Diethyl ether

If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.

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

Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Flammable in the presence of a source of ignition when the temperature is above the flash point. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surface. No smoking.

Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.

collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Use explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Engineering controls are the primary means of reducing exposure; air-purifying respirators are used as a backup to engineering controls. If a respirator is the sole means of protection, a full-face supplied air respirator should be used.

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. Splash protection: Material: Fluorinated rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0.7 mm, Break through time: 30 min, Material tested: Vitoject® (Aldrich Z677698, Size M), data source: KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, phone +49 (0)6659 873000, e-mail sales@kcl.de, test method: EN374

Face shield and safety glasses. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Complete suit protecting against chemicals. Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Heat, flames and sparks. Extremes of temperature and direct sunlight.

Oxidizing agents, Strong acids

Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. - Carbon oxides. Other decomposition products - no data available
