4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Eyes
If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes
while holding eyelids apart. If symptoms develop as a result of vapor exposure, immediately move
individual away from exposure and into fresh air before flushing as recommended above. Seek
immediate medical attention.

Skin
Immediately flush skin with water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Seek immediate medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse and discard contaminated
shoes.

Ingestion
Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Vomiting will cause further
damage to the mouth and throat. If individual is conscious and alert, immediately rinse mouth with water
and give milk or water to drink. If possible, do not leave individual unattended.

Inhalation
If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air. Seek
immediate medical attention; keep person warm and quiet. If person is not breathing, begin artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.

Notes to physician
Hazards: No information available.
Treatment: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Measures
against circulatory shock, respiratory depression and convulsions may be needed.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable extinguishing media

Water mist, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry chemical

Hazardous combustion products

May form:, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides

Precautions for fire-fighting

Wear full firefighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear), and respiratory protection (SCBA). Use
water spray to cool fire exposed containers and structures until fire is out if it can be done with minimal

necessary when fighting fires involving this product.

Methods for cleaning up

Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up
has been completed. Stop spill at source. Dike to prevent spreading. Absorb with inert material. The
absorbent (and surface soil to a depth sufficient to remove all microbiocide) is then shoveled into a pail
or drum and treated with enough decontaminant solution to wet the solid thoroughly. Let these
containers stand open for 48 hours to avoid the buildup of pressure, then seal and dispose of by burying
as landfill. The decontaminated area is washed with additional decontaminant solution and then flushed
into a chemical or municipal sewer. Do not discharge spills and cleaning runoffs into open bodies of
water. Remove clothing promptly; launder before reuse. Wash skin with soap and water.
Decontaminant solution: sodium bisulfite solutions (about 11% solids content) decompose the product
rapidly. Laboratory tests indicate that the microbiocide is almost completely deactivated within 30
minutes when treated with at least 4 equivalents of decontaminating solution. A volume ratio of 20/1
decontaminant/active microbiocide is recommended. The following solutions are acceptable
decontaminants: Ingredient: sodium metabisulfite (weight = 1 pound) + water (weight = 8 pounds).
Total 9 pounds. Solids content = 11.1%. pH = 4.2. Ingredient: sodium bisulfite (weight 1 pound +
water (weight 8.3 pounds). Total 9.3 pounds. Solids content = 10.7%. pH = 4.2. Ingredient: sodium
sulfite (weight = 1 pound) + water (weight = 7 pounds) + hydrochloric acid (37%) (weight = 0.67
pounds). Total 8.67 pounds. Solids content = 9.5%. pH = 5-5.5. Note: Decontaminant solution must
have pH on the acid side; since it is much less effective when alkaline. In converting sodium sulfite to
the bisulfite, dissolve the salt in water and slowly add the acid with good agitation to prevent liberation
of sulfur dioxide caused by local excess of acid. Keep containers of decontaminant solution closed or
covered to reduce accumulation of sulfur dioxide in the workplace (ACGIH Threshold Limit Value: 2
ppm). The solutions should be made fresh as needed. Personnel making up or handling decontaminant
solutions should wear goggles or face shield and rubber gloves. Scoop and sweep up all spilled product
and other contaminated materials and place in marked disposal containers. If possible, clean up spill
area on a dry basis and then flush with plenty of water. Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or
other absorbent material.

Handling
Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain
product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be
observed.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from incompatible substances.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guidelines

General advice
These recommendations provide general guidance for handling this product. Personal protective
equipment should be selected for individual applications and should consider factors which affect
exposure potential, such as handling practices, chemical concentrations and ventilation. It is ultimately
the responsibility of the employer to follow regulatory guidelines established by local authorities.

Exposure controls
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure
below exposure guidelines (if applicable) or below levels that cause known, suspected or apparent
adverse effects. Mechanical ventilation systems used to ventilate corrosive storage or process areas must
be designed with components that are corrosion resistant.

Eye protection
Chemical splash goggles and face shield (8" min.) in compliance with OSHA regulations are
advised; however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. (Consult your industrial
hygienist.)

Skin and body protection

Wear appropriate chemical impervious clothing and boots whenever there is potential for skin
contact with product. Launder clothing before reuse. Maintain safety shower at all locations where skin
contact could occur. Contact your local safety equipment supplier to assist the facility in determining
proper selection of personal protective equipment for the applications/operations present at your facility.
Other protective equipment: eyewash station, emergency shower.
Wear resistant gloves such as:
Neoprene
Nitrile rubber
butyl-rubber

ISOTHIOCIDE Version: 1.4
35620

Respiratory protection
If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see exposure
guidelines), a NIOSH-approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper environmental
control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH respirators (negative pressure type) under
specified conditions (see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or administrative controls should be
implemented to reduce exposure. Exposures in the workplace should be monitored to determine if
worker exposure to vapor or mist air concentrations exceeds the facility specified exposure "action
level" or the use of the product produces adverse health effects or symptoms of exposure. Only a
NIOSH-approved respirator and cartridge (TC-23C) is to be used. Monitoring results must be used to
assess the proper level of respiratory protection necessary (such as: full face piece respirator with
chemical cartridges or self-contained breathing apparatus { scuba} , etc.). Proper engineering and/or
administrative controls should be used to reduce worker exposure. The facility's respiratory protection
program must meet the requirements established in 29 CFR 1910.134, which includes a program for
medical evaluation.
