Reaction mass of N-(hydroxymethyl)hexadecan-1-amide and N-(hydroxymethyl)stearamide

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General information: Take off contaminated clothing.

· After inhalation: Supply fresh air; consult doctor in case of symptoms.

· After skin contact:

Wash with plenty of soap and water.

If skin irritation continues, consult a doctor.

· After eye contact:

Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water. If symptoms persist, consult doctor.

· After swallowing:

Rinse out mouth and then drink plenty of water.

Get medical advice for safety reasons.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

· Suitable extinguishing agents

Carbon dioxide (CO₂), extinguishing powder or water spray/fog. Fight larger fires with water spray/fog or

alcohol-resistant foam.

· For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents Water with a full water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Risk of dust explosion.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Carbon monoxide (CO) and Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Advice for firefighters

· Protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

· Additional information Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter drains.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Avoid causing dust.

Do not breathe dust.

Remove all ignition sources.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Environmental precautions: Do not allow to enter drainage system, surface or ground water.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Collect mechanically.

Send for recovery or disposal in suitable containers.

Dispose of the material collected according to regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Prevent formation of dust.

Any deposit of dust which cannot be avoided must be removed regularly.

Do not breathe dust.

Make sure that all applicable workplace limits are observed.

· Information about protection against explosions and fires:

Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.

Protect against electrostatic charges.

Dust can combine with air to form an explosive mixture.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

· Storage

· Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers:

Observe all local and national regulations for storage of water polluting products.

· Information about storage in one common storage facility:

Do not store together with oxidising and acidic materials.

· Further information about storage conditions:

Store container in a well ventilated position.

Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

· Personal protective equipment

· General protective and hygienic measures

Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.

Instantly remove any contaminated garments.

Do not breathe dust.

Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.

Use skin protection cream for preventive skin protection.

· Breathing equipment:

Use breathing protection in case of dust formation.

If all workplace limits are observed and good ventilation is ensured, no special precautions necessary.

· Protection of hands:

Protective gloves

Check the permeability prior to each renewed use of the glove.

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.

Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/

the chemical mixture.

Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the

degradation.

· Material of gloves

The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality

and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the

resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the

application.

· Penetration time of glove material

Protective gloves should be replaced at first signs of wear.

The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be

observed.

· Eye protection: Safety glasses

· Body protection:

Light weight protective clothing

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability

· Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided:

Avoid impact, friction, heat, sparks, electrostatic charges.

No decomposition if used and stored according to specifications.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Risk of dust explosion if enriched with fine dust in presence of air.

Risk of dust explosion.

conditions to avoid No further relevant information available.

Incompatible materials:

Strong oxidizing agents

Strong acids

Hazardous decomposition products:

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Carbon monoxide (CO) and Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

· Recommendation Disposal must be made according to official regulations.

· European waste catalogue:

Waste disposal key numbers from EWC have to be assigned depending on origin and processing.

· Uncleaned packagings:

· Recommendation: Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
