1 MATERIAL SAFETY data PRODUCT IDENTIFICATIONC hemical Name:Sodium Hypochlorite :Bleach Hypochlorous acid, Sodium Salt, Soda bleach &Sodium Formula:NaoclMolecular codes:9416, AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIESA ppearance:Colourless to yellowish liquidOdor:Chlorine like odorSolubility:100% in point:40C(104F) Decomposer slightlyMeeting point:-6C (21F) AND REACTIVITYS tability:Slowly decomposes on contact with air. Rate increases with the concentration and temperature. Exposure tosunlight acceleration decomposition. Sodium Hypochloritebecomes less toxic with Decomposition Product:Emits toxic fumes of Chlorine when heated todecomposition. Sodium oxide at high Polymerization :Will not to avoid:Light, heat and IDENTIFICATIONP otential Health effects:Inhalation:May cause irritation to the respiratory that (Nose and throat; symptoms may include coughing and sore throat)Ingestion:May cause nausea and contact:May irritate contact:Contact may cause severe irritation and damage especially at higher Exposure:A constant irritant to the eyes and throat.

2 Low potential for sensitization after exaggerated exposure to damage of pre-existing conditions:Persons with impaired respiratory function, or heart disorders (or disease) may be more susceptible to the effects of AID MEASURES ( SAFETY Precaution):Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificialrespiration. If breathing is difficult, give Oxygen, getmedical attention :If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give largequantities of water.

Getmedical attention FIGHTING MEASURES:Fire:Not considered to be a fire hazard, substance releasesoxygen when heated, which may increase the severity of anexisting fire containers may rupture from pressure :This solution is not considered to be an explosion sodium hypochlorite is very Extinguishing media:Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers to dilute liquid and control information:In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing andNIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatuswith full face shield operated in the pressure demand orother positive pressure for every day Living
