NITROCET 50

Keep at rest in any position. Call a physician.

Symptoms: Vapours and mists cause irritation of nose, gullet and respiratory tract.

In skin contamination: remove clothing, rinse the skin well with warm running water. Seek medical assistance in case of skin changes.

Symptoms: Irritant when absorbed through skin.

In eye contamination: rinse for at least 15 minutes with plenty of cold, preferably running water (avoid strong water jets to prevent mechanical damage of cornea). Call a physician. Notice: all personnel exposed to the risk of eye contamination should be instructed on the necessity of rinsing the contaminated eyes immediately.

Symptoms: Contact with eyes causes lacrimation, reddening and ophthalmia.

In ingestion poisoning: give the injured person water to drink. Call a physician.

Symptoms: If swallowed, the substance causes irritation of mouth, gullet and digestive tract.

Do not allow heating the tanks containing NITROCET 50. Heated under confinement may cause explosion of the substance. During fire, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides and other unidentified decomposition products may be released. Do not inhale fumes and gases produced during fire.

If there is a fire, promptly isolate the area and evacuate all personnel from the vicinity of the incident. No action-should be taken unless properly trained.

Inform the surroundings about the hazard. Secure the product and area of the failure from unauthorized personnel. Avoid inhalation of fumes and vapors. Stop the leak if possible. In case of major failure evacuate the personnel from the area. Call Fire Brigade.

Remove the leak if there is a small leak announce smoking ban. If possible, collect the released liquid into a closed container. Cover the residue using sorbing agent. Collect the contaminated layer of soil into a tight container and along with the product secured with the sorbing substance submit to an authorized disposal and neutralization company.

Inform the Fire Services. Eliminate all sources of ignition (extinguish naked flames, announce smoking ban); secure all sewage drains, avoid direct contact with the releasing substance; if possible, eliminate all leaks (tighten, place the damaged container in an emergency container), collect the released substance and place it in a covered, sealed container; collect all residue using absorbing agent. In case of large spillage, embank the accumulation spot. If the substance penetrated any watercourses and/or sewage drains or contaminated vegetation, notify the local authorities.

Do not allow NITROCET 50 to penetrate into surface or/ and ground water, and sewage systems.

If possible, collect the released liquid into a closed container. Cover the residue using sorbing agent. Collect the contaminated layer of soil into a tight container. collect the released substance and place it in a covered, sealed container; collect all residue using absorbing agent.

Materials: Sawdust, diatomite or other type of adsorbent suitable for organic substances removal may be used as adsorbing agent for the released liquid.

Apply precautions while handling the substance and its solutions, avoid inhaling vapours, keep personal hygiene, use personal precaution measures (as listed in SECTION 8). Work in well - ventilated rooms, avoid any naked flames and temperatures exceeding 45 °C. Do not eat, drink or smoke while working with NITROCET 50.

The substance is to be stored in plastic tanks with double-jacket and detection of leakiness, away from any heat sources or other inflammable and combustible products. It is recommended to locate the storage tanks away from residential structures. The tanks should be equipped with systems and devices signalizing leaks and preventing 2-EHN from penetrating into ground, surface-water and/ or ground water... It is recommended to store the product at open air or in well ventilated places, far from incompatible materials.

If in the target country there are standards related with air quality protection, they should be recalled below. If such standard are not present, one can use the standards and methods listed below: PN-Z-04008.07 Air quality protection. Sampling. General provisions. Principles of sampling in the work environment and interpretation of results. PN-Z-04385 Air quality protection. Determination of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate content at workplaces using gas chromatography. Methods and procedures published in „Principles and Methods of Assessing the Working Environment” no. 4 (46), published by Central Institute for Labour Protection Warsaw 2006, no. 1(47)

if there is a likely contact with the hands, use appropriately long protective gloves (for example, made of neoprene or PVC; in accordance with EN374).

Goggles or face protection are only required in situations when there is risk of contact with the substance under pressure or in open containers/tanks.

If the substance concentration is determined, known and below 3,5 mg/m³, it is not necessary to used respiratory track protection. In emergency situations, if the substance concentration is unknown or exceeds 3,5 mg/m³, used individual protective measures of the highest recommended protection class: gas - tight clothing in electrostatic version with air - supplying breathing apparatus.

If there is a likely contact with the skin, wear protective clothing

See sub section 6.2 i 6.3.

In recommended storage and use conditions the substance is stable. In the mixture with the fuel it is intended for the substance is stable.

2-EHN reacts with acids and bases, undergoing a hydrolysis process with the nitric acids release. Its reaction with acids is auto - catalytic, with violent decomposition of the substance. The substance does not react with the components of mixtures whose production it is intended for.

No hazardous chemical reactions occur if the substance is handled in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

• Heating up to temperatures exceeding 45 °C; • Contact with heat sources, flame, sparks; • Excessive heating of tanks, resulting in increased evaporation of the substance.

Acids, bases, oxidizers, reducers.

Nitrogen oxides

NITROCET 50 may be transported by AT or FL vehicles, in tank lorries compliant with minimal requirements for tank lorries, with LGBV code or by vehicles not compliant with additional ADR requirements in certified packaging. Each vehicle and packaging must be labelled in accordance to ADR regulations. Uploading and unloading: use handling equipment that does not cause heating up of the product; each pumping of NITROCET 50 must be conducted in controlled conditions and all valves must be switched to open position before the pump is started; do not pump the substance when the exit valve is closed as it may cause excessive heating up of the product in the pump; in order to prevent any excessive heating up of the product, the substance must not be pumped in closed circuit. Transporting via pipelines: use not insulated pipelines made of mild of stainless steel; all steam and/or electric connections must be physically disconnected; if possible, use a pipeline intended specifically for 2- ethylhexyl nitrate. Transfers of the substance from one tank to another may be done by means of using pneumatic pumping system with use of nitrogen or air. Valves: It is recommended to use ball valves with full opening made of stainless steel. Do not use copper, zinc, zinc alloys, aluminum or plastics except for PTFE. Pumps: should be protected against dry running.
