Section 4

First-Aid Measures

Eyes
Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Wash with soap. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion
Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately.
Most Important Symptoms and Effects
  • Causes burns to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes; eye contact may cause permanent damage including blindness; ingestion burns the mouth, throat and stomach.
  • Inhalation may irritate the nose, throat and respiratory tract (coughing, sore throat).
  • Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain; larger amounts may cause systemic poisoning.
  • Inhalation may cause coughing, shortness of breath and headache; high concentrations may cause systemic poisoning.
Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment
  • Immediate medical attention is required after eye or skin contact or ingestion; tissue damage may continue after exposure ends.
Section 5

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media
Water spray or fog in large quantities. Do NOT use dry chemical or CO2.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use dry chemical, CO2, or foam.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Oxidizer: may intensify fire and ignite combustible materials (wood, paper, oil). Fire may release corrosive and toxic gases. Containers may rupture when heated.
Protective Equipment
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Oxygen (supports combustion) and heat; pressure can build in closed or unvented containers.
Section 6

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions
Use PPE as described in Section 8. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Hazard-Specific Precautions
Keep away from combustible materials. Do not absorb with sawdust, paper or other combustible absorbents. Do not touch spilled material without protective equipment. Neutralize residue only with a method suitable for the material, then collect.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent leakage or spillage from entering drains, sewers, or waterways.
Containment & Cleanup
Absorb with inert material. Collect in appropriate waste container. Dispose per applicable regulations.
Section 7

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed when not in use.
Safe Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from combustible materials and heat. Keep away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Keep containers tightly closed.
Specific Storage Precautions
Store in the original vented container, cool and out of sunlight, away from combustibles, organics and metals. Never return material to the container. Use only clean, compatible equipment (high-purity aluminum, stainless steel, HDPE, glass).

If discarded, this material may be an ignitable hazardous waste as an oxidizer (EPA RCRA D001, 40 CFR 261.21(a)(4)). If discarded, this material may be a corrosive hazardous waste (EPA RCRA D002, 40 CFR 261.22): aqueous with pH ≤ 2 or ≥ 12.5, or a liquid that corrodes steel at more than 6.35 mm per year. The waste generator must make the final hazardous-waste determination.
