Do not enter any confined fire-spaces without protective clothing and self-contained air supply.
Strong oxidizer. May ignite combustible or organic materials when in contact. chlorine gas may be present in fire.
Cool fire exposed containers.
SMALL AMOUNTS - Absorb with non organic absorbent. LARGE AMOUNTS - Absorb with non organic
absorbent, then shovel into appropriately labeled containers.
Contain with absorbent material and dispose of in accordance with federal, state and local
requirements.
Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from acids and ammonia. Do not mix with
any other chemical. Do not get in eyes, skin or clothing. Store in a well ventilated
place. Avoid breathing mists or vapors. Keep container closed.
