Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

- General advice:

As in all cases of potential poisoning, Obtain medical advice immediately.

- Following inhalation:

In the event of exposure to vapors, immediately remove from the area to a fresh air environment and keep at rest. Obtain medical advice immediately.

- Following skin contact:

Remove contaminated clothes. Wash skin with large volumes of water.

If irritation persists, or any sign of tissue damage is apparent, obtain medical advice immediately.

- Following eye contact:

In the event of contact with the eyes, irrigate with water for at least 15 minutes; obtain medical advice if irritation or evidence of tissue damage persists.

- Following ingestion:

In the event of accidental ingestion, rinse mouth with water. Give up to one tumbler (half pint) of milk or water.

Obtain medical advise immediately.

Do not induce vomiting, obtain medical advise immediately.

- Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:

No specific data available.

- Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

In the event of fire, adequate extinguishers should be used. Avoid inhalation of smoke and fumes. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Use standard procedures and preferred extinguishing media as stated below.

Extinguishing media: Foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

No specific hazard known.

- Advice for fire fighter:

No specific advice.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions:

- Protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Adequate protective gloves should be worn when handling spillages. No smoking. Avoid naked flames or other potential sources of ignition (eg. electrical equipment).

Avoid skin contamination and inhalation of vapour.

Individual washing routines should be followed after any potential contact.

Ensure adequate ventilation in working areas following accidental releases.

- Environmental precautions:

Do not discharge directly into drains, air, into soil or into the aquatic environment.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

For containment:

Small spills can be wiped up with a cloth or paper. Standard absorbents can be used (saw dust, sand, vermiculite). Wear rubber gloves. Avoid contact with skin. If skin contact occurs, wash liberally with soap and water.

Any absorbent used for cleaning up spillage should be disposed promptly,accordingly to local regulation.

Gross spillages should be contained by any means, and disposal of this should be in accordance with

Government Regulations

For cleaning-up:

Spillages should be disposed of in accordance with Governmental Regulations.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Wear adequate protective gloves protection and eye/face protection.

No smoking. Avoid any sources of ignition.

Avoid exposing to high temperature during processing.

Do not ingest or apply to the skin as such. Good personal washing routines should be followed.

Maintain adequate local and general ventilation where product is handled.

Protective measures

Keep strict control of dust accumulation to a minimum. Maintain adequate local and general ventilation where product is handled. Avoid any sources of ignition.

Advice on general occupational hygiene

Good personal washing routines should be followed.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

It is good general practice to store in closed, preferably full, containers away from heat sources, and protected from extremes of temperature. Do not re-use the empty container.

Respect generals rules for compatibility storage.

Exposure controls / personal protection

- Control parameters

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values

Derived No Effect Level (DNEL)

No data available

Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC)

No data available

- Exposure controls

Avoid exposing to high temperature during processing.

Maintain adequate local and general ventilation where product is handled.

- Appropriate engineering controls

Maintain adequate local and general ventilation where product is handled and dispensed.

- Environmental exposure controls

Not available at this time. Minimize release to the environment.

- Personal protection

Respiratory protection: Where ventilation (LEV) is inadequate to prevent any inhalation of substances, use

adequate respiratory apparatus.; avoid breathing vapors.

Hand protection:  Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN 374: Protective gloves against

chemicals. Preferred glove barrier materials: Neoprene and Nitrile. When prolonged or frequently repeated

contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 4 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 120 minutes

according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of

1 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 10 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Thickness > or

= 0,2mm.

NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace

should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which

may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body

reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Eye protection: Adequate safety glasses should be used.

Skin protection: Wear protective clothing, overall if necessary to limit the odour contamination of personal

clothing. Individual washing routines should be followed after any potential contact.

Stability and reactivity

1. Reactivity

No reaction known with water.

2. Chemical stability

Presents no significant reactivity hazard. Normally stable even at elevated temperatures and pressures. Avoid temperatures above or near to the flash point. Not pyrophoric nor reactive with water. Does not undergo explosive decomposition, is shock stable, and is not an oxygen donor. Does not form explosive mixtures with other organic materials. Will not undergo hazardous exothermic polymerization.

3. Possibility of hazardous reactions

None known.

4. Conditions to avoid

Avoid temperatures above or at least 5 °C below flash point for any flammable liquids. Do not heat closed containers. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents.

5. Incompatible materials

Avoid strong oxidizing agents.

6. Hazardous decomposition products

Contact with water or storage under recommended conditions for one year should not produce dangerous decomposition products.

Disposal considerations
