Dimethyl sulfoxide

Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.

Symptoms: Difficulty in breathing.

Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur.

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention.

Do NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention.

Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.

No information available.

Combustible material. Containers may explode when heated. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

Should not be released into the environment.

Soak up with inert absorbent material.

Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use. Wash hands before breaks and after work.

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Protective gloves. Neoprene (Breakthrough time: > 480 minutes, Thickness: 0.45 mm, EU standard: Level 6 EN 374). Nitrile rubber (Breakthrough time: > 480 minutes, Thickness: > 0.2 mm). Inspect gloves before use. Observe instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time. Ensure gloves are suitable for the task. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.

Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) (European standard - EN 166)

When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. Large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: Particle filter. Small scale/Laboratory use: Maintain adequate ventilation.

Long sleeved clothing.

Prevent product from entering drains.

Hygroscopic.

None known, based on information available

Hazardous polymerization does not occur. Thermal decomposition can take place above 189°C / 372°F.

Incompatible products. Excess heat. Exposure to moist air or water. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.

Strong oxidizing agents. Strong acids. Strong bases. Alkali metals.

Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO₂). Sulfur oxides. Sulfides. Formaldehyde.

Chemical waste generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is classified as a hazardous waste. Consult local, regional, and national hazardous waste regulations to ensure complete and accurate classification.
