Causes irritation.
Skin
Causes irritation
Ingestion
Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea

FIRST AID
Eyes
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the
upper and lower eyelid. Seek medical advice immediately.
Skin
Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing/shoes.
Ingestion

water. Seek medical advice immediately.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical advice immediately.
Note to doctor: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
5
FIRE FIGHTING
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand. MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Substance is non-combustible.
Oxidizer. Greatly increases the burning rate of combustible materials.
Extinguishing media: Use extinguishing media most appropriate for surrounding fire.

10 STABILITY & REACTIVITY
Chemical Stability: Light sensitive. Sodium hypochlorite solutions decompose slowly at normal
temperatures releasing low concentrations of corrosive chlorine gas.
Decomposition is influenced by temperature, concentration, pH, ionic strength,
exposure to light and the present of metals.
Conditions to avoid: Incompatible materials, light, combustible materials.
Incompatibilities with Other Materials: Methanol, metals, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, strong
acids, acids (organic, e.g. acetic acid, benzoic acid, formic acid, methanoic
acid, oxalic acid), ammonium salts.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride, chlorine, sodium oxide.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
