Single acute overexposure:

Inhalation:May cause respiratory irritation.

Eye contact: May cause respiratory irritation.

Skin contact: May cause skin irritation.

If swallowed, may cause gastric disorder.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS :

This product may possibly has no sever damage to aquatic organisms. When put and introduced in the bio-treatment plant under proper condition, degradation activities of activated sludge will not be restrained.

DANGER OF EXPLOSION:

This product is non flammable but when exposed to open flame or high temperature can cause combustion or produce toxic high temperature vapor.

INHALATION:

Break away offsite to the place with fresh air, keep respiratory tracts unobstructed. If hard to breathe, oxygen will be injected; if breathing is stopped, artificial respiration should be performed immediately. If breathing and heart beating stop, artificial respiration and cardiac compression to be done. Seek medical advice immediately.

IF SWALLOWED:

Do not let the unconscious person take anything orally and do not induce vomiting. Rinse your mouth and get medical attention immediately.

SKIN CONTACT:

Take off contaminated clothes immediately, wash with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical advice

EYE CONTACT:

Lift the eyelids immediately and wash them thoroughly with a large amount of flowing water or normal saline for at least 15 minutes; Get medical attention.

DANGEROUS CHARACTERISTICS:

Not self-ignition based on the structural characters

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION

PRODUCTS

It will form toxic vapor or smoke in case of open fire or high temperature. Explosive mixture may be formed via steam and air

FIRE EXTINGUISHING METHOD:

Fire fighters must wear full body fire retardant clothing, wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus, and fight fire upwind.

If possible, move the container away from the fire and into the open. Spray water to keep the fire container cool until the end of the fire. If the container in the fire is discolored or generates sound from the safety relief device, it must be removed immediately.

Extinguishing agent: soluble foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder, water mist.

HANDLING:

Strengthen ventilation. Operators must be specially trained. Smoking is prohibited in the workplace. Avoid static electricity during operation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and wash thoroughly after operation. Handle with care to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Appropriate leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate materials shall be provided.

STORAGE:

Keep vessels airtight. Vessels stored in cool, ventilated warehouses. Leak emergency treatment equipment and appropriate materials. When materials are kept in liquid phase, inert gas(nitrogen) to be used to seal in the storage tank to keep oxygen or air coming into. Long term exposure of materials to air or oxygen will lead to oxidative decomposition of materials. The stability of material color can be maintained by sealing with inert gas.

ENGINEERING MEASURES:

Provide adequate ventilation, safety shower and eyewash equipment.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

Respiratory:  Wear an air respirator when possible contact with steam and fog.

Eye :  Chemical safety glassed.

Clothing:  Wear appropriate protective clothing&boots.

Hand:  Wear acid-resistant rubber gloves.

GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES:

No smoking, drinking and eating at working site. Wash thoroughly after handling.
