Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. 2 / 7
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Dilute with plenty of water. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. This product is miscible in water. Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Keep away from combustible material. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Store locked up. Do not store around flammable or combustible materials. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). This mixture has no ingredients that have PEL, TLV, or other recommended exposure limit. No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. General ventilation normally adequate. Provide eyewash station. Eye wash fountain and emergency showers are recommended. An eye wash and safety shower must be available in the immediate work area. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Eye wash fountains are required. Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations 9. Physical and chemical properties Appearance Odor Physical state Form Color Odor threshold Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended. If ventilation is not sufficient to effectively prevent buildup of aerosols or mists, appropriate NIOSH/MSHA respiratory protection must be provided. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Keep away from food and drink. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Clear. Liquid. Liquid. ph 6-8 Colorless. Odorless.

Ecological information Ecotoxicity Persistence and degradability Bioaccumulative potential Mobility in soil Other adverse effects 13. Disposal considerations Disposal instructions Local disposal regulations Hazardous waste code This product is not expected to cause reproductive or developmental effects. May cause respiratory irritation. May cause damage to organs (blood) through prolonged or repeated exposure. The perchlorate ion competes with iodide in the mechanism that governs uptake into the thyroid gland for growth hormone production. This effect is routinely countered by ensuring sufficient dietary intake of iodine, as perchlorate does not accumulate in the body. Studies on workers in plants where perchlorates are manufactured have shown no thyroid abnormalities; various clinical studies are ongoing. Perchlorates occur naturally in trace amounts in the environment, and are not classified as carcinogenic. Not an aspiration hazard. Hazardous by WHMIS criteria. May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. The product is not classified as environmentally hazardous. However, this does not exclude the possibility that large or frequent spills can have a harmful or damaging effect on the environment. None known. No data available. No data available. No other adverse environmental effects (e.g. ozone depletion, photochemical ozone creation potential, endocrine disruption, global warming potential) are expected from this component. Collect and reclaim or dispose in sealed containers at licensed waste disposal site. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations. Small amounts may be flushed with water to sewer. Larger volumes must be sent to approved plant for destruction. Dispose in accordance with all applicable regulations. The waste code should be assigned in discussion between the user, the producer and the waste disposal company. 5 / 7
