Section 2: Composition and information on the ingredients
ANK-Neutral Anolyte contains active chlorine compounds such as HCLO and CLO- (C.ac in mg/l) in the range of 0,001-0, 09%. The average/standard amount of active chlorine is ~0, 05%. The solution contains no compounds as per the regulations for toxic compounds (67/548/EWG)
Section 3: Hazards identification
The solution is classified as non dangerous accordingly (88/279/EWG)
Main Hazards:
ANK-Neutral Anolyte in its strongest form (C.ac >600mg/l) may cause irritation to the eyes, sensitive skin and throat. Where the solution is stored in bottles one should try to smell or inhale the evaporations.
Health effects Eyes:
ANK- Neutral Anolyte in its strongest form may cause irritation to the eyes.
Health effects Skin:
ANK - Neutral Anolyte in its strongest form may cause slight irritation to sensitive skin or open wounds.
Health effects Ingestion:
Swallowing of the solution in its strongest form may cause irritation to the throat and digestive tract.
Health effects Inhalation:
During generation of ANK-Neutral Anolyte, particularly its strong form, unless there is adequate ventilation there may be a build up of fumes which may cause dizziness and nausea.
Section 4: First aid Measures
Eye contact:
Where irritation occurs flush with cool fresh water
Skin Contact:
Where irritation occurs wash the skin wash with soap and warm water
Ingestion:
Drink cool fresh water to flush through and dilute
Inhalation:
Remove at once to fresh air if dizziness and nausea persist seek medical attention
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
There are no special requirements for ANK-Neutral Anolyte .It is not flammable
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions:
None.
Environmental precautions:
The solution is biodegradable and has a limited activation period so there are no potential risks to the environment.
Spillage:
Wipe up with disposable towels there are no special disposal instructions.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Handling:
In the area where the solution is being produced there must be good ventilation. Preferably local exhaust ventilation. For those with very sensitive skin it may be advisable to wear gloves.
Storage:
Store in a cool dry ventilated area in sealed plastic containers and ensure the solution is correctly labelled
Section 8: Personal Protection and Exposure Control
Engineering control procedures:
Where the solution is being generated on site some engineering solutions should be implemented to prevent the build up of fumes particularly where productions facility has inadequate ventilation. Mechanical fume extraction may be advised in this situation.
Documented process, safety controls and personnel protection where necessary, gloves, mask etc.
Respiratory Protection:
Where there is a high risk to fumes build up due to inadequate ventilation in a processing area a respirator should be worn.
Hand protection:
Where service personnel have sensitive skin the strongest solution may cause irritation and therefore protective gloves should be worn.
Eye and facial protection:
There are no requirements.
Body protection:
Normal industrial work wears to avoid exposed skin when handling neat strong solution.
