VIII. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION (continued)
GLOVES Nitrile, neoprene, butyl rubber.
RESPIRATORY If workers are exposed to concentrations above the exposure limit, they must use appropriate, certied respirators. Use a properly tted, air-
purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be
based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
SKIN Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved
by a specialist before handling this product.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of the environmental
protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, lters or engineering modications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce
emissions to acceptable levels.

X. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY The product may not be stable under certain conditions of storage or use. See “Possibility of Hazardous Reactions” for further information.
Product decomposes at approximately 170-180°C (338-356°F) releasing oxygen gas and some chlorine gas.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see Section VII). Heating may cause a re or explosion. Excessive heat will cause
decomposition resulting in the release of oxygen and chlorine gas.
MATERIALS TO AVOID Highly reactive or incompatible with the following materials: moisture, combustible materials, organic materials, metals, acids, alkalis, oxidizing
materials, reducing materials, ammonia, petroleum products, paint products, wood, paper and pool chemicals.
Acid or ammonia contamination will release toxic gases.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Product slowly releases chlorine gas.
POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTIONS Hazardous reactions or instability may occur under certain conditions of storage or use.
Conditions may include the following:
contact with combustible materials
contact with acids/ammonia
Reactions may include the following:
risk of causing or intensifying re
liberation of toxic gas
XI. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
PERMISSIBLE No permissible exposure limits have been established by OSHA.
ACUTE
INHALATION Inhalation of this material is irritating to the nose, mouth, throat and lungs. It may also cause burns to the respiratory tract with the production of lung
edema which can result in shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain and impairment of lung function. Inhalation of high concentrations
can result in permanent lung damage. Chronic (repeated) inhalation exposure may cause impairment of lung function and permanent lung damage.
EYE/SKIN Severe irritation and/or burns can occur following eye exposure. Contact may cause impairment of vision and corneal damage. Contact with skin
may cause severe irritation, burns, or tissue destruction.
INGESTION Irritation and/or burns can occur to the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestines, characterized by nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, abdominal pain, bleeding, and/or tissue ulceration.
CHRONIC There are no known or reported eects from chronic exposure.
