ACETIC ACID

Move victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a physician immediately.

Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Wash off with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician if feel uncomfortable.

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician if feel uncomfortable.

Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately.

Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter or spread fire.

1. Will form explosive mixtures with air. 2. Fire exposed containers may vent contents through pressure relief valves thereby increasing fire intensity and/ or vapour concentration. 3. Vapours may travel to source of ignition and flash back. 4. Liquid and vapour are flammable. 5. Fire may produce irritating, poisonous or corrosive gases. 6. Containers may explode when heated. 7. Fire exposed containers may vent contents through pressure relief valves. 8. May expansion or decompose explosively when heated or involved in fire.

Fight fire from a safe distance, with adequate cover.

Avoid breathing vapors and contacting with skin and eye. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist, gas or dust.

Absorb spilled material in dry sand or inert absorbent.

In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.

Avoid inhalation of vapors. Use only non-sparking tools. To prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam, equipment on all metal parts should be grounded. Use explosion proof equipment. Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/ hot surfaces. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Keep containers tightly closed. Keep containers in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/ hot surfaces. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.

Use only non-sparking tools. To prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam, equipment on all metal parts should be grounded. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/ hot surfaces. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Set up emergency exit and necessary risk-elimination area.

Wear protective gloves (such as butyl rubber), passing the tests according to EN 374(EU), US F739 or AS/NZS 2161.1 standard.

Tightly fitting safety goggles (approved by EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).

If exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges.

Wear fire/flame resistant/retardant clothing and antistatic boots.

Stable under proper operation and storage conditions.

Contact with incompatible substances can cause decomposition or other chemical reactions.

Flammable, its gas or powder, if in contact with air, may form explosive mixtures.

Incompatible materials, heat, flame and spark.

Metal alkoxides, furfuryl alcohol, acetaldehyde, nitric acid, nitrate, nitrite, oxyacid salt halogen and inorganic peroxide.

Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products should not be produced.
