5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard: Sodium Hypochlorite is not combustible.
No risk of hazardous polymerisation. Fire or heat will produce
irritating, poisonous and/or corrosive gases.
Fire extinguishing media: Small fire : Use dry chemical, CO2 or
water spray.
Large fire : Use dry chemical, CO2,
foam or water spray – Do
not use water jets.
Fire Fighters’ PPE: Wear SCBA and chemical splash suit. Fully
encapsulating, gas-tight suits should be worn for maximum
protection. Structural firefighter’s uniform is NOT effective for
these materials.
Special fire-fighting procedures: None.
Unusual fire hazards: A mixture with acids or heating can
produce toxic chlorine gas.
Hazardous products of combustion: Thermal decomposition in a
large fire may yield toxic fumes. Hydrogen chloride may be
produced.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or
flames) within at least 50 m. Do not touch or walk through
spilled material. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled
material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop
leak if safe to do so – Prevent entry into waterways, drains or
confined areas. Cover with DRY earth, sand or other non-
combustible material followed by plastic sheet to minimize
spreading or contact with rain. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE
CONTAINERS. Place in a suitable, labelled container for waste
disposal.
