Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity
Stable under normal conditions of use and storage; Stability decreases with increased concentration, heat, light exposure,
decrease in pH and contamination with heavy metals such as nickel, cobalt, copper and iron.
Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Mixing this product with acid or ammonia releases chlorine gas.
Conditions to avoid
Exposure to air or moisture over prolonged periods; Excessive heat, exposure to light, reduced alkalinity, and contamination of
any kind. Reduced alkalinity or contamination can result in evolution of chlorine (toxic) gas. Decrease in pH such as by mixing
with other than water, and contamination with items mentioned below as incompatible can result in evolution of chlorine
(toxic) gas.
Incompatible materials
Strong acids and bases; Oxidizing agents; Ether, ammonia compounds, hydrogen peroxide, all acids, alum, reducing agents,
human or animal waste, oxidizable or combustible materials such as wood, cloth or organic materials, organic chemicals such as
solvents and solvent based cleaning compounds, fuels and fuel oils, amines, methanol, propane, organic polymers, ethylene
glycol, insecticides, heavy metals such as iron, copper, magnesium, aluminum, tin, steel, stainless steel, carbon steel,
manganese, zinc, chromium, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite, sodium
thiosulfate. Do not mix this product with any of the foregoing or hazardous gases can result.
