3. Composition/information on ingredients
Substances
Chemical name CAS number %
Calcium Hypochlorite 7778-54-3 >65
Calcium Chlorate 10137-74-3 <2
Calcium Carbonate 471-34-1 <2
Calcium Hydroxide 1305-62-0 <2
Sodium Chloride 7647-14-5 <17

Composition comments All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in
percent by volume.

4. First-aid measures
Inhalation Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, trained
personnel should begin artificial respiration or, if the heart has stopped start CPR
(cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Get medical attention immediately.
Skin contact Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye contact Immediately flush with plenty of lukewarm water for up to 20 minutes. Remove any contact
lenses and open eyelids wide apart. Continue rinsing. Take care not to raise contaminated
water into affected eye. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or if unconscious or
convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thorough with water. Have victim drum one cup (240-300ml
8-10 oz) to dilute material in stomach. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, rinse
mouth and repeat administration of water. If breathing has stopped, trained personnel should
begin artificial respiration or, if the heart has stopped cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
immediately. Get medical attention immediately.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Means of Extinction: Drench with water and cool surrounding products with water. Water in contact with hot hypochlorite
can release hydrochloric acid or chlorine gas. Use appropriate self-fire extinguishing agents – Use
water only.

Flash Point and Methods of Determination: Not combustible (does not burn). Be aware that Calcium
Hypochlorite can decompose violently at temperatures above 150° C. Releasing heat and oxygen
gas.

Upper Flammable Limit: Not applicable.

Lower Flammable Limit: Not applicable.
Auto Ignition temperature: Not applicable.
Hazardous combustions Oxygen, Chlorine and Chlorine Monoxide
products:
Protective Equipment: In case of fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protective.

6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: In case of violent reaction and ignition, ensure proper and adequate ventilation and remove all the
resources of ignition. Use personal protective requirement and evacuate people to safe areas.
Environmental Precautions: Ensure the production does not enter the drains and do not allow the material to contaminate
ground water systems.
Methods of Clean up: Protect from contamination and ensure the disposal is done promptly into the suitable containers.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Avoid generation dust. Avoid mixing pure material with contaminated material. Use smallest
possible amounts in designated areas with adequate ventilation.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in original containers. Keep container tightly closed in a clean, cool, open and well-
ventilated place. Keep out of sun.

8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation required when exposure to dust occurs.

Precautions/Procedure Restrict access to area until completion of clean up.

In case of spill:

Personal Protective Equipment:

Respiration Protection: Wear dust mask or NIOSH approved type canister type respirator suitable for chlorine.

Eye/Face Protection: Chemical safety goggles, face shields are necessary.

Skin Protection: Use impervious gloves, body suite, boots, and/or other resistant protective clothing. Have safety
shower/eye wash fountain readily available in the immediate work area.

Materials for Protective Butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile/polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride.
