=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL LD50 (RAT) IS NOT ESTABLISHED.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:YES	 OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:VAPORS AND LIQUID ARE CORROSIVE AND
    IRRITATING. INHALATION OF MIST MAY BURN THE MUCOUS MEMBRANE OF THE
    NOSE & THROAT. INGESTION MAY CAUSE BLISTERING OR TISSUE
    DESTRUCTION. SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE IRRIT ATION AND DISCOLORATION.
    VAPORS ARE VERY CORROSIVE AND IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND LIQUID MAY
    CAUSE TISSUE DESTRUCTION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:IRAC "3": NOT CLASSIFIABLE AS TO ITS
    CARCINOGENICITY TO HUMANS.
Effects of Overexposure:VAPORS AND LIQUID ARE CORROSIVE AND IRRITATING.
    INGESTION OF LARGE AMOUNTS MAY CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, VOMITING AND
    DIARRHEA AS WELL AS BLISTERING OR TISSUE DESTRUCTION. SKIN CONTACT
    MAY CAUSE DISCOLORA TION AND PAIN. EYE CONTACT MAY CAUSE PAIN,
    REDNESS AND BLURRED VISION. SPLASHES MAY CAUSE TISSUE DESTRUCTION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH PRE-EXISTING SKIN
    DISORDERS, EYE PROBLEMS OR IMPAIRED RESPIRATORY FUNCTION MAY BE
    MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSTANCE.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH WITH PLENTY
    OF WATER WHILE REMOVING CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. INHALATION: REMOVE
    TO FR ESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
    BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE
    VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS, GIVE WATER OR MILK TO DRINK. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NOT COMBUSTIBLE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH
    APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL FACEPIECE
    OPERATED IN PRESS DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CONTACT WITH OXIDIZABLE SUBSTANCES MAY
    CAUSE EXTREMELY VIOLENT COMBUSTION. DRYING OF CONCENTRATED HYDROGEN
    PEROXIDE ON COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MAY CAUSE FIRE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:DILUTE WITH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER & HOLD IN A
    POND OR DIKED AREA UNTIL THE H2O2 DECOMPOSES FOLLOWED BY DISCHARGE
    INTO A SUITABLE TREATMENT SYSTEM. DO NOT FLUSH UNDILUTED MATERIAL
    TO SEWER. RINSE EMPTY  CONTAINERS WITH WATER BEFORE DISCARDING.
Neutralizing Agent:NEUTRALIZE WITH SODIUM METABISULFITE OR SODIUM
    SULFITE AFTER DILUTING WITH WATER

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN COOL, WELL-VENTILATED DARK
    AREA SEPARATED FROM COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCES, REDUCING AGENTS, STRONG
    BASES & ORGANICS. SUGGEST ROTATION OF STOCK.
Other Precautions:CAUTION! CAUSTIC MATERIAL. CAUSES FIRES WITH ORGANIC
    MATERIALS. VENTILATE AREA OF LEAK OR SPILL. CLEAN-UP PERSONNEL
    REQUIRE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CONTAIN & RECOVER LIQUID WHEN
    POSSIBLE. DO NOT RETURN S PILLED MATERIAL TO ORIGINAL CONTAINER.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:IF THE TLV IS EXCEEDED A FULL FACEPIECE CHEMICAL
    CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR MAY BE WARN, IN GENERAL, UP TO 100 TIMES THE
    TLV OR THE MAXIMUM USE CONCENTRATION SPECIFIED BY THE RESPIRATOR
    SUPPLIER, WHICHEVER  IS LESS.
Ventilation:A SYSTEM OF LOCAL AND/OR GENERAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED TO
    KEEP EXPOSURES BELOW THE AIRBORNE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:WEAR IMPERVIOUS GLOVES
