Cyclohexane

Move exposed individual to fresh air. Loosen clothing as necessary and position individual in a comfortable position. Seek medical advice if discomfort or irritation persists.

Symptoms: Shortness of breath

Wash affected area with soap and water. Rinse/flush exposed skin gently using water for 15-20 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists or if concerned.

Protect unexposed eye. Rinse/flush exposed eye(s) gently using water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lens(es) if able to do so during rinsing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists or if concerned.

Rinse mouth thoroughly. Do not induce vomiting. Have exposed individual drink sips of water. Seek medical attention if irritation, discomfort or vomiting persists.

Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide. If in laboratory setting, follow laboratory fire suppression procedures. Use appropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials or sources of ignition

Water may be ineffective because it may not cool the material below its flash point.

Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic vapors. Risk of ignition. Flammable. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated.

Move product containers away from fire or keep cool with water spray as a protective measure, where feasible.

Stop the spill, if possible. If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan procedures.

Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway.

Transfer to a disposal or recovery container. Collect liquids using vacuum or by use of absorbents.

Materials: absorbents

Prevent formation of aerosols. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances. Avoid splashes or spray in enclosed areas. Use only under chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment. Wash hands after handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not breathe in vapors or spray mist. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignitions. Use only non-sparking tools. Use explosion proof equipment. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Provide ventilation for containers. Avoid storage near extreme heat, ignition sources or open flame. Store away from foodstuffs. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Store with like hazards. Keep in a flammable area.

Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or use personal products when handling chemical substances. Wash hands after handling.

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignitions. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use/handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor or mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above. Use only under fume hood.

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation being used/handled. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.

Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.

Not required under normal conditions of use. Use suitable respiratory protective device when high concentrations are present. Use suitable respiratory protective device when aerosol or mist is formed. For spills, respiratory protection may be advisable.

No decomposition if used and stored according to specifications.

Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Store away from oxidizing agents, strong acids or bases. Incompatible materials, excess heat. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.

Strong acids. Strong bases. Strong oxidizing agents.

Carbon oxides (CO, CO2).

Product/containers must not be disposed together with household garbage.
