Administrative data

First-aid measures

General advice:

Consult a physician. Show the safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled:

If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

In case of skin contact:

Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician. In case of eye contact. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

If swallowed:

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

May liberate 2,4-pentanedione upon decomposition. 2,4-Pentanedione has the following toxicological hazards: toxic, irritant, neurological hazard, teratogen, possible mutagen, target organ - thymus. In humans, 2,4-pentanedione is reported to cause contact dermatitis and contact urticaria., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Remove contact lenses if worm. Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water. If necessary seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Suitable extinguishing media:

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Carbon oxides, Magnesium oxide

Advice for firefighters:

Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust.

Environmental precautions:

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters:

Components with workplace control parameters

Exposure controls:

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment:

-Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

-Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product.

Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

-Body Protection

Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

-Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Stability and reactivity

CONDITIONS TO AVOID:

Avoid moisture
