Composition / Information on Ingredients
Chemical components, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
The substance consists mainly of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids methyl ester (chain length C16-C18, origin: vegetable oils).
| Chemical Name | CAS Number | Concentration | Hazardous |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fatty acids, vegetable-oil, Methyl ester EC: 273-606-8 | 68990-52-3 | 100% | No |
| residuals of glycerol and partial glycerides | --- | 3.5% | No |
| methanol | --- | 0.2% | No |
EC Classification No. 1272/2008
Notes
The substance may contain residuals of glycerol and partial glycerides (total < 3.5%) and traces of methanol (< 0.2 %). To improve the properties the substance may contain additives in small concentrations: Cold flow improvers consisting mainly of oligomers of vinyl acetate and other monomers and oxidation stabilizers containing mainly steric hindered phenols. The single active components do not exceed a concentration of 1000 mg/kg (0.1%) in relation to the whole substance.
First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
In case of accident by inhalation: remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Symptoms: Vapors produced by heating the substance, or finely misted materials, may irritate the mucous membranes and cause dizziness, and nausea.
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Change contaminated, saturated clothing.
On contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes.
Symptoms: May cause minor eye irritation.
Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. If conscious, give half a litre of water to drink immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical powder, alcohol resistant foam, water mist
do not use strong water jet
Special exposure arising from the substance or preparation itself, its combustion products or from resulting gases: on combustion forms: emits toxic fumes of carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide. Soaked rags or spill absorbent (i.e. oil dry, sack, sand) can cause spontaneous combustion if stored near combustible and not handled properly.
Keep fire exposed containers cool by spraying with water.
Firefighter Protection
A self contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing should be worn in fire conditions. Extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
For non-emergency personnel: Eliminate every possible source of ignition. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. For emergency responders: Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Stop leak if safe to do so.
Recover large spills for salvage or disposal.
Make sure spills can be contained, e.g. in sump pallets or kerbed areas.
Take up with absorbent material (e.g. oil binder). Wash hard surfaces with safety solvent or detergent to remove remaining oil film.
Materials: absorbent material (e.g. oil binder), safety solvent or detergent
