First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove the person from exposed area to fresh air area
immediately. Should pyrolysis smokes be inhaled
performed artificial respiration id necessary or provide
oxigene. Seek for medical assistance.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Wash immediately with large amounts of water or normal
saline; keep the eyelid open with the finger.
Emergency measure - Skin: Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash
affected area with soap or mild detergent and large amount
of water until no evidence of chemical remains (15-20
minutes).
Emergency measure - Ingestion: If swallowed wash out mouth with water provided person is
conscious.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, CO2, foam, dry powders
Product arising from burning: Ammonia, bromidric acid, nitrogenated compounds
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face
protection (dust mask included).
Soak up with inert absorbent material, and
clean with plenty of water.
Send to the storage waiting for disposal procedures.
Handling and storage
Handling: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face
protection (dust musk included). Avoid any contact also by
inhalation route.

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance is not use as raw material but only inglobated
as additive in the flame retarded polymer. Therefore no
recovery of the substance as such is expected.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No special neutralisation procedures are required.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: All waste streams including residual from the cleaning
procedure of the empty container, residuals from cleaning
the reactor, are collected, stored and then sent to a
qualified external company for disposal. All material will
be incinerated.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The licensed company will incinerate all wastes containing
MHB or its residuals as well as all plastic drums and bags
used to transport/store it.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: none
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: No sales is expected for the pubblic at large.
Possible residuals during production are completely recycled
in the manufacturing process itself.
Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: not applicable
