preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation adequate to
ensure concentrations are kept below exposure limits. Check legal suitability of exposure level.
Personal Protection Equipment RESPIRATOR: Use only respiratory protection that conforms to international/national standards - Use breathing
masks with dust filter P2 (AS1715/1716).
EYES: Use tightly fitting, chemical resistant safety goggles (AS1336/1337).
HANDS: Use suitable gloves of PVC, neoprene or natural rubber having a penetration time of 4-8 hours - Do not
leather or cotton gloves when handling a wet product (AS2161).
CLOTHING: For brief contact, few precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. When
prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur, use protective, full body clothing, such as PVC or rubber,
impervious to this material and safety footwear (AS3765/2210).
Special Hazards Precaustions Consult a health and safety expert for the selection of personal protective equipment suitable for the working
conditions.

General Information Oral route LD50 Rat (combined sexes): 1034 mg/Kg (OECD SIDS)
Dermal route LDLo Rabbit: >2000 mg/Kg (OECD SIDS)
Inhalation LC0, 1 hour, Rat: >4.58 mg/L/4h (OECD SIDS)
Irritation:
Eyes, severe damage: Rabbit
Skin, slightly irritating: Rabbit
Sensitization:
No sensitization was noted when administered as a 75% w/v mixture during induction and as a 25% w/v mixture at
challenge
Comments: Toxic effect linked with irritant properties
(a) Acute toxicity: It can be concluded that the existing animal data on acute toxicity show that sodium percarbonate
exhibits local irritation effects in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts and on the skin. Systemic effects are not to
be expected. Sodium percarbonate should be classified for acute oral toxicity, Category 4 based on the criteria of the
CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
(b) Skin corrosion/irritation: A human patch test performed with sodium percarbonate (York et al. 1996) and a valid
and reliable skin irritation test performed with rabbits Glaza 1990c) shows that sodium percarbonate is not irritating to
the skin.
(c) Serious eye damage/irritation: In test (BASF test) on rabbit eye corrosion, eye corrosion was observed.
(d) Respiratory or skin sensitization: A valid GLP guideline study was conducted with guinea pigs in which sodium
percarbonate was not a skin sensitizer.
(e) Germ cell mutagenicity: Data on the mutagenicity of sodium percarbonate are not available but it is likely that any
test results for sodium percarbonate will be similar to those of hydrogen peroxide due to the release of hydrogen
peroxide in aqueous media. The available studies on hydrogen peroxide, most of them, in particular the in vivo
studies, were performed according to OECD guidelines and GLP, are not in support of significant
genotoxicity/mutagenicity under in vivo conditions. Therefore sodium percarbonate is also unlikely to have any in vivo
genotoxic potential.
(f) Carcinogenicity: Carcinogenicity studies with animals and sodium percarbonate are not available.
(g) Reproductive toxicity: In conclusion, the available information supports the view that sodium percarbonate and its
dissociation products hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate do not act as reproductive toxicants or may reach
the developing foetus under the conditions of human exposure. It can thus be concluded that the substances should
not be considered as reproductive or developmental toxicants.

Safety Data Sheet Sodium Percarbonate Revision 3, Date 26 Oct 2014
(h) STOT-single exposure: The respiratory irritation can be explained by the elevated particle concentration in the
breathing air and the formation of hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate from the dissociation of sodium
percarbonate in the upper respiratory tract. The RD50 was approximately 700 mg/m3.
(i) STOT-repeated exposure: As it is expected that repeated dose toxicity of sodium percarbonate will mainly be
mediated by hydrogen peroxide, no observed adverse effect levels can be defined on the basis of its hydrogen
peroxide content. Based on the 90-day drinking water study according to OECD guidelines and GLP with hydrogen
peroxide and catalase deficient mice, the predicted NOAEL of sodium percarbonate would be 308 ppm (81 to 115
mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively)
(j) Aspiration hazard: Not relevant.
EyeIrritant Severe eye irritation, watering and redness, can cause burns to the eye. Risk of serious or permanent eye lesions. In
case of repeated contact: risk of dermatitis.
Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Severe irritation of the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. Bloating of stomach, belching.
Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation Slight nose and throat irritation. At high concentrations, cough. In case of repeated or prolonged exposure: risk of
sore throat, nose bleeds, chronic bronchitis.
SkinIrritant May cause skin irritation when exposed for long periods of time. Slight irritation. In case of repeated contact: risk of
dermatitis.
Carcinogenicity No component of this product presents at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as probable,
possible or confirmed human carcinogen by IARC.
Mutagenicity No component of this product presents at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as probable,
possible or confirmed human carcinogen by IARC.
Carcinogen Category No Data Available
