• Stabilized dichlor shock — dissolves quickly for weekly oxidation
• Blended formulation: the aluminium sulfate in the mix acts as the clarifier that polishes the water
• Single-use 400 g pouches, twelve to the case

Safety information

• Signal word: DANGER
• Classification: Oxidizing solids — Category 2. Acute toxicity (inhalation) — Category 2. Acute toxicity (oral) — Category 4. Skin corrosion — Category 1C. Corrosive to metals — Category 1. Serious eye damage — Category 1. Reproductive toxicity — Category 2. Specific target organ toxicity, single exposure — Category 3 (respiratory system). Acute and chronic aquatic toxicity — Category 1.
• H272 May intensify fire; oxidizer.
• H290 May be corrosive to metals.
• H302 Harmful if swallowed.
• H314 Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
• H318 Causes serious eye damage.
• H330 Fatal if inhaled.
• H335 May cause respiratory irritation.
• H361 Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child.
• H400 Very toxic to aquatic life.
• H410 Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.

Handling

• Obtain special instructions before use, and do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
• Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing dust or fumes.
• Never add water to the product — always add product to large quantities of water.
• Use clean, dry utensils, and do not add this product to any dispensing device containing remnants of another product.
• Avoid contamination with moisture, organic matter or other chemicals.
• Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling; remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
• The vapour space in a closed container may contain a slight amount of chlorine gas from decomposition of the product — open with care.
• Avoid release to sewers, watersheds and water systems.

Personal protective equipment

• Hands: chemical-resistant gloves
• Eyes: chemical safety goggles
• Body: protective clothing to prevent skin contact — long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Feet: chemical-resistant boots
• Respiratory: an officially approved respirator with a chemical cartridge for protection against chlorine gas and dust
• Ventilation: general room ventilation plus local exhaust at points of emission

Storage

Keep the material dry and in a dry area. Store in the original container, retie the polyethylene liner and keep the container tightly closed. Store where temperatures do not exceed 52 °C (125 °F) for 24 hours. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage.

Incompatible materials

Do not get water inside the container — wet material may generate nitrogen trichloride, an explosion hazard, and contact with water forms sulphuric acid. Incompatible with easily oxidizable organic material; ammonia, urea or similar nitrogen-containing compounds; inorganic reducing compounds; calcium hypochlorite; alkalis; acids; water; lime; aluminium and its alloys; carbonates; bicarbonates; strong oxidizers; zinc and its alloys; and metal nitrates. Contact with acids liberates toxic gas.
