3 . COMPOSITION AND INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Chemical Characterization: Mixtures
Description: Mixture of substances listed below with nonhazardous additions.
Hazardous Components:
13840-33-0 Hypochlorous acid, lithium salt 4 . FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with soap and water. Seek medical attention if
symptoms develop. Launder clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact:
In case of eye contact, check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately irrigate eyes with plenty of
running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed,
do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Seek immediate medical attention.
Information for Doctor
Product is an eye errant and corrosive to the skin. Treatment goal is dilution and removal. Gastric lavage may
be useful for ingestion exposure as emesis may produce esophageal damage. Treatment is otherwise
symptomatic and supportive.
5 . FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Decomposes slowly in water with the evolution of chlorine gas.
Non-combustible but accelerates the burning of combustible material.
Prolonged exposure of closed containers to heat may result in vigorous decomposition and rupture of the
container.
It will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels).
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters
Wear Safe Work Australia approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.

6 . ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures:
Wear Safe Work Australia approved self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Evacuate
all non-essential personnel from affected area. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not breathe dust.
Environmental Precautions:
In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up:
Stop leak if safe to do so and contain spill. Vacuum or wet sweep spilled material and place in an appropriate
container for disposal. Avoid generating dust. Using non sparking tools. Do not close containers containing
wet or damp material. They should be left open to disperse any hazardous gases that may form.
7 . HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of dust.
Food, beverages and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use.
Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and
other protective equipment before storage or re-use. Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close
proximity to points of potential exposure.
Conditions for Safe Storage:
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Protect from heat and moisture (water). Keep away from acids, urea and ammonia. Check regularly for spills.
8 . EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards (Safe Work Australia):
The product does not contain any relevant quantities of materials with critical values that have to be monitored
at the workplace.
Engineering Contols:
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapour below
occupational exposure standards.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Respiratory Protection:
Not necessary if engineering controls maintain airborne concentrations low. Use an Safe Work Australia
approved full face supplied air respirator if high airborne concentrations of the material are present. See
Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information.
Skin Protection:
Impervious gloves, protective clothing, chemical resistant apron and safety boots. See Australian Standards
AS/NZS 2161, 2210.1 and 2210.2 for more information.
Eye and Face Protection:
Safety glasses with top and side shields or goggles. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1336 and 1337 for
more information.
