SECTION 3: COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Based on our hazard evaluation, the following chemical substance(s) in this product have been identified as hazardous.
INGREDIENT CAS NUMBER PERCENT (w/w)
Sodium Chloride 7647-14-5 60 ?100 %
Sodium Carbonate 497-19-8 5 ?10 %
Alcohol Ethoxylate 68439-50-9 1?%
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until
no evidence of product remains. Get medical attention if pain or irritation persist.
SKIN: Rinse affected area with large amounts of water until no evidence of product remains. Get medical attention if
irritation persists.
INGESTION: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Maintain airway and respiration. If vomiting occurs, keep head
below hips to prevent aspiration. Dilution by rinsing the mouth and giving water or milk to drink is generally
recommended. If unconscious, the victim should not be given anything to drink. Contact physician or local poison control
center.
INHALATION: Immediately remove from exposure area to fresh air. Keep affected person warm and at rest. Treat
symptomatically and supportively. Contact physician or local poison control center. If breathing has stopped, give artificial
respiration, and get medical attention immediately.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: The physician's judgment should be used to control symptoms and clinical condition based on
the individual reactions of the patient.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES
OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION: Not applicable FLASH POINT: None
UPPER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT: Not applicable LOWER FLAMMABILITY LIMIT: Not applicable
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition may release toxic and/or hazardous gases
including toxic fumes of chlorine and oxides of sodium and carbon.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam.
PROTECTION OF FIREFIGHTERS
In case of fire, wear a full-face positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit. Move container
from fire area if you can do it without risk. Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to flames until well
after fire is out. Use flooding amounts of water as a fog, solid streams may be ineffective. Avoid breathing vapors; keep
upwind.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Wear skin, eye and respiratory protection as recommended in Section 8. Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to do so.
Spills present a slipping hazard. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Ventilate spill area if possible. Ensure clean-up is
conducted by trained personnel only. Make sure area is slip-free before re-opening to traffic.

Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid generating aerosols
and mists. Keep the containers closed when not in use. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks, etc.) readily
available.
