1 Product Name: CLEENOL HI-POWER EFFERVESCENT CHLORINE TABLETS Address: Gompels HealthCare Ltd No.1 Swift Way Bowerhill Ind. Est. Melksham Wiltshire SN12 6GX For technical and non-emergency calls: Tel: Fax: Composition/information on ingredients Product description: Cleenol Hi-Power Effervescent Chlorine Tablets are fast dissolving, highly convenient and a more accurate and safe alternative to liquid bleach. They are effective for general disinfecting clean non-absorbent surfaces, food preparation areas, drains, sinks, etc. and blood spillages. Can be used against HIV (Aids) and hepatitis B virus. The tablets have a shelf life in excess of 3 years, unlike bleach which degrades with age. They are compatible with neutral detergents for making a one stage cleaning and sanitizing solution. Directions for Use: Each chlorine tablet gives 1000ppm of chlorine in 1 litre of water. For food preparation areas, equipment and utensils - 200ppm. For drains, toilets, etc - 400ppm. For general disinfection ppm. For blood spillages - 10,000ppm. To sanitise vegetables and salads - dilute 1 tablet per 40 litres of cold water. Immerse salad in solution for minimum 15 minutes. If salad is not to be consumed within 24 hours, use 2 tablets in 40 litres cold water. Do not allow solution to fall below 20ppm available chlorine, either by regularly replacing with fresh solution every 3-4 hours or by testing the chlorine levels regularly. Testing strips (Code PT631) and other testing equipment are available from Palintest Ltd. Tel: ( Ingredients EINECS CAS NO. CONTENTS SYMBOL RISK NO.

Skin: Wash off thoroughly with water whilst removing contaminated clothing. Wash any contaminated clothing well before re-use. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water and seek medical advice. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, if irritation persists seek medical advice. In all cases, if symptoms persist, seek medical advice and show this information sheet. Note for Medical Practitioners : This information is registered with the National Poisons Information Service. 5. Fire fighting measures Fire or explosion hazards: Extinguishing media: Protective measures in fire: Other recommendations: Product is not flammable itself, but contact with combustible material may cause fire. Product combustible if dehydrated by drying. Decomposes above 250oC with release of chlorine and other toxic fumes. Use pressurised water or dry powder. Do not use dry fire extinguishers containing ammonium compounds. A thermal decomposition can be extinguished by flooding with copious amounts of water or by isolating the decomposing material in open air and allowing it to be consumed. Do not breathe fumes in fire situation. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and goggles. Do not approach fire from leeward. Remove the product if it is safe to do so before using water for fire fighting in order to minimise hazards from release of toxic fumes. It will often be safer to let the fire burn itself out. Where it is decided to fight the fire with water, large quantities must be used. If insufficient water is used there may be an explosion hazard associated with hot damp material. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Spill clean up methods: Protection of environment: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Extinguish all ignition sources. Any spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent contamination with foreign materials with which it may react see Section 10. Handle spillage carefully. Do not return spilled material to original container. If tablets are dry and uncontaminated, collect up into heavy duty plastic bag. Where possible and suitable, use material as originally intended. Wash away any residues with copious amounts of water. If tablets are contaminated, they should be transferred to waste ground, spread thinly and covered with a thin layer of earth. A smell of chlorine will be noted until the material has degraded. Keep people, vehicles and animals away from disposal area. If tablets become damp they will effervesce, evolving carbon dioxide and may decompose to give off chlorine fumes. Transfer spillage to unsealed plastic bags avoiding any large masses of material within the bags and remove to waste ground for immediate treatment / disposal as above. Avoid breathing fumes. Wash away residues with copious amounts of water. Large spills or uncontrolled discharges into rivers or streams must be reported to the Environment Agency or other regulatory body.

When handling large quantities of tablets, wear chemical resistant gloves and safety goggles. Wash thoroughly after handling. Storage precautions: Store away from all incompatibles and combustibles (see Section 10). Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area. Moisture sensitive. Avoid high humidity levels. Keep the container tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from heat, flame and direct sunlight. Never store damp or contaminated material. 8. Exposure controls / personal protection Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation where appropriate. Respirators: Protective gloves: Eye protection: Other protection: Where any dust in the breathing zone cannot be controlled with ventilation, wear an offcially approved respirator for protection against airbourne dust. When handling large quantities of tablets, wear chemical resistant gloves. When handling large quantities of tablets, wear saftey googles. 9. Physical and chemical properties Appearance: white flat bevelled tablets. Odour: Characteristic chlorine odour. Solubility: Soluble Flash point: Melting point: 10. Stability and reactivity Materials to avoid: Conditions to avoid: Contact with water liberates chorine and with nitrogen compounds may cause explosion. Avoid organic materials, oils, grease, sawdust, reducing agents, nitrogen containing compounds, calcium hypochlorite, other oxidizers, acids, alkalis, cationic and certain non-ionic surfactants. Do not mix with any other chemical product. Do not store on or near heat sources or naked flame. Avoid moisture. NaDCC decomposes at temperatures above 240oC liberating toxic gas. 11.
