Cool containing vessels with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Move containing vessels from fire if without risk.

Fire and Explosion Powerful oxidizing agent; may ignite oxidizable materials. Contributes to combustion of other materials. Contact with Hazards other material may cause fire and/or explosion. Avoid shock and friction. When contaminated, it is very sensitive. Contact with other material may form shock, heat or friction sensitive mixtures. The sensitivity to static discharge is not available. Container explosion may occur under fire conditions or when heated. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.

Section V. Toxicological Properties Routes of entry Inhalation and ingestion. Eye contact. Skin contact. Effects of Acute Harmful by ingestion, inhalation or skin absorption. Irritant. Can cause central nervous system depression. Exposure

Eye Causes irritation. May cause conjunctivitis.

Skin May cause irritation. May cause dermatitis.

Inhalation Material is irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Exposure can cause coughing, chest pains, difficulty in breathing, nausea, dizziness. See ingestion.

Ingestion Causes gastrointestinal irritation. May cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypotension, hemorrhage, anemia, hemolysis, methemoglobinemia, cyanosis, confusion, coma and convulsions. May cause liver (jaundice) and kidney (necrosis, hemoglobinuria, albuminuria, hematuria, anuria, nephritis) damage. Estimated human lethal dose from 10 to 30g. (SODIUM CHLORATE) Section V. Toxicological Properties SODIUM CHLORATE page 3/4 Effects of Chronic Repeated exposure to chlorates by inhalation or ingestion may result in toxic effects which appear gradually over weeks. Overexposure Initially, there may be abdominal pain, followed by internal bleeding, hemolytic anemia, lung damage (edema), liver damage (jaundice), kidney damage and cyanosis. Carcinogenic effects: Not available. Mutagenic effects: Not available. Teratogenic effects: Not available. Toxicity of the product to the reproductive system: Not available. To the best of our knowledge the chronic toxicity of this substance has not been fully investigated.

Section VI. First Aid Measures Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes holding lids apart to ensure flushing of the entire surface. Call a physician.

Skin contact Immediately flush skin with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.

Inhalation Remove patient to fresh air. Administer approved oxygen supply if breathing is difficult. Administer artificial respiration or CPR if breathing has ceased. Call a physician.

Ingestion If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Have conscious person drink several glasses of water to dilute. Induce vomiting. Lower the head so that the vomit will not reenter the mouth and throat. Seek immediate medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person.

Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Section VIII. Preventive Measures SODIUM CHLORATE page 4/4 Protective Clothing in Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves. case of spill and leak

Spill and leak Evacuate the area. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Sweep up and place in container for disposal. Avoid raising dust. Use non-sparking tools. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pick up is complete. DO NOT empty into drains. DO NOT touch spilled material. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood, paper, oil, clothing...). Spills of sodium chlorate must be promptly removed.

Waste disposal According to all applicable regulations. Harmful to aquatic life at low concentrations. Can be dangerous if allowed to enter drinking water intakes. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation water supplies, lakes, streams, ponds, or rivers.

Storage and Handling Store in a cool place away from heated areas, sparks, and flame. Store in a well ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials. Do not add any other material to the container. Do not wash down the drain. Do not breathe dust. Keep away from direct sunlight or strong incandescent light. Keep container tightly closed and dry. Manipulate under an adequate fume hood. Avoid raising dust. Use non-sparking tools. Avoid shock and friction. Do not drop, roll or skid container. Avoid contact with a combustible material (wood, paper, oil, clothing...). May catch fire in contact with combustible materials. Empty containers may contain a hazardous residue. Handle and open container with care. Minimize dust generation and exposure - use dust mask or appropriate protection. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. This product must be manipulated by qualified personnel. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash well after use. In accordance with good storage and handling practices. Do not allow smoking and food consumption while handling. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label when possible.).

Section IX. Protective Measures Protective clothing Splash goggles. Impervious gloves, apron, coveralls, and/or other resistant protective clothing. Sufficient to protect skin. A OSHA/MSHA jointly approved respirator is advised in the absence of proper environmental controls. For emergency situations, a self-contained respirator is recommended (NIOSH-approved). Do not wear contact lenses. Make eye bath and emergency shower available. Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower is proximal to the work-station location. Engineering controls Local mechanical exhaust ventilation capable of minimizing dust emissions at the point of use. Do not use in unventilated spaces.

Section X. Other Information Special Precautions or Powerful oxidizing agent; may ignite oxidizable materials. Harmful solid! Irritant! Do not comments breathe dust. Avoid all contact with the product. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Use in a chemical fume hood. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Contact with other material may cause fire and/or explosion. Contact with other material may form shock, heat or friction sensitive mixtures. Handle and open container with care. Container should be opened only by a technically qualified person. RTECS NO: FO0525000 (Sodium chlorate).
