Extinguishing Media – This material does not burn. If exposed to fire from another source, use suitable extinguishing agent for that fire.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures –In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode at high temperatures or when moistened under fire conditions, calcium chloride may produce toxic or irritating fumes.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards – Not considered to be a fire hazard.

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid) – Methyl Vinyl Ether, Water, Zinc, Bromine Trifluioride, Mixtures Of Lime And Boric Acid, Barium Chloride, and 2-Furan, Percarboxylic Acid. Metals will slowly corrode in aqueous Calcium Chloride solutions. Aluminum (and alloys) and yellow brass will be attacked by Calcium Chloride.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Emits toxic chlorine fumes when heated to decomposition. May form hydrogen chloride in presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acids or with water at elevated temperatures.
Section VI – Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry:	Eyes? Yes			Inhalation? No			Skin? Yes			Ingestion? Yes
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic) – See Below
Carcinogenicity:			NTP?		IARC Monographs?				OSHA Regulated?
			N/A		N/A				N/A
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Eyes —Hazard may be either mechanical abrasion or more serious, burns from heat of hydrolysis and chloride irritation. Skin —Solid may cause mild irritation on dry skin; strong solutions or solid in contact with moist skin may cause severe irritation, even burns. Inhalation —Granular material does not pose a significant inhalation hazard, but inhalation of dust may cause irritation of the respiratory tract, with symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath. Ingestion —Low toxicity material but ingestion may cause serious irritation of the mucous membrane due to heat of hydrolysis. Large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset, vomiting, abdominal pain. Oral ingestion may cause serum acidosis.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated –None Known
Emergency and First Aid Procedures. Eyes—Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately. Skin—Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Inhalation—Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention Ingestion— Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Section VII – Precautions For Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section VIII. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet seeping may be use to avoid dust dispersal. Small amounts of residue may be flushed to sewer with plenty of water.
Waste Disposal Method – Dispose of container and residue in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing – Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Moist Calcium Chloride will absorb water and form a solution. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Other Precautions –KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Section VIII – Control Measures
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type) – For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, Use a NIOSH type $ or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. Warning: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Ventilation		Local Exhaust		Recommended				Special		Not necessary
		Mechanical (General)		Adequate				Other		Not necessary
Protective Gloves – Recommended						Eye Protection –Chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible.
Other protective Clothing or Equipment – Clean body covering clothing, eye wash station and quick drench facilities.
Work/Hygienic Practices – Observe good hygiene. Wash hands thoroughly after eating, drinking, and using restrooms, etc.
