Strong Oxidizing Agent

Oxidizing agents, such as SODIUM PERCARBONATE, can react with reducing agents to generate heat and products that may be gaseous (causing pressurization of closed containers). The products may themselves be capable of further reactions (such as combustion in the air). The chemical reduction of materials in this group can be rapid or even explosive, but often requires initiation (heat, spark, catalyst, addition of a solvent). Explosive mixtures of inorganic oxidizing agents with reducing agents often persist unchanged for long periods if initiation is prevented. Such systems are typically mixtures of solids, but may involve any combination of physical states. Some inorganic oxidizing agents are salts of metals that are soluble in water; dissolution dilutes but does not nullify the oxidizing power of such materials. Organic compounds, in general, have some reducing power and can in principle react with compounds in this class. Actual reactivity varies greatly with the identity of the organic compound. Inorganic oxidizing agents can react violently with active metals, cyanides, esters, and thiocyanates.

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.|Product: Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly flammable. Offer surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material.

AQUATIC FATE: In the presence of water, the granulaes or crystals of sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate are dissolved and transformed into hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate. Upon contact the hydrogen perxide oxidizes its target, then breaks down into water and oxygen, neither of which engender toxicological concern.

According to the 2006 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed in the industrial manufacturing, processing, and use of sodium percarbonate is 100 to 999; the data may be greatly underestimated(1).|NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 1,348 workers (570 of these were female) were potentially exposed to sodium percarbonate in the US(1). The NOES Survey does not include farm workers. Occupational exposure to sodium percarbonate may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where sodium percarbonate is produced or used(SRC). General population exposure to sodium percarbonate is negligible because of the instability of the granular product when used according to label directions(2).

Dermal absorption is assumed to be low due to the hydrophilic character and the ionic structure of the substance. When sodium percarbonate comes into contact with body fluids it will dissociate into hydrogen peroxide, carbonate ions and sodium ions. All three substances are naturally present in the human body.

Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate is transformed into hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate in the presence of water. The hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the critical cellular components of the target organism and thus kills them.
