Administrative data

First-aid measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air.

Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing.  Wash affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.  Consult a physician if irritation persists.  Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.  Do not take clothing home to be laundered.

Eye contact: Flush eyes with water as a precaution.  If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Ingestion: Drink 1 or 2 glasses of water.  Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  IMMEDIATELY see a physician.  If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airway clear.  Do not induce vomiting: contains petroleum distillates and/or aromatic solvents.  Careful gastric lavage may be indicated.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Use the following extinguishing media when fighting fires involving this material:  Carbon dioxide (CO2)  Dry chemical  Water spray  Foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media: No data available

Hazardous combustion products: No data available

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers may rupture via pressure build-up when exposed to fire or extreme heat.  Combustion generates toxic fumes of the following:  Carbon oxides  Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Fire Fighting Procedures: Move containers promptly out of fire zone.  If removal is impossible, cool containers with water spray.  Remain upwind.  Avoid breathing smoke.  Contain run-off

Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit

Accidental release measures

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Keep spectators away.  Eliminate all ignition sources.  Ventilate the area.  Avoid breathing vapor.  Floor may be slippery; use care to avoid falling.  Contain spills immediately with inert materials (e.g., sand, earth).  Transfer liquids and solid diking material to separate suitable containers for recovery or disposal.  CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Wash after handling and shower at end of work period.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Avoid temperature extremes during storage; ambient temperature preferred.  Store away from excessive heat (e.g. steampipes,radiators), from sources of ignition and from reactive materials.  Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.  Store out of direct sunlight in a cool place

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 100 ft/min. (0.5 m/sec.) at the point of vapor evolution.

Protective measures: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.  

Hand protection: Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is handled.  The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. (Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection):  Neoprene gloves  Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough.  Rinse and remove gloves immediately after use.  Wash hands with soap and water.  

Other protection: Use chemically resistant apron or other impervious clothing to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.

Eye/face protection: Use chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).

Respiratory protection: Use certified respiratory protection equipment meeting EU requirements(89/656/EEC, 89/686/EEC ), or equivalent, when respiratory risks cannot be avoided or sufficiently limited by technical means of collective protection or by measures, methods or procedures of work organization.
