Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: in the event of dust or vapor inhalation, take the victim into a well-ventilated room; ease breathing by medical means, do not give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation except in an extreme emergency; provide oxygen if breathing is difficult; consult a doctor immediately.
Contact with skin: remove any soiled clothing. Rinse thoroughly under running water for a prolonged period.
Contact with eyes: rinse thoroughly under running water for several minutes then consult a doctor or an ophthalmologist.
Ingestion: if ingested, see a doctor.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing agents: use all extinguishing equipment suitable for materials in the vicinity. When dissolved in water, a large amount of heat is released.
Specific risks: possibility of irritating or toxic fumes.
Protection equipment: wear self-contained breathing apparatus with a full-face mask and chemical protection clothing.
Accidental release measures
Personal precaution: prevent inhalation of dust.
Precaution to protect the environment: do not release into sewage system.
Clean-up: Sweep up and collect substance in containers then wash the floor.
Handling and storage
Handling:
- If ventilation is insufficient, wear suitable breathing apparatus.
- Wear appropriate gloves, appropriate clothes and protective goggles.
- When dissolving, slowly add the product to the water, never the contrary.
Storage:
- Store sealed in a dry place (Magnesium chloride is highly hygroscopic).
- Storage temperature: no limit.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Personal protection:
- Respiratory protection: to prevent the risk of inhalation, air the room unless powder is present. If there is a risk of inhaling dust and/or fumes, wear an FFP3-type mask.
- Protecting the hands: wear appropriate gloves.
- Protecting the eyes: wear protective goggles.
- Protecting the skin: Wear appropriate clothing
- Special hygiene measures: do not eat, drink or smoke while working. Remove any soiled clothing. Wash your hands after handling the substance
Stability and reactivity
Chemical stability: very hygroscopic, tends to become deliquescent.
Condition to be avoided: strong heating.
Materials to be avoided: chlorates. Hydrocarbons (fuels). Peroxycarboxy-2-furan (explosion). Water (possible heat release).
Hazardous decomposition products: magnesium oxide, chlorine, chlorine oxides. When heated to high temperatures, may release toxic hydrogen chloride fumes; when heated slowly, releases chlorine at 300°C.
Disposal considerations
Disposal of the product: dissolution and neutralization.
Handling of containers: slice down the container then use an approved disposal technique.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
