4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with water. Continue until advised to stop by the Poisons Information
Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Keep patient calm.
Inhalation If over exposure occurs leave exposure area immediately. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and gently flush affected areas with water. Continue to flush with water until skin
no longer feels soapy. Seek medical attention. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion DO NOT induce vomiting. Immediately wash out mouth with water, and then give water to drink. Seek medical
attention.
Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically
First Aid Facilities Eye wash facilities should be available. A hand wash basin is also recommended
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Non flammable. No fire or explosion hazard exists. May evolve chlorine, carbon dioxide, inorganic salts and oxides
of sulphur when heated to decomposition.
Fire and Non flammable. No fire or explosion hazard exists.
Explosion
Extinguishing Non flammable. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways, absorb runoff with sand or similar.
Hazchem Code None Allocated
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spillage If spilt (bulk), notify local authorities if appropriate. Collect and reuse where possible. Wear a faceshield or dust-
proof goggles, PVC/rubber gloves, coveralls and boots. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear a Full-face Class P3
(Particulate) respirator or Full-face Air-line respirator. Collect and place in sealable containers for disposal. Wash
spill site with soap and water.
7. STORAGE AND HANDLING
Storage Store in cool, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents (eg. hypochlorites), acids (eg sulphuric acid) and
active metals (eg. sodium, magnesium, aluminium). Ensure containers are protected from physical damage and
sealed when not in use.
Handling Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin
contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating,
drinking and smoking in contaminated areas.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure TWA STEL

Standards ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3
CHLORINE - AVAILABLE NOHSC (AUS) 1 3 -- --
Biological Limit No biological limit allocated.
Values
Engineering Do not inhale dusts. Use in well ventilated areas - open doors and windows. In poorly ventilated areas,
mechanical extraction ventilation at source is recommended. Maintain dust levels below the recommended
Controls
exposure standard.
PPE Wear dust-proof goggles, rubber or PVC gloves, coveralls and a faceshield. When using large quantities or where
heavy contamination is likely, wear a PVC apron and boots. At high dust levels, wear an Air-line respirator. Where
an inhalation risk exists, wear a Class P1 (Particulate) Respirator.

Decomposition May evolve chlorine, carbon dioxide, inorganic salts and oxides of sulphur when heated to decomposition.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Hazard This product has the potential to cause acute and chronic health effects with over exposure. Use safe work
practices to avoid eye and skin contact and dust generation/ inhalation. Over exposure at high levels may result in
Summary
corrosive tissue damage. Upon dilution with water, the potential for serious corrosive effects will be reduced.
Repeated low-level exposure to chlorine may lead to chloracne and erosion of the teeth.
Eye May result in pain, redness, corneal burns and ulceration with possible permanent damage with prolonged
contact.
Inhalation Over exposure may result in membrane irritation, coughing and bronchitis. At high levels; intense thirst, ulceration,
lung tissue damage, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary oedema. Symptoms may be delayed following
exposure.
Skin Contact may result in rash, dermatitis, blistering and severe burns. Effects (eg. burning sensation) may be
delayed. Will have a degreasing effect on the skin.
Ingestion Ingestion may result in burns to the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and ulceration. Due to
product form, ingestion is not considered a likely exposure route.
Toxicity Data SODIUM METASILICATE ANHYDROUS (6834-92-0)
LD50 (Ingestion): 770 mg/kg (mouse)
CHLORINE - AVAILABLE (7782-50-5)
LC50 (Inhalation): 137 ppm/1 hour (mouse)
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environment WATER: If released to waterways, alkaline products may change the pH of the waterway. Fish will die if the pH
reaches 10-11 (goldfish 10.9, bluegill 10.5). SOIL: May leach to groundwater with toxic effects on aquatic life as
above. ATMOSPHERE: Not expected to reside in the atmosphere. Drops or particles released to atmosphere
should be removed by gravity and/or be rained out.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Disposal Neutralise with dilute acid (eg. 3 mol/L hydrochloric acid) or similar. For small amounts absorb with sand or similar
and dispose of to an approved landfill site. Contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.

15. REGULATORY INFORMATION
Poison Schedule Classified as a Schedule 5 (S5) Poison using the criteria in the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and
Poisons (SUSDP).
AICS All chemicals listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS).
16. OTHER INFORMATION
Additional RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid
exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken.
Information
Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air
powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.
WORKPLACE CONTROLS AND PRACTICES: Unless a less toxic chemical can be substituted for a hazardous
substance, ENGINEERING CONTROLS are the most effective way of reducing exposure. The best protection is
to enclose operations and/or provide local exhaust ventilation at the site of chemical release. Isolating operations
can also reduce exposure. Using respirators or protective equipment is less effective than the controls mentioned
above, but is sometimes necessary.
