First Aid:EYE: OBJECT IS TO FLUSH MATL OUT IMMED & THEN SEEK MED ATTN.
IMMED FLUSH EYES W/DIRECTED STREAM OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN
WHILE FORCIBLY HOLDING EYELIDS APART TO ENSURE COMPLETE IRRIGATION
OF ALL E YE & LID TISSUE. WASHING EYES W/IN ONE MIN IS ESSENTIAL TO
ACHIEVE MAX EFTIVENESS. SEEK MED ATTN IMMED. SKIN: SEEK MED ATTN

Extinguishing Media:USE WATER SPRAY, FOG, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL OR CARBON
DIOXIDE OR OTHER AGENTS SUITABLE FOR MATERIALS IN SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT . ACID CONTAMINATION WILL PRODUCE VERY IRRITATING FUMES
SIMILAR TO CHLORINE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLNS DECOMPOSE WHEN
HEATED. DECOMP PRODS MAY CAUSE CNTNR TO RUPTURE OR EXPLODE.
VIGOROUS RXN POSS W/ORG MATLS OR OXIDIZING AGENTS (SUPDAT)

Spill Release Procedures:DO NOT ALLOW SPILLED MATL TO ENTER SEWERS OR
STREAMS. FLUSH W/WATER TO DILUTE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE & PUMP INTO
POLYETHYLENE CNTNRS FOR DISP. AVOID HEAT & CONTAM W/ACID MATLS. DO
NOT USE COMBUST MATLS S UCH AS SAWDUST TO ABSORB HYPOCHLORITE. (ING

Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:DO NOT STORE ADJACENT TO CHEMICALS
THAT MAY REACT IF SPILLAGE OCCURS. COMPLY WITH DOT REGULATIONS WHEN
SHIPPED.
Other Precautions:IF CLOSED CNTNRS BECOME HEATED, VENT TO RELEASE
DECOMP PRODS (MAINLY OXYGEN UNDER NORMAL DECOMP). DO NOT MIX OR
CONTAMINATE W/AMMONIA, HYDROCARBONS, ACIDS, ALCOHOLS OR ETHERS. DO
NOT REUSE CNTNRS: PRO D RESIDUES MAY REMAIN IN (ING 15)

Respiratory Protection:NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOLLOWING
MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS, SHOULD BE USED AS A PRECAUTIONARY
