Butanoic acid, 3-oxo-, methyl ester, reaction products with polypropylene glycol ether with trimethylolpropane (3:1)

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice: Remove contaminated clothing.

If inhaled: Take the person into the fresh air and keep him warm, let him rest; if there is difficulty in breathing, medical advice is required.

In case of skin contact: In case of skin contact wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and plenty of water.

Consult a doctor in the event of a skin reaction.

In case of eye contact: Hold the eyes open and rinse with preferably lukewarm water for a sufficiently long period of time (at least 10 minutes).

Contact an ophthalmologist.

If swallowed: DO NOT induce the patient to vomit, medical advice is required.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, extinguishing powder, in cases of larger fires, water spray should be used.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Burning releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Advice for fire-fighters: As a general precaution, firemen must wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Do not allow contaminated extinguishing water to enter the soil, ground-water or surface waters.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Put on protective equipment (see "personal protection", below).

Ensure adequate ventilation/exhaust extraction. Keep unauthorized persons away.

Environment related measures: Do not allow to escape into waterways, wastewater or soil.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Take up with absorbent for chemicals or, if necessary with dry sand and store in closed

containers.

For further disposal measures see "disposal considerations", below.

Handling and storage

Intermediate under strictly controlled conditions: Handle in closed system.

General precautions for safe handling:

Observe the usual precautionary measures for chemicals. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid inhalation.

Where necessary, provide appropriately located exhaust ventilation. The air should be drawn away from the personnel handling the product.

The efficiency of the exhaust equipment should be periodically checked.

Precautions should generally be taken against electrostatic charges according to the equipment used and the way the product is handled and

packaged.

Keep away from foodstuffs, drinks and tobacco. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. Keep working clothes separately.

Change contaminated or soaked clothing.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Keep container tightly closed and dry.

For technical protective measures to limit exposure see also "handling and storage", above.

Exposure controls

Respiratory protection: Unless the product is entirely enclosed, do not handle it until you have studied the respiratory precautions issued by the appropriate authority or accident prevention association. At substantial vapor concentrations respirators must be used. Put on full-mask respirator with filter type ABEK.

Hand protection: Protective gloves are recommended.

Conditionally suitable materials for protective gloves; EN 374: Nitrile rubber - NBR (>= 0.35 mm).

Breakthrough time not tested; dispose of immediately after contamination.

Eye protection: Wear eye/face protection.

Skin and body protection: Wear suitable protective clothing.

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability: No decomposition below initial boiling point.

Possibility of hazardous reactions: No hazardous reactions when used as directed.

Hazardous decomposition products: No hazardous decomposition products when stored and handled correctly.

Disposal considerations

Dispose in accordance with applicable international, national and local laws, ordinances and statutes.

For disposal within the EC, the appropriate code according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) should be used.

Waste treatment methods

After containers have been emptied as thoroughly as possible (e.g. by pouring, scraping or draining until "drip-dry"), they can be sent to an

appropriate collection point set up within the framework of the existing take-back scheme of the chemical industry. Containers must be

recycled in compliance with national legislation and environmental regulations.

No disposal into waste water.
