5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Use water spray to cool container and prevent rupture. SPECIFIC HAZARDS Can react with some metals generating Hydrogen gas. Reaction with moisture may generate sufficient heat to ignite combustible material. PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS Wear protective clothing as described in Section of this safety data sheet. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS Neutralise small spillages with Sodium Bicarbonate or a mixture of Soda Ash / Slaked Lime. Shovel residue into clearly marked containers for disposal. Contain large spillages with sand or earth. Recover for re-use or salvage. 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE USAGE PRECAUTIONS Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from aluminium, zinc, lead, tin, acids and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Great care should be taken when dissolving in water (high exothermic reaction). STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Store in tightly closed original container in a dry and cool place. Keep locked up and out of reach of children. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Name PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Std WEL LT - ppm LT - mg/m3 ST - ppm ST - mg/m3 2 mg/m3 RESPIRATORY EQUIPMENT Wear suitable respiratory protective equipment if exposure limits are above the occupational exposure limit is likely.

Can react violently with acids and chlorinated hydrocarbons producing toxic gases. Produces Hydrogen on reaction with some metals 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION INHALATION May cause irritation to the respiratory system. INGESTION Will immediately cause corrsion of and damage to to the gastrointestinal tract. SKIN CONTACT Corrosive. May cause severe burns with permanent skin damage. EYE CONTACT Strongly corrosive. Causes severe burns and serious eye damage. Immediate first aid is imperative. Will immediately cause severe damage with formation of corneal ulcers and permanent impairment of vision. Other Health Effects Severity of acute effects is such that significant repeated or prolonged exposure is unlikely. 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION ECOTOXICITY May degrade water quality and promote algae growth. High concentrations will damage aquatic life. Concentrations sufficient to render effluent alkaline may cause damage to effluent treatment organisms. DEGRADABILITY Degrades readily by natural means. 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS It is unlikely that quantities of product would require disposal. Any product which cannot be used as recommended should be disposed of through a reputable disposal contractor in accordance with national regulations.
