Liquid Pyrolysis Products

If a person breathes in large amounts of this chemical, move the exposed person to fresh air at once. Keep the affected person at rest. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: The substance is irritating to the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system (CNS).

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: The substance irritates the skin. Liquid defats the skin. Repeated contact with skin may cause dermatitis.

Check the affected person for contact lenses and remove contact lenses if easily possible. Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: The substance irritates the eyes.

Important: never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person! Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention.

Symptoms: Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis.

Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray/mist.

Do not use water jet (straight streams) to extinguish.

Highly Flammable liquid. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Flash point is between -20°C and -5°C (closed cup). Self-ignition temperature: 480°C. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Explosive limits, vol% in air: 0.75-12. The vapour may be invisible and is heavier than air. The vapour may travel to source of ignition and flash back. The vapour may spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapour explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. Heating of container(s) will cause pressure rise with risk of bursting and subsequent explosion.

To fight fire use foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Do not use water jet to extinguish. Solid streams of water may spread fire. Use water spray to knock down fire fumes if possible. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Apply water from as far a distance as possible.

Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Attempt to stop leak if without undue personnel hazard. Avoid breathing vapors or mist. Keep upwind. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment. Wash away any material, which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water.

Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place.

Do not wash away into sewer. Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.

Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Recover by pumping (use an explosion proof motor or hand pump), or by using a suitable absorbent.

Materials: sand or inert absorbent

Training required, inform employees of hazards, avoid aerosols/mists, avoid inhalation, avoid skin/eye contact, use in well-ventilated area, use PPE, avoid dermatitis, wash skin if contaminated, remove wet clothing.

Store in tightly closed containers. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store separated from incompatible substances. Store separated from strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis. Store separated from food and feedstuffs.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating, after handling the substance, before breaks and at the end of workday.

Normal measures for preventive fire protection when handling highly flammable liquid substances. Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Engineering controls should be sufficient to reduce exposures to this chemical to the lowest level achievable.

Handle with appropriate gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal method – without touching glove’s outer surface – to avoid skin contact with this product.

Appropriate eye and face protection may be necessary to prevent contact with this substance. Suitable protective clothing and eye protection should be in accordance with national, or regional standards and regulations.

Personal Protective Equipment/ Respiratory Protection: should be used in accordance with company and applicable national regulatory requirements. Respiratory protection should be used to supplement the engineering controls and work practices. Persons should not be assigned to tasks requiring the use of respirators unless it has been determined they are physically able to perform the work and are trained to use the equipment.

The level of protection selected should be based on the potential substance concentration and likelihood of contact/exposure. Suitable protective clothing and eye protection should be in accordance with national, or regional standards and regulations. All protective clothing shall be well aired and inspected for physical defects before re-use. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. Work clothing that becomes wet should be immediately removed due to its flammability hazard.

Apply all necessary Risk Management Measures to ensure compliance with relevant national or regional legislation requirements. Engineering controls and good work practices; Regular monitoring for leak detection; Hazard communication; Housekeeping and Hygiene Facilities. The transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal of the waste material must be conducted in compliance with local regulations for hazardous wastes. Disposal can occur only in properly permitted facilities. Check state and local regulation of any additional requirements for disposal conditions.

Stable under recommended storage and use conditions.
