combustion Products: Water only In the event of a fire, wear NIOSH approved, positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from the danger area. Product does not burn, but can provide oxygen, which can intensify fire. May react vigorously with organics or other material resulting in explosion. This product is a strong oxidizer, which is capable of intensifying a fire. Any contamination of this product may result in a chemical reaction fire.

3 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions: Environmental Precautions: Methods for clean-up: Restrict access to keep out unauthorized or unprotected personnel. Stay upwind of spilled material. Wear appropriate PPE during all cleanup activities. Avoid inhalation and direct contact. Keep spilled material away from sewage/drainage systems and waterways. This product contains a U.S. EPA Reportable Quantity (RQ) substance. If amounts exceeding the Reportable Quantity are released, notification of the National Response Center is required (800) See section 15. All cleanup personnel must be properly trained. Confine the spill and remove incompatible materials and ignition sources. Ensure adequate ventilation. Sweep, shovel, or pick up and return to dry, clean container. Flush spill area with water. Place waste in an appropriate container for disposal. Material that can not be used or chemically reprocessed should be disposed of at an approved facility in accordance with any applicable regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Storage: An industrial hygiene risk assessment is required to determine the appropriate respiratory protection. A NIOSH approved full-face, air- purifying cartridge respirator may be appropriate under limited exposure conditions. Wear an approved supplied air respirator if there is a potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or in other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Use with adequate ventilation. Wear proper PPE. Keep heat, lights, fire and sparks away. This container is hazardous when empty. Since emptied container contains residue, all labeled hazard precautions must be observed. Store in closed, properly labeled containers. Protect from heat, physical damage, ignition sources and incompatible materials. Have emergency equipment for fires and spills readily available. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION Eye Protection: Skin Protection: Respiratory Protection: Engineering Controls: Required Work/ Hygiene Procedure: Wear chemical splash goggles or face shield. Minimize contact with product. Wear chemical resistant coveralls, boots, gloves, apron and/or suitable long sleeve clothing. Sodium Hypochlorite may react with some types of fire resistant clothing to generate heat. Consult PPE manufacturer for chemical resistance information. Ensure adequate ventilation. Emergency eyewash and safety shower facilities should be available in the immediate work area. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke in work area. If unusual exposures are expected, an industrial hygiene review of work practices, engineering controls and PPE is recommended.
