First-aid measures

Inhalation.  Remove to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest. Get medical attention.

Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if skin cracking or redness occurs.

Eyes: Immediately flush eye with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes holding the eye open. Avoid contaminating unaffected eye.  Seek medical attention if soreness or redness persists.

Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Keep patient warm and at rest. Give 240-300 ml water to drink ( only if patient is conscious). Repeat if patient vomits. Get medical attention immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Special hazards: Hazardous combustion products may include carbon monoxide.

Fire/explosion hazards: Combustible material.  Flammable liquid. Containers may explode when heated.

Extinguishing media: Suitable: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water mist.  Unsuitable: Water in a jet.

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Exposure controls and personal protection: Evacuate all non-essential personnel.  Avoid eye and skin contact, and inhalation of vapour.  Wear appropriate protective clothing.  Wear respiratory protection. Ventilate area.  Be aware of possible accumulation of vapour.

Environmental precautions: Keep away from drains, water and soil. Advise authorities if spilled material has entered water courses or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.

Clean up methods: Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth or spill control material. Collect and place in a labelled sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water. Put leaking containers in a labelled drum or overdrum.

Handling and storage

Handling:  Avoid contact with skin. Do not breathe vapour. Only use in well ventilated areas. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.  Provide emergency eye washing and shower facilities.

Storage:  Storage area should be cool and dry.  Keep away from direct sunlight.  Keep away from sources of ignition.  Use spark proof equipment and lighting.  Keep in a well-ventilated place.  Store in a bunded area.  For containers use glass, certain plastics, mild steel or stainless steel

Exposure controls / personal protection

Occupational exposure standards:       MAK/TRGS900 limit 5ppm (22mg/m3)

Observe normal hygiene standards:

Technical control measures: Use local exhaust ventilation if concentrations in air could exceed occupational exposure standard.

Respiratory protection:  Use positive pressure breathing mask if concentrations in air could exceed occupational exposure standard and techhical control measures are not feasible.

Eye protection:  Protective goggles with side-shields

Hand protection:  Breakthrough times >480 minutes: Gloves made from butyl rubber (>0.3mm thick), Neoprene™ rubber , nitrile rubber (>0.56mm thickness).

Body protection: Neoprene™ apron. Rubber boots.

Environmental protection: Defined as a volatile organic chemical under directive 99/13. No special limits apply.

Stability and reactivity

Stability: Stable under normal conditions.  May form peroxides on prolonged exposure to air and light.

Conditions to avoid: High temperatures and sources of ignition.  Prolonged exposure to air/oxygen and light.

Materials to avoid: Oxidising agents.

Hazardous decomposition products: Oxides of carbon on combustion.  May form peroxides on prolonged exposure to air.

Disposal considerations

Waste disposal: Dispose of as hazardous waste.  Recover or recycle if possible.  Otherwise incineration.  Dispose of in accordance with all local regulations.

Container disposal: Drain container thoroughly.  After draining, vent in a safe place.  Send to drum recover or metal reclaimer.
