N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxamide

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES

- Inhalation

If inhaled, move to fresh air. Rinse nose and mouth with water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

- Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if sympoms develop and persist.

- Eye contact

Rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Remove contact lenses if worn and easy to do, continue rinsing. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

- Ingestion

If swallowed, wash out mouth with water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

MOST IMPORTANT SYMPOTMS AND EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE AND DELAYED

To the best of our knowledge the toxicity of this substance has not been fully investigated, thus symptoms and effects are not fully known. May be harmful if swallowed. Irritation effects such as skin and eye irritation and to upper respiratory tract may occur. Other adverse effects cannot be excluded.

INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED

Treat sympotmactically and supportively.

Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

- Suitable extinguishing media

Use water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide as appropriate for surrounding fire and materials.

- Unsuitable extinguishing media

No limitations given for this substance.

SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE

Combustible, but not flammable. In case of fire toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) may be formed. No expolsivity or flammability data identified. High concentrations of finely divided airborne organic particles can potentially explode if ignited.

ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Prevent fire-extinguishing water from contaminating the watercourses.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

If product is released or spilled, take proper precautions to minimize exposure by using appropriate personal protective equipment (see section Exposure controls / Personal protection). Avoid raising dust.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

Collect spillage and place in specific bins and send for destruction. Avoid release to drains.

METHODS AND MATERIAL FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP

A small spill may be handled with water moistened disposable cloth and placed in container for chemical waste. A larger spill should be collected and placed in container for disposal. Use recommended personal protective equipment. Wash spill site with water after completed pick up.

Handling and storage

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Avoid dust generation and inhalation of dust. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Ensure good ventilation. The material may form flammable dust clouds in air. Dust clouds may be extremely sensitive to ignition by electrostatic discharge and other ignition sources. Ensure good earthing of equipment and personnel.

CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING AND INCOMPATIBILITIES

Store at ambient conditions, generally 15 to 25 C, and keep the container tightly closed.

Exposure controls / personal protection

CONTROL PARAMETERS

To the best of our knowledge, established occupational exposure limit value is not available.

EXPOSURE CONTROL

- Appropriate engineering controls

Use appropriate controls (e.g. containment, local exhaust ventilation) as specified in a workplace risk assessment. Technical measures and appropriate operations should be given priority over the use of protective equipment. Hnadle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

- Personal protective equipment

Eye face protection - Wear safety glasses with side shields. An emergency eyewash station should be available.

Skin protection -  Hnadle with gloves. The selected gloves must comply with the specifications in EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374 or applicable federal, state and national legislation.

Protective clothing - Use protective clothing to prevent skin contact. The type should be selected according to concentrations, quantities and duration of handling at the specific workplace.

Respiratiory protection - Required when dusts are generated. Where risk assessment shows that an air-purifying respirator is appropriate, use filter of type P3 (EN143) or N100 (NIOSH) or types recommended in appliable federal, state and national legislation.

Environmental exposure controls - Do not empty in drains.

Stability and reactivity

REACTIVITY
