4.First Aid Measures (Solution):

• Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Remove contact lenses & flush with water if applicable.
• Skin Contact: Promptly wash thoroughly with water for at least 5 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Wash any contaminated clothing well before re-use.
• Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, immediately rinse mouth, then drink plenty of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting but if vomiting does occur, keep airways clear. Seek medical attention.
• Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

5.Fire Fighting Measures

5.1 Special Fire or Explosion Hazards

• Negligible fire hazard. Product is not flammable itself, but contact with combustible material may cause fire. Product combustible if dehydrated by drying. Decomposes above 250OC with release of chlorine & other toxic fumes but no visible flame.
• A thermal decomposition can be extinguished by flooding with copious amounts of water or by isolating the decomposing material in open air and allowing it to be consumed. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and goggles. Do not approach from leeward.

5.2 Suitable Extinguishing Media

• Pressurised water only. Do not use dry fire extinguishers containing ammonium compounds, carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishers as potential for violent reaction. (Wear breathing apparatus)

5.3 Other Recommendations

• Remove the product if it is safe to do so, before using water for fire fighting, in order to minimise hazards from release of toxic fumes. It will often be safer to let the fire burn itself out. Where it is decided to fight the fire with water, large quantities must be used. If insufficient water is used there may be an explosion hazard associated with hot damp material.

6. Accidental Release Measures

• Refer to section 8 for personal protection when handling spillages.
• Any spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent contamination with foreign materials with which it may react – see section 10, stability and reactivity.
• Handle spillage carefully, do not return spilled material to original container. If tablets are dry and uncontaminated, collect up into heavy duty plastic bag; where possible and suitable, use material as originally intended. Wash away any residues with copious amounts of water.
• If tablets are contaminated they should be transferred to waste ground, spread thinly and covered with a thin layer of earth; a smell of chlorine will be noted until the material has degraded. Keep people, vehicles and animals away from the disposal area.
• If tablets become damp they will effervesce, evolving carbon dioxide and may decompose to give off chlorine fumes; transfer spillage to unsealed plastic bags avoiding any large masses of material within the bags and remove to waste ground for immediate treatment/disposal as above; avoid breathing fumes. Wash away residues with copious amounts of water.
• If spillage of tablets is large (more than 100Kg), place into bins lined with polythene bags and eliminate in accordance with locally valid disposal regulations.

7.Handling & Storage

7.1 Recommended Storage Conditions

• STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED PLACE WITH CONTAINER LID TIGHTLY CLOSED.
• Store away from all incompatibles and combustibles (see section 10). Moisture sensitive – do not allow moisture to get into the container Avoid high humidity levels. Do not allow water to get into container. Keep away from fire, heat, flame & direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children. Never store damp or contaminated material. Ideally store below 25°C.

7.2 Recommended Handling Precautions
See section 8 below.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

8.1 Control Parameter

 

 

 

 

8.2 Exposure Controls
Respiratory Protection: Where any dust in the breathing zone cannot be controlled with
ventilation, wear an officially approved respirator (NIOSH/MSHA or
equivalent agency, Filter AB2P2. Filter AB2P3.) for protection against airborne dust.

Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation where appropriate.

8.3 Eye Protection: If airborne dust concentrations are high, wear appropriate protective
Goggles to EN 166. Wash eyes with clean water where there is potential eye
contact.

8.4 Skin Protection: When handling large bulk quantities wear protective gloves. Wash
immediately if skin is contaminated. Remove and was contaminated
clothing and clean up equipment before re-use. Wash thoroughly with
soap and water after handling.

10.Stability & Reactivity

10.1 Stability:

The product is very stable if stored in a cool, dry well ventilated area with lid tightly closed.

10.2 Possibility of Hazardous Reaction: Under normal conditions of storage & use, hazardous reactions will not occur. Mixing this product with (liquid) acid solutions or ammonia will release Chlorine Gas.

Contact with water liberates chlorine and with nitrogen compounds may cause explosion. Avoid direct contact with organic materials; oils, grease, sawdust, reducing agents, nitrogen containing compounds, calcium hypochlorite, other oxidizers.

16.Other Information

SanicShield® Effervescent Chlorine Tablets – On contact with water decomposes to chlorine (1,000 ppm per 1 Litre of Water, Hypochlorous Acid & Cyanuric Acid – A chlorine stabilizer used in swimming pools.

Hypochlorous acid (ClOH, HClO, HOCl, or ClHO) is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and itself partially dissociates, forming hypochlorite, ClO−. HClO and ClO are oxidizers, and the primary disinfection agents of chlorine solutions. HClO cannot be isolated from these solutions due to rapid equilibration with its precursor, chlorine. Because of its strong antimicrobial properties, the related compounds sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2) are ingredients in many commercial bleaches, deodorants, and disinfectants. The white blood cells of mammals, such as humans, also contain hypochlorous acid as a tool against foreign bodies. In living organisms, HOCl is generated by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with chloride ions under the catalysis of the heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO).

Like many other disinfectants, hypochlorous acid solutions will destroy pathogens, such as COVID-19, absorbed on surfaces. In low concentrations, such solutions can serve to disinfect open wounds.
