combustible materials. Clothing, shoes or other combustible materials that have come
in contact with hydrogen peroxide must be immediately and thoroughly washed with
water. Discard shoes contaminated with Sterilant in a fireproof container. If Sterilant is
allowed to dry in the materials, a fire may result. IN CASE OF FIRE, use water only.
CONTAIN SPILLS and dilute with 20 parts water. SEE SAFETY DATA SHEET (SDS) FOR
