Formaldehyde, polymer with 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Lay down exposed person in a well ventilated area and seek

medical attention immediately. If breathing stops give

artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult administer

oxygen.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse eyes with running water for not less than 15 minutes.

Keep eyes open during rinsing. Seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed

area with water and/or liquid soap. Seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical assistance immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, powder, foam or carbon dioxide.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in

a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon oxides).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Avoid dust formation. Carefully transfer the spillage to

waste containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in the same way as the original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with water.

Dispose of waste material in accordance with local

regulations by incineration.

Avoid discharge to the rivers etc.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling

exposure, be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the

appropriate international or national standards, such as a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store away from direct sunlight and at room temperature.

Remove source of sparks, flame or electricity.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 10 kg paper bag, larger 400 kg bag or a 500 kg flexible

container bag.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not

economically or technically feasible, and such waste

material will be disposed of by incineration. In principle,

it may be possible to recover larger spillages of

uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is not provisionally classified as harmful to human health.

The dust hazard will be minimised by appropriate handling

and storage.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise the

hazardous environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed

with inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of by

landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

must be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon

oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not normally be discharged directly

to the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery for re-use is not economically feasible.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None.
