PPERSNICKETY® BRAND OXIDIZING CATALYTIC MEDIA FOR MALODOR CONTROL

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Hazard Summary: Sand-colored, granular solid with chlorine-like odor. This product contains corrosive material absorbed onto an absorbent material. If soaked in water, the resulting solution may be corrosive to the skin and eyes on contact. Do not mix with organic material or acids as an explosion could result.
Potential Health Effects:
Eyes: May be corrosive.
Skin: May be corrosive to skin.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Can irritate the nose and throat.
Inhalation: May be irritating to eyes and respiratory tract.

FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately wash eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Lift upper and lower lids and rinse well under them. Get immediate medical attention.
Skin: Wash off in flowing water or shower. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Immediately drink large quantities of water or milk. Get medical attention.

Flash Point: None.
Method Used: Not applicable.
Flammable Limits: Not applicable. Product is not flammable.
Extinguishing Media: Water fog. No dry chemical, CO2 or halon.
Fire & Explosion Hazards: Although this product is not combustible, soaking it in water and allowing it to evaporate can leave a residue that is an oxidizer. Solutions can react with acids and organic material to liberate chlorine dioxide, which is an explosion hazard.
Fire Fighting Equipment: Wear full bunker gear including a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Scoop up spilled dry material and place in an appropriate container for disposal. If the material is wet, the spill area must be rinsed thoroughly, as a corrosive residue may remain. Do not allow spilled wet material to evaporate to dryness.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not allow material to get wet, as a corrosive solution may result. Store separately from acids, reducing agents, organic material such as solvents, fuel, wood (i.e., pallets) and paper. Do not store in steel drums. After handling, wash hands with soap and water.
