Section 4 – First Aid Measures
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids
open. Tilt head to avoid contaminating unaffected eye. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Do not reuse clothing or shoes until cleaned. If irritation develops or persists, get medical attention.
Wash with soap and water.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not breathing, give

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: None.
Lower Explosion Limit: N.A.
Upper Explosion Limit: N.A.
Extinguishing Media: Not flammable. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire.
Fire Fighting Methods: Evacuate area of unprotected personnel. Wear protective clothing including
NIOSHApproved self-contained breathing apparatus. Remain upwind of fire to avoid hazardous vapors
and decomposition products. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and disperse vapors.
Fire And Explosion Hazards: None known.
Hazardous Combustion Products: At elevated temperatures, product will decompose generating: Sulfur
dioxide
Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures
Spill Clean-Up Procedures: CORROSIVE MATERIAL. Evacuate unprotected personnel from area.
Maintain adequate ventilation. Follow personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8.
Never exceed any occupational exposure limit. Contain spill, place into drums for proper disposal. Flush
remaining area with water to remove trace residue and dispose of properly. Provide ventilation to clear
sulfur dioxide fumes which may be generated by the sodium sulfite component. Avoid direct discharge to
sewers and surface waters. Notify authorities if entry occurs.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Use with adequate ventilation. Do not swallow.
Avoid breathing vapors, mists, or dust. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area. Wash thoroughly after
handling.

dry location away from heat. Keep away from incompatible materials. Keep containers tightly closed. Do
not store in unlabeled or mislabeled containers. Keep containers tightly closed. Do not store in unlabeled
or mislabeled containers
Section 8 – Exposure Control / Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines:
Component
ACGIH TWA
ACGIH STEL/C
Engineering Controls: General room ventilation and local exhaust are required. Avoid creating dust or
mist. Maintain adequate ventilation. Do not use in closed or confined spaces. Keep levels below exposure
limits. To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed regularly.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles while handling this product. Do not wear contact
lenses.
Skin Protection: Prevent contact with this product. Wear gloves and protective clothing depending on
condition of use. Protective gloves: Impervious.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection may be required to avoid overexposure when handling
this product. If exposure limits are exceeded, wear: NIOSH-Approved respirator for dusts, mists, and/or
SO2 vapors as conditions indicate. NIOSH-Approved Supplied Air Respirator (SAR). NIOSH-Approved
self-contained breathing apparatus. DO NOT exceed limits established by the respirator manufacturer. All
respiratory protection programs must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 191 0.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements
and must be followed whenever workplace conditions require a respirator's use.
Other Protective Equipment: Eye-wash station. Safety shower. Rubber apron. Rubber boots. Protective
clothing.
