Section 3: Hazard Identification

Emergency overview:
Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause a fire.

Appearance: White crystalline solid .

Flash Point:  Not available.
 
Warning! Strong Oxidizer.

Target Organs: Eyes, Skin, Respiratory System

Potential Health Effects

Eye: Causes eye irritation.

Skin: Causes skin irritation.  May be harmful if absorbed through the
skin.

Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.  May cause irritation of the
digestive tract.

Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled.  Causes respiratory tract
irritation.

Chronic: Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis.






Section 4: First Aid Measures


Eyes: Flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting the eyelids.  Seek immediate medical attention.

Skin: Flush skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15
minutes, removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion: Give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water if the victim is
conscious and alert.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.  Seek immediate medical attention.

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air.  If not breathing, give artificial
respiration.  If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.  Seek medical
attention immediately.
 
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.




Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures


General Information:
	Flash Point: Not available
	Explosion Limits:
		Upper: Not available
		Lower: Not available

Extinguishing Media: Use water only! May require flooding with water
in order to eliminated hazardous reactions, since this material generates
its own oxygen.  Do NOT use dry chemicals, CO2, Halon, or foams.

Protective Gear: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH or European Standard EN 149
(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer.
Contact with other material may cause fire.




Section 6: Accidental Release Measures


General Information:
Wear chemical safety goggles, face protection, appropriate protective gloves
and protective clothing to prevent skin exposure, a self-contained breathing
apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH or European Standard EN 149
(approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.

Spills/Leaks:
Sweep up material and place in suitable disposal container. Keep all
combustibles away from spilled material. Provide ventilation. Avoid raising 
dust. 





Section 7: Handling and Storage


Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use adequate ventilation.  Remove
contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothing. Keep from contact with combustible materials. Minimize dust
formation and accumulation. Avoid breathing dust.

Storage:
Store in tightly closed container in cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep
away from incompatible materials.  Keep away from all combustible
materials.  Keep away from all reducing agents.




Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection


Engineering Controls:
Eyewash station and safety shower required.  Provide adequate ventilation to
keep airborne concentrations low.
