Description

Chlorine scavengers easily remove free and chemically combined chlorine from surrounding. Chlorine Scavenger developed with such formulation which is suitable for RO system feedwaters to protect membranes from oxidation damage by chlorine presence.





Product Details

Application

Chlorine scavengers are actives that react with chlorine or with chlorine-generating materials, such as hypochlorite, to eliminate or reduce the bleaching activity and corrosion effect.

Technical Specifications

Chlorine scavengers are substances that react with chlorine or chlorine-generating materials to eliminate or reduce their bleaching activity and corrosion effects, often used in water treatment and other applications to remove chlorine. 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION::

  • Appearance Pale yellow liquid
  • Specific Gravity 1.36
  • pH 4.7

Notes & Precautions

APPLICATION::

1. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems:

  • Protection of Membranes: Chlorine in feedwater can permanently damage RO membranes, leading to their replacement. Chlorine scavengers like AntiChlor 427 (a modified, odorless liquid sodium bisulfite formulation) are used to remove chlorine before it reaches the membranes.
  • Potable Water Systems: AntiChlor 30, a liquid dechlorinating agent, is used as a mild, non-oxidizing biostat or injected into RO feedwaters to protect polyamide membranes from permanent damage caused by chlorine. 

2. Other Applications:

  • Water Treatment: Chlorine scavengers are used to remove chlorine from water supplies, ensuring water quality and preventing chlorine-related issues. 
  • Industrial Processes: They are used in various industries, including pulp and paper, cleaning products, mining, bleach manufacturing, and plastics manufacturing. 
  • Detergent Compositions: Some chlorine scavengers are used in detergent compositions to prevent enzyme deactivation by residual chlorine. 
  • Fabric Softening: Chlorine scavengers can be used in fabric softening compositions to eliminate or reduce the bleaching activity of chlorine materials. 
  • Swimming Pool Water: Chlorine is added to swimming pools to kill germs, and chlorine scavengers can be used to remove excess chlorine.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
WARNING

Harmful if swallowed. Contains Sulfite. Causes asthmatic signs and symptoms in hyper-reactive individuals.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not take internally. Use with adequate ventilation. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water and seek medical advice. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water.
Wear suitable protective clothing. May evolve oxides of sulfur (SOx) under fire conditions. 

PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE

Skin, Eye, Inhalation

HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS - ACUTE

 

EYE CONTACT Can cause mild irritation.
SKIN CONTACT Can cause mild irritation.
INGESTION : Not a likely route of exposure. May cause asthmatic-like attack.
INHALATION : Irritant to respiratory system. Causes asthmatic signs and symptoms in hyper-reactive individuals.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE :  
Acute : A review of available data does not identify any symptoms from exposure not previously mentioned.
Chronic : A review of available data does not identify any symptoms from exposure not previously mentioned.
AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS : A review of available data does not identify any worsening of existing conditions.
HUMAN HEALTH HAZARDS - CHRONIC : Ingestion of sulfite can cause a severe allergic reaction in asthmatics and some sulfite sensitive individuals. The resulting symptoms can include difficulty in breathing, flushed skin and a rash. Chronic exposure to sulfites may cause symptoms of upper respiratory disease and affect sense of taste and smell.


EYE CONTACT :

Immediately flush eye with water for at least 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Get immediate medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT :

Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

INGESTION :

Induce vomiting if the patient is fully conscious. If conscious, washout mouth and give water to drink. Get medical attention.

INHALATION :

Remove to fresh air, treat symptomatically. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Get medical attention.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN :

Based on the individual reactions of the patient, the physician's judgement should be used to control symptoms and clinical condition.

SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING :

In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

 

 

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS :

Restrict access to area as appropriate until clean-up operations are complete. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel only. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not touch spilled material. Stop or reduce any leaks if it is safe to do so. Use personal protective equipment recommended in Section 8 (Exposure Controls/Personal Protection). Notify appropriate government, occupational health and safety and environmental authorities.

METHODS FOR CLEANING UP :

 

SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material. Place residues in a suitable, covered, properly labeled container. Wash affected area. LARGE SPILLS: Contain liquid using absorbent material, by digging trenches or by diking. Reclaim into recovery or salvage drums or tank truck for proper disposal. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water. Contact an approved waste hauler for disposal of contaminated recovered material. Dispose of material in compliance with regulations indicated in Section 13 (Disposal Considerations).
