CDB CHLORINATING GRAN(MED)

Storage

• Read label storage directions. CDB Clearon® is sensitive to heat and moisture and should always be kept in tightly closed containers. CDB Clearon® should be stored in a cool. dry. well ventilated fireproof area where the temperature never exceeds 60°C (140°F). Keep CDB Clearon® away from open flame. combustible or oxidizing materials and other chemicals. Do not store in areas where formulation is done. Since it is a strong oxidizing agent. do not store near reducing agents. other nitrogen compounds. strong acids. alkalis or any reactive material. Do not store near other CDB® products. CDB Clearon® should be stacked on pallets a maximum of three drums high. The storage area should be protected by high - volume sprinklers.
• If CDB Clearon® is not involved but threatened by a fire. use carbon dioxide as an extinguisher. If CDB Clearon® is involved in a fire. firefighters should adhere to the following procedures. Wear a NIOSH/MSHA - approved. positive pressure. self - contained breathing apparatus and flood the area with large quantities of water. Ventilate the building to help remove smoke and gasses. Once the containers can be handled. isolate them in an open. well ventilated area. Flood with large volumes of water. Keep container contents from entering storm drains. Follow label directions for proper disposal of product and container.
• Clean contaminated clothing before reuse. Damaged or wet containers should be moved to an isolated area. For help with safety and health emergencies involving Clearon products contact Clearon Corp. at 304 - 746 - 3000. For transportation emergencies contact Chemtrec at 1 - 800 - 424 - 9300.

Handling

• Because CDB Clearon is a strong oxidizing agent and sensitive to moisture. only clean, dry. non - metallic utensils should be used when handling. Mixing must be performed in well - ventilated areas. In a closed system. a dust collector may be used to recover fines and dust given off during mixing.
• Never leave a CDB Clearon® container open. Contamination with moisture or foreign materials such as dirt. sawdust. paper, oil, grease, or other chemicals (including pool chemicals) may start a chemical reaction. Do not put CDB Clearon® in any chlorinating device previously used with any other chemical (calcium hypochlorite. for example). Such use may cause a fire or explosion.
• Do not formulate with nitrogen - containing materials (ammonia. ammonium compounds. urea. etc.) other CDB compounds. or use in concentrated solutions or slurries. Such use may generate noxious. toxic. and potentially explosive fumes. Avoid contact with areas of heat build - up (hot spots) on mixing apparatus. New formulations should be tested in small quantities to determine compatibility and safety of the mixture. It is recommended that CDB Clearon be the last ingredient mixed into formulations.
• CDB Clearon® decomposes at 240 - 250°C (464 - 482°F). Decomposition results in the liberation of heat and harmful gasses, so avoid contact with any burning material. such as a lighted cigarette. Symptoms of decomposition are a stronger - than - usual chlorine odor. drums and bins that are warm to the touch or giving off white smoke. and a drum that is bulging.
• In case of contamination or decomposition of CDB Clearon® compound, do not reseal the container, If possible. isolate the container in an open. well - ventilated area. Flood with large volumes of water. Keep contents from entering storm drains. Follow label directions for proper disposal of product and container. Clean contaminated clothing before reuse.
