Call a Poison Centre or doctor if you feel unwell or are concerned. Skin: Take off immediately contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods. Rinse skin with lukewarm, gently flowing water/shower for 5 minutes or until product is removed. If skin irritation occurs or you feel unwell, get medical advice/attention. Store contaminated clothing under water and wash before re-use or discard. SDS – Hydrogen Peroxide Solution, 30 - 32% w/w Page 1 of 8 SDS: Hydrogen Peroxide Solution, 30 - 32% w/w Eye: Rinse eye(s) cautiously with lukewarm, gently flowing water for several minutes, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for up to 30 minutes. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto the face. Immediately call a Poison Centre or doctor. Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Immediately call a Poison Centre or doctor. First Aid Comments: Consult a doctor and/or the nearest Poison Control Centre for all exposures except minor instances of inhalation or skin contact. All first aid procedures should be periodically reviewed by a doctor familiar with the material and its condition of use in the workplace. Attempts at evacuating the stomach via emesis induction or gastric lavage should be avoided. In the event of severe distension of the stomach or esophagus due to gas formation, insertion of a gastric tube may be required. SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures Fire Hazard Summary: Hydrogen peroxide solutions of 20% w/w to less than 35% w/w do not burn, but are moderate to strong oxidizing agents. Concentrations of 27.5% w/w and above can cause combustible materials such as wood, paper, oils and grease to burst into flames and will support, accelerate and intensify the burning of combustible materials in a fire. Some substances that do not normally burn in air will ignite or explode upon contact with hydrogen peroxide. Closed containers may rupture violently due to rapid decomposition, if exposed to fire or excessive heat for a sufficient period of time, or if contaminated with certain metals or dirt. Large amounts of oxygen gas may be released to form an oxygen-rich atmosphere. No part of a container should be subjected to a temperature higher than 49 °C (120 °F). Firefighters may enter the area if positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full Bunker Gear is worn. Extinguishing Media: Hydrogen peroxide does not burn. Use extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire. Use large quantities of water as fog to fight fires in which this material is involved. Combustion and Thermal Decomposition Products: Decomposes to molecular oxygen, which can accelerate the burning of flammable materials or cause spontaneous combustion. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures Spill Precautions: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel only. Wear adequate personal protective equipment. Ventilate area. Eliminate all ignition sources. Remove all flammable and combustible materials. Notify government environmental agencies if material is released into the environment. Clean-up: Do not touch spilled material. Stop or reduce leak if safe to do so. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways or confined spaces. Keep materials which can burn away from spilled material. SMALL SPILLS: Flush area with water. LARGE SPILLS: Dike with earth, sand or inert absorbent material to contain spill. Remove liquid with compatible pumps or vacuum equipment. Place in suitable, covered, labelled, vented containers. Flush area with excess water. Keep materials that can burn away from spilled material. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazards as the spilled product. SECTION 7: Handling and storage Handling: This material is a MODERATE OXIDIZER and is CORROSIVE to the eyes. Before handling, it is very important that engineering controls are operating and that protective equipment requirements and personal hygiene measures are being followed. People working with this chemical should be properly trained regarding its hazards and its safe use. Maintenance and emergency personnel should be advised of potential hazards. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, if necessary, to prevent eye contact. Eliminate all ignition sources (sparks, smoking, flames, hot surfaces). Keep away from heat. Never allow contact with materials which can burn. Post "NO SMOKING" sign in area. Consider using closed handling systems for processes involving this material. If a closed handling system is not possible, use hydrogen peroxide in the smallest possible amounts, in an area separate from the storage area. Avoid generating vapours or mists. Prevent the release of vapours or mists into the air. Immediately report leaks, spills or failures of the engineering controls. SDS – Hydrogen Peroxide Solution, 30 - 32% w/w Page 2 of 8 SDS: Hydrogen Peroxide Solution, 30 - 32% w/w Do not use with incompatible materials such as organic compounds (e.g. alcohols, ethers). See Section 10 for more information. Do not return unused or contaminated material to the original container. Prevent contamination of peroxide solutions by any source including dust, metals and organic materials. Do not allow water to evaporate from the solution. Do not perform any welding, cutting, soldering, drilling or other hot work on an empty vessel, container or piping until all material has been cleared. Maintain handling equipment. Prevent leaks of grease or other lubricants from equipment where this chemical is used. Do not allow contact with materials such as cleaning solvents, paints or thinners. Inspect containers for damage or leaks before handling. Cautiously, dispense into sturdy containers made of compatible materials. Use corrosion-resistant transfer equipment when dispensing. Whenever possible, use self-closing, portable containers for dispensing small amounts of this material. Add to cold water slowly, in small amounts and stir frequently to avoid excessive heat generation. Never transfer by pressurizing the original shipping container with air or inert gas. Secondary protective containers must be used when this material is being carried. Avoid damaging containers. Keep containers closed when not in use. Always assume that empty containers contain hazardous residues. Never reuse empty containers, even if they appear to be clean. Have suitable emergency equipment for fires, spills and leaks readily available. Practice good housekeeping. Comply with applicable regulations. Storage: Store below 35 °C. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight, away from heat and ignition sources and away from combustible materials. Storage area should be clearly identified, clear of obstruction and accessible only to trained and authorized personnel. Keep storage area separate from work areas. Store away from elevators, building and room exits or main aisles leading to exits. Post warning signs. Inspect periodically for damage or leaks. Ground floor storage facilities are usually recommended. For large scale operations, consider the installation of leak and fire detection equipment along with a suitable, automatic fire suppression system. When
