SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Protection for Emergency
Situations:
Response to a large quantity spill (100 pounds or greater) or when
dusting or decomposition gas exposure could occur requires the use
of a positive pressure full face supplied air repirator or self contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA), chemical resistant gloves, coveralls
and boots. In case of fire, this personal protective equipment should
be used in addition to normal fire fighter equipment.Compatible
materials for response to this material are: neoprene.Protection
concerns must also address the following: If this material becomes
damp/wet or contaminated in a container, the formation of nitrogen
trichloride gas may occur and an explosive condition may exist.
Spill Mitigation Procedures
Air Release:
Vapors may be suppressed by the use of water fog.
Water Release:
This material is heavier than water. This material is soluble in water.
Stop water flow or divert water flow around spill if possible and safe
to do so. Begin monitoring for available chlorine and pH
immediately.
Land Release:
Do not contaminate spill material with any organic materials,
ammonia, ammonium salts or urea. Clean up all spill material with
clean, dry dedicated equipment and place in a clean dry container.
Additional Spill Information :
FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENTS, CALL CHEMTREC: 1-
800-424-9300 REPORTABLE QUANTITY: Not Applicable (Per 40
CFR 302.4) Hazardous concentrations in air may be found in local
spill area and immediately downwind. If spill material is still dry, do
not put water directly on this product as a gas evolution may occur.
If material is wet, contact 1-800-654-6911 for proper stabilization
procedures. Dispose of spill residues per guidelines under Section

ambient temperatures.
Incompatible Materials for Storage:
Organic materials, Reducing agents, nitrogen containing materials,
Oxidizing, Acids, Bases, (Incompatible materials for packaging:
paper, cardboard)
