Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation (Breathing): Respiratory System Effects: Exposure to the solid product or to free chlorine evolving from the product may cause irritation, redness of upper and lower airways, coughing, laryngospasm and edema, shortness of breath, bronchoconstriction, and possible pulmonary edema. The pulmonary edema may develop several hours after a severe acute exposure.
Skin: Skin Corrosion. Exposure to solid along with moisture may cause redness, irritation, burning sensation, swelling, blister formation, first, second, or third degree burns.
Eye: Serious Eye Damage. Exposure to eyes may cause irritation and burns to the eye lids, conjunctivitis, corneal edema, and corneal burn. Significant and prolonged contact may cause damage to the internal contents of the eye.
Ingestion (Swallowing): Gastrointestinal Effects: Exposure by ingestion may cause irritation, nausea, and vomiting. May cause local tissue damage to esophagus and stomach such as burning, inflammation, local ulceration, and may cause gastrointestinal bleeding.
Delayed Symptoms/Effects: - Repeated and prolonged skin contact may cause a dermatitis
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing Media: Flood with copious amounts of water, Do not use ABC fire extinguishers, Do not use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, or halogenated extinguishing agents
Fire Fighting: Consider evacuation of personnel located downwind. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Wear NIOSH approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure demand mode. Material which appears undamaged except for being damp on the outside, should be opened and inspected immediately. DO NOT attempt to reseal contaminated drums. Damp material should be neutralized to a non-oxidizing state. Contact supplier for instructions for handling and disposal of damp material.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Chlorine, Nitrogen, Nitrogen trichloride, Cyanogen chloride, Oxides of carbon, Phosgene
Accidental release measures
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: DO NOT add water to spilled material. DO NOT use floor sweeping compounds to clean up spills. Sweep and scoop spilled material into clean, dedicated equipment. Every attempt should be made to avoid mixing spilled material with other chemicals or debris when cleaning up. DO NOT attempt to reseal contaminated drums. DO NOT transport wet or damp material. Damp material should be neutralized to a non-oxidizing state. Contact OxyChem for instructions for handling and disposal of damp material.
Environmental Precautions: This material is very toxic to aquatic life. This material is very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Keep out of water supplies and sewers. Releases should be reported, if required, to appropriate agencies
Handling and storage
Safe Storage Conditions: Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. (NFPA Oxidizer Class 1). Store away from open flames, and combustibles. Do not allow water to get in container. If liner is present, tie after each use. Keep container tightly closed and properly labeled. Store containers on pallets. Keep away from food, drink and animal feed. Keep separated from incompatible substances (see below or Section 10 of the Safety Data Sheet). Product has an indefinite shelf life if stored in original container in a cool, dry place.
Incompatibilities/ Materials to Avoid: acids, ammonia, bases, floor sweeping compounds, calcium hypochlorite, reducing agents, organic solvents and compounds
GHS: PHYSICAL HAZARDS: - Oxidizing Solid - Category 2 - May intensify fire; oxidizer
Physical Hazards Not Otherwise Classified - Reacts in contact with water to evolve nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard - Contact with water liberates toxic gas

Exposure controls / personal protection
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use only in well-ventilated areas. Provide local exhaust ventilation where dust or mist may be generated. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses with side-shields. Wear chemical safety goggles with a face shield to protect against eye and skin contact when appropriate. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact. When potential for contact with dry material exists, wear disposable coveralls suitable for dust exposure, such as TyvekÒ . Contaminated clothing should be removed and laundered before reuse.
Hand Protection: Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Consult a glove manufacturer for assistance in selecting an appropriate chemical resistant glove.
Protective Material Types: Butyl rubber, Natural rubber, Neoprene, Nitrile, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Tyvek
Respiratory Protection: A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 (dust, fume, mist) cartridges may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or when symptoms have been observed that are indicative of overexposure. The added protection of a full face-piece respirator is required when visible dusty conditions are encountered and eye irritation may occur. Acid gas cartridges with N95 filters are required when fumes or vapor may be generated. A respiratory protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant use of a respirator.
This material is corrosive. Product has strong buffering capability. Use dilution. May cause burns to moist skin if not promptly removed. There is no specific antidote.
Stability and reactivity
Chemical Stability: Stable at normal temperatures and pressures.
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Do not get water inside container. Wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard. Avoid contact with easily oxidizable organic material.
Conditions to Avoid: (e.g., static discharge, shock, or vibration) -. None known.
Incompatibilities/ Materials to Avoid: acids, ammonia, bases, floor sweeping compounds, calcium hypochlorite, reducing agents, organic solvents and compounds.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Chlorine, nitrogen, nitrogen trichloride, cyanogen chloride, oxides of carbon, phosgene
Disposal considerations
Container Management: See product label for container disposal information. Dispose of container in accordance with applicable local, regional, national, and/or international regulations. Container rinsate must be disposed of in compliance with applicable regulations.
