Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

First-aid measures

General advice:

Remove contaminated clothing. If the patient is likely to become unconscious, place and transport in

stable sideways position (recovery position). First aid personnel should pay attention to their own

safety.

If inhaled:

Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. Seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.

On contact with eyes:

Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open. Seek medical

attention.

On ingestion:

Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. Seek medical attention.

Note to physician:

Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific

antidote.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

carbon dioxide, dry extinguishing media, foam, water

Specific hazards:

carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide

The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Environmental precautions:

Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Methods for cleaning up or taking up:

For small amounts: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of contaminated material as

prescribed.

For large amounts: Dike spillage. Pump off product. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with

regulations.

For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance

with regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks,

open flame. If exposed to fire, keep containers cool by spraying with water.

Temperature class: T2 (Autoignition temperature >300 °C).

Storage

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated

place.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Components with workplace control parameters

108-88-3: toluene

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Respiratory protection in case of

vapour/aerosol release. Particle filter with high efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or

149, Type P3 or FFPE)

Hand protection:

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)

Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,

corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):

e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other

Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove

manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.

temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice

may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eye protection:

Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

Body protection:

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting

boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of

dust).

General safety and hygiene measures:

Do not breathe vapour/spray. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and

clothing. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
