Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, support breathing; seek medical attention for irritation or breathing difficulty
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse skin with water for at least 15 minutes, seek medical help for burns
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for 15 minutes, hold eyelids open, call eye specialist immediately
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical advice
Most Important Symptoms: Redness, blistering, chemical burns, shortness of breath, coughing
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, CO2, or foam; do not use water jets in bulk fires as the product may react with water
Specific Hazards: Releases oxygen which supports combustion, can intensify fire
Special Protective Equipment: Wear full-body fire protection, self-contained breathing apparatus
Additional Advice: Avoid breathing fumes, remove containers from fire area if safe; cool exposed containers with water spray
Personal Protection: Equip staff with protective gloves, boots, goggles, and respiratory protection
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release into soil, drains, or waterways due to aquatic toxicity
Clean Up Methods: Sweep up spilled material carefully to avoid dust, place in properly labeled containers; ventilate area well; decontaminate area with large volumes of water, avoiding downstream contamination
Reportable Quantities: Notify emergency services if a significant amount contaminates the environment
Precautions for Safe Handling: Only handle with proper ambient ventilation, avoid direct contact with skin or eyes; use spark-proof tools and keep away from all ignition sources and organics
Storage Requirements: Store inside containers made of non-reactive material, away from acids, combustibles, heat, and moisture; keep packaging tightly closed and dry
Handling Advice: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use; practice good industrial hygiene, wash thoroughly after use
Exposure Limits: Sodium Percarbonate (5 mg/m3 TLV, ACGIH); Manganese Dioxide (TWA 0.02 mg/m3, respirable)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, eye wash stations, and emergency showers
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), splash-proof goggles, full-length chemical apron, particulate respirator (P2 or higher)
Hygiene Measures: Keep work clothes separate from street clothes, wash hands and face before breaks and at end of work
Appearance: White to off-white granular powder

Solubility: Readily soluble in water
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable (nonvolatile solid)
Bulk Density: 0.85-1.05 g/cm3
Oxidizing Properties: Strong oxidizer, liberates oxygen on decomposition
Chemical Stability: Stable under cool, dry conditions; decomposes on exposure to moisture, acid, or heat
Conditions to Avoid: Heat, humidity, direct sunlight, contamination with acids, organics, reducing agents
Hazardous Reactions: Violent reaction possible with strong acids, oxidizable materials, and some metals
Decomposition Products: Releases oxygen, water, sodium salts, and trace volatile organics
Acute Toxicity: Oral LD50 (rat) for sodium percarbonate: 1034 mg/kg; low dermal toxicity in rats
Skin Corrosion: Can cause severe burns and tissue damage
Eye Damage: Causes permanent or severe irritation, risk of blindness
Inhalation: Dust causes irritation of upper respiratory tract, coughing, difficulty breathing
Sensitization: No known sensitization with proper use
Long-Term Effects: Repeated exposure may damage mucous membranes and skin
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic life, especially at high concentrations; releases oxygen radicals toxic to fish and invertebrates
Persistence/Degradability: Breaks down into natural salts and water; does not bioaccumulate
Mobility in Soil: Highly soluble, may leach to groundwater
