Ratings
Health: 1 (Slight) Flammability: 0 (None) Reactivity: 0 (None)

Protective Equipment: Goggles, Plastic apron, sleeves and boots Storage Color Code: Orange (General)

Health Effects Inhalation Granular grade material does not have a significant inhalation hazard. Inhalation of dust may irritation to the respiratory organs. Symptoms: coughing and shortness of breath.

Ingestion Low toxicity chemical. Ingestion causes irritation of the mucous membranes due to heat of hy

Large amounts can cause gastrointestinal problems, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Skin Contact Solid calcium chloride might cause mild skin irritation (dry skin). Aqueous solutions or solid in with wet skin might cause severe irritation or burns. Eye Contact Causes mechanical abrasion or burns from heat of hydrolysis and chloride irritation. Exposure Limits: Not established Chronic Exposure: No information found Aggravation of pre-existing Conditions: No information found

First Aid Measures

Inhalation Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air, give artificial respiration. Give ox Seek medical attention. Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. If conscious, induce vomiting immediately as directed by personnel. If conscious, give 300-500 ml of water. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact Remove contaminated clothing. Flush skin with warm running water. Remove contaminated c and shoes.Seek medical attention.

Eye Contact Immediately flush the contaminated eyes with water holding the eyelids open. Seek medical a immediately.

Fire Fighting Measures Not considered to be a fire hazard.

Explosion Not considered to be an explosion hazard.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions. Might absorb moisture from the air and tur solution if kept in open containers. Hazardous Decomposition Products: When heated to decomposition produces toxic c fumes. In the presence of sulphuric or phosphoric acids might form hydrogen chloride Hazardous Polymerization: None. Incompatibilities: Methyl vinyl ether, water, zinc, bromine trifluoride, mixtures of lime a

acid, barium chloride, and 2-furan percarboxylic acid. Metals will corrode in aqueous chloride solutions especially aluminium (alloys) and brass.

Storage and Handling

Store in a tightly closed container in cool, dry and ventilated area. Protect against mechanical Wet calcium chloride and concentrated solutions could corrode steel tanks. When exposed ca chloride will absorb moisture and form a solution. Containers previously used to store calcium may be hazardous when empty since they contain product residues and leftovers.

Physical and Chemical Properties Appearance: White or gray-white granules / powder / flakes. Odour: Odourless. Solubility: Soluble in water, exothermic. pH: 8 - 9 for Aqueous solution Density: 2.15 Boiling Point: > 1600 C Melting Point: 782 C Vapour Density (Air=1): No information found. Vapour Pressure (mm Hg): No information found. Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found.

Environmental Information
