DANGER
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Liquid hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidant and poses a FIRE, EXPLOSION OR
CONTAINER RUPTURE HAZARD. Avoid excessive heat, contamination or contact with
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
additional information. EFFECTS MAY BE DELAYED AND A FIRE COULD START AT A
LATER TIME.
