3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Summary: Hazardous properties of all ingredients have been considered in the preparation of this MSDS. Read the
entire MSDS for the complete hazard evaluation of this product.
Emergency overview: May cause severe irritation to eyes. May be irritating to the respiratory tract and skin.
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Crystalline Silica is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped. Give cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Obtain medical advice IMMEDIATELY.
Skin contact: Flush skin with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Start flushing while removing contaminated
clothing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during
flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
Ingestion: If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 200-300 mL (1 cup) of water to dilute
material. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus,
rinse mouth and administer more water. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY.

Extinguishing media: For large fires, apply aqueous film-forming foam or water in the form of a fog. For small fires,
use carbon dioxide or dry chemical.
Fire-fighting procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious clothing. Minimize the amount of
water used and contain the run-off from entering water supplies or the environment by dyking.
Other fire and explosion hazards: Thermal decomposition of the active ingredients may produce oxides of carbon
and nitrogen and noxious fumes. Explosive potential for dusts as with any organic dust (such as flour).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spills, leaks or releases: Wear personal protective equipment. For release to land, stop any further release and
spread of contamination, wash hard surfaces with detergent and water, then absorb with suitable absorbent. For
release to water, stop any further release and utilize damming and/or water diversion to minimize the spread of
contamination. Collect the spilled material, any contaminated soil, water and absorbent, then place in a waste
container for proper disposal. Notify applicable government authority if release is reportable or could adversely affect
the environment.
Deactivating chemicals: None known.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE INFORMATION
Handling procedures: Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing dusts, and contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after use. If clothing becomes
contaminated, wash thoroughly before re-use.
Storage requirements: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep containers closed and prevent moisture
contamination. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Storage temperature: Do not expose sealed containers to temperatures above 40癈.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eye protection: Use chemical safety goggles when there is a potential for eye contact.
Skin protection: Chemical-resistant gloves and protective clothing that is impervious under conditions of use.
Respiratory protection: NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator equipped with pesticide cartridges, if required.
Other protective equipment: Eye wash station.
Engineering controls: Provide local exhaust and/or adequate ventilation.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance: White to cream powder.

% volatile: Not applicable.
Evaporation rate (ether=1): Not applicable.
Vapour pressure (mm Hg at 20癈): Not applicable.
Vapour density (air=1): Not applicable.
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY DATA
Chemical stability: Stable at room temperature.
Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.
Conditions to avoid: Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 40癈
may result in some decomposition of dodine. Avoid moisture in storage.
Incompatibility with other substances: Strong oxidizing agents and bases.
Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition products are toxic and may include oxides of carbon
and nitrogen, and irritating gases.
