FLASHPOINT (CELSIUS) AND METHOD: Not applicable AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE (CELSIUS): Not applicable LOWER EXPLOSION LIMIT (% BY VOLUME): Not applicable UPPER EXPLOSION LIMIT (% BY VOLUME): Not applicable HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen, hydrogen chloride fumes. EXPLOSION DATA SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT: None SECTION V SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE: None REACTIVITY DATA CHEMICAL STABILITY: YES IF NO, UNDER WHICH CONDITIONS?: Not applicable INCOMPATIBILITY TO OTHER SUBSTANCES: YES IF SO, WHICH ONES: Oxidizing compounds REACTIVITY AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS: None under normal conditions HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Burning may product Carbon Monoxide or Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen Chloride fumes. SECTION VI X X NO NO TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIAL ROUTE OF ENTRY: : SKIN CONTACT X :SKIN ABSORPTION : INHALATION ACUTE X :INHALATION CHRONIC X : EYE CONTACT X : INGESTION X EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE TO MATERIAL SKIN: Prolonged skin contact will cause irritation. Skin absorption will lead to nausea, vomiting, possibly leading to convulsions. Primary skin irritation study (rabbit) for the active ingredient showed signs of acute systemic toxicity (ataxia, cyanosis, apathy) after 24 hours. EYE: Eye contact will cause severe irritation or burning, possibly leading to loss of sight. INHALATION: If misted, causes irritation of mucous membranes, coughing and difficulty in breathing. INGESTION: Causes smarting and burning sensations, inflammation, burns and painful blisters of the mouth, throat and digestive tract. May result in severe swelling of larynx, paralysis of skeletal muscles affecting the ability to breath, circulatory shock and convulsions. ALGAECIDE Page 2 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO MATERIAL: OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: Skin irritation or dermatitis may occur upon frequent or prolonged contact. None known LD 50 OF MATERIAL (Specify Species and Routes): See Section II LC 50 OF MATERIAL (Specify Species and Routes): See Section II EXPOSURE (LIMITS): Ethanol TWAEV – 1000ppm IRRITANCY OF MATERIAL: Skin and eye irritant SENSITIZATION OF MATERIAL: None known SYNERGISTIC MATERIALS: None known CARCINOGENICITY, MUTAGENICITY, REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS, TERATOGENICITY: SECTION VII None known PREVENTATIVE MEASURES PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GLOVES (Specify): Latex or rubber gloves if skin contact is likely. EYE (Specify): Safety glasses/goggles if eye contact is likely. RESPIRATORY (Specify): None under normal conditions. OTHER (Specify): None ENGINEERING CONTROLS (e.g. Ventilation, Enclosed Process – Specify): None LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURE: Remove any oxidizing material. Absorb with synthetic or natural absorbent. and dispose. WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose absorbed material in accordance with federal, provincial and local government regulations. HANDLING PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT: STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Store in cool, dry area. Do not mix with other chemicals. SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION: SECTION VIII Avoid prolonged skin contact. Transportation: Class: Pkg. Group: P.I.N./UN: Not applicable FIRST AID MEASURES SKIN: Flush skin with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, call a physician. EYE: Flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and contact a physician. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, drink promptly a large quantity of milk, egg whites, gelatin solutions; or if these are not available, drink large quantities of water. Call a physician immediately. PHYSICIAN – Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Measures against circulatory shock, respiratory depression and convulsion may be needed. ALGAECIDE Page 3 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET SECTION IX PREPARATION DATE OF M.S.D.S.
