V. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABILITY OF THE PRODUCT Product is not known to be ammable, combustible, or pyrophoric. This material increases the risk of re and may aid combustion. Contact with
combustible material may cause re. This product is a strong oxidizer which is capable of intensifying a re once started. Container may rupture.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
SUITABLE Drench with large quantities of water only.
NOT SUITABLE Do not use dry chemicals or foams. Product supplies own oxygen, therefore attempts to smother re with a wet blanket, carbon dioxide, dry
chemical extinguisher or other means are not eective. Product has the potential to cause a violent reaction if dry chemical re extinguishers are
used.
SPECIAL EXPOSURE HAZARDS Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is a re. No action shall be taken involving any personal
risk or without suitable training. Move containers from re area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep re-exposed containers
cool. Emits toxic fumes under re conditions. Chlorine gas may be generated. This material is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Fire water
contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Decomposition products may include the following materials:
carbon oxides
halogenated compounds
metal oxide/oxides
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Fireghters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive
FOR FIREFIGHTERS pressure mode.
VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected
personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut o all ignition sources. No ares, smoking or ames in hazard area.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS Avoid dispersal of spilled material, runo and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has
caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the environment if released in large
quantities.
LARGE SPILL Use extreme caution in handling spilled material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Do not mix this product with any other
chemicals, including any other pool chemicals of any kind, such as other disinfection or “shock” pool products. Contamination with moisture, acids,
organic matter, other chemicals (including, but not limited to cleaning chemicals and other pool chemicals), petroleum or paint products or other
easily combustible materials may start a chemical reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases and possible violent reaction
leading to re or explosion. If re or decomposition occurs in area of spill, immediately douse with plenty of water. Otherwise, sweep up all visible
material using a clean (new, if possible), dry shovel and broom and immediately dissolve material in a water-lled container. Spilled material that
has been swept up and dissolved in water should be used immediately in the normal application for which this product is being consumed. Prevent
entry into sewers, water courses, basements or conned areas. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
SMALL SPILL Use extreme caution in handling spilled material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Do not mix this product with any other
chemicals, including any other pool chemicals of any kind, such as disinfection or “shock” pool products. Contamination with moisture, acids,
organic matter, other chemicals (including, but not limited to cleaning chemicals and other pool chemicals), petroleum or paint products or other
easily combustible materials may start a chemical reaction with generation of heat, liberation of hazardous gases and possible violent reaction leading
to re or explosion. If re or decomposition occurs in area of spill, immediately douse with plenty of water. Otherwise, sweep up all visible material
using a clean (new, if possible), dry shovel and broom and immediately dissolve material in a water-lled container. Spilled material that has been
swept up and dissolved in water should be used immediately in the normal application for which this product is being consumed. Prevent entry
into sewers, water courses, basements or conned areas.

VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING Use extreme caution in handling spilled material. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section VIII). Eating, drinking and smoking
should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Do not swallow. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container with the lid securely
closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, ames, direct sunlight, and other sources of heat, including lighted tobacco products. Keep away from
combustible material. Add this product only to water. Never add water to this product. Always add the product to large quantities of water. Do
not mix this product with any other chemicals, including any other pool chemicals of any kind, such as other disinfection or “shock” pool products.
Fire may result if contaminated with acids, organic materials and other easily combustible materials such as oil, kerosene, gasoline, paint products,
wood and paper. Use only clean, dry utensils made of metal or plastic. Do not add this product to any dispensing device containing remnants of
any other products or pool chemicals. Such use may cause violent reaction leading to re or explosion. Empty containers retain product residue
and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. Residual material remaining in empty container can react to cause re. Thoroughly ush empty
container with water then destroy by placing in trash collection.
STORAGE Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away
from incompatible materials (see Section X) and food and drink. Separate from acids, alkalies, reducing agents and combustibles. See NFPA 400,
Hazardous Material Code for further information. (Please note that NFPA 400, Hazardous Materials Code recently replaced NFPA 430, Code for
Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers.) Keep container closed. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright
to prevent leakage. If product becomes contaminated or decomposes do not reseal container. If possible isolate container in open air or well-
ventilated area. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination. Do not contaminate
water, food, or feed by storage or disposal of this product.
VIII. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
CONSULT LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR ACCEPTABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS
RECOMMENDED MONITORING PROCEDURES If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine
the eectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment.
ENGINEERING MEASURES Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation
or other engineer controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. Engineering controls
may be required to control the primary or secondary risks associated with this product.
HYGIENE MEASURES Wash hands, forearms and face throughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking, using the lavatory and at the end of the working
