Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dan
-
gerous, toxic, explosive, corrosive, noxious or polluting
fluids, vapors and gases. In such cases, install an ap
-
propriate collecting and disposal system and take pro
-
tective action for pump and environment.
➨
If the equipment is used in combination with
hazardous
materials
(e. g., in
medical-microbiological labora-
tories
) check all relevant safety and health require
-
ments and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use if necessary.
Incompatible chemicals and
agents
Possible results of mixing with
sodium hypochlorite (chlorine
bleach)
Acids or acidic compounds
(e. g. hydrochloric acid,
aluminium chloride)
Release of chlorine gas
Ammonia containing compounds
(e. g. ammonium hydroxide,
quarternary ammonium salts)
Formation of explosive compounds,
release of chlorine gas and other
hazardous gases
Organic chemicals
(e. g. solvents, polymers,
amines, oils)
Formation of chlorinated organics,
release of chlorine gas and other
hazardous gases
Metals (e. g. copper, iron)
Hydrogen peroxide
Release of oxygen, overpressure,
rupture of a closed system
Reducing agents
(e. g. sodium thiosulfate)
Production of heat, boiling
Guanidine salts
(e. g. guanidine hydrochloride,
guanidine thiocyanate)
Release of toxic gases, e. g. chlo
-
rine, chloramine, hydrogen cyanide
For example sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach)
➨
Avoid the formation of dangerous reactions / gases in
the BVC, especially in the collection bottle. If this is im
-
possible dispose of dangerous gases at the outlet of
the pump appropriately.
