Immediate Medical Attention

Call a physician or transport to a medical facility immediately. Obtain prompt medical consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist, especially for chemical eye burns which may require extended irrigation.

Medical Treatment

Maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. Chemical eye burns may require extended irrigation. Obtain prompt consultation, preferably from an ophthalmologist. If lavage is performed, suggest endotracheal and/or esophageal control. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

water fog or fine spray, dry chemical fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, foam, alcohol resistant foams (ATC type), are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.

Unsuitable media

Do not use direct water stream. Straight or direct water streams may not be effective to extinguish fire.

Specific hazards

During a fire, smoke may contain the starting material in addition to toxic or irritating combustion products of varying composition. Harmful by-products of combustion may include and are not limited to : Carbon monoxide .. Carbon dioxide .. Container may vent and/or rupture due to fire. When the product is stored in closed containers, a flammable atmosphere may develop. Electrically connect and ground all equipment. Flammable mixtures of this product catch fire very easily, even by static charge .. Vapors are heavier than air and can travel long distances and collect in low lying areas. Ignition and / or flashback may occur. Combustible mixtures may exist inside tanks where vapors accumulate, at room temperature. Flammable concentrations of vapors may exist at temperatures above the flash point; see Section 9 ..

Instructions

Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry.. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate.. Water may not be effective in extinguishing fire.. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed.. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water.. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.. Eliminate ignition sources.. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard.. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.. Use caution and test if material is burning before entering area.

Firefighter Protection

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and protective firefighting suit (fire helmet, jacket, pants, boots and neoprene gloves). If equipment is not available or not in use, fight fire from a safe place or a safe distance.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Evacuate area. Refer to point 7 Handling and storage, for additional precautionary measures. Only trained and properly protected personnel must be involved in clean-up operations. Do not allow personnel to stay in low-lying areas. Dump without wind. Ventilate the room. Do not smoke indoors. At room temperature, exposure to vapors is minimal due to physical properties; at higher temperatures vapors may be generated in concentrations sufficient to cause irritation, respiratory sensitization in susceptible persons and other effects. Danger of vapor explosion, keep away from sewers. In the event of a significant leakage, warn persons on the leeward side of the explosion hazard. Check the area with a combustible gas detector before re-entering the area. Ground and bond all containers and handling equipment. Use appropriate protective equipment. For additional information see pt. 8, "Exposure controls and personal protection".

Large spill

Pump with explosion-proof equipment. If available, use foam to smother or suppress. Ground and bond all containers and handling equipment.

Environmental

Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, drains, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See point 12 Ecological Information.

Cleanup methods

Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Pump with explosion-proof equipment. If available, use foam to smother or suppress.

Use only with adequate ventilation. It is forbidden to smoke, work with open fire or which can be a source of sparking in the transport and storage area. Electrically bond and ground all containers before transferring or using material. The use of non-sparking or explosion-proof equipment and accessories may be necessary depending on the type of operation. Containers, even empty, may contain product vapors. Do not cut, puncture, crush, weld or similarly treat empty or nearly empty containers. Vapors are heavier than air and can travel long distances and collect in low-lying areas. Ignition and / or flashback may occur. Do not use pressurized air to transfer the product. See point 8 "Exposure controls and personal protection".

Storage

Minimize sources of ignition, such as static build-up, heat, spark or flame. Keep container closed.

Hygiene

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Engineering controls: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Hands

Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. Avoid gloves made of: Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Glove thickness alone is not a good indicator of the level of protection a glove provides against a chemical substance as this level of protection is also highly dependent on the specific composition of the material that the glove is fabricated from. The thickness of the glove must, depending on model and type of material, generally be more than 0.35mm to offer sufficient protection for prolonged and frequent contact with the substance. As an exception to this general rule it is known that multilayer laminate gloves may offer prolonged protection at thicknesses less than 0.35mm. Other glove materials with a thickness of less than 0.35mm may offer sufficient protection when only brief contact is expected. NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Eyes

Eye / face protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should conform to EN 166 or equivalent. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator (meeting EN 136 standard) with an organic vapor cartridge (meeting standard EN 14387).

Respiratory

Respiratory protection: Use respiratory protection if there is a risk of exceeding the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. In the absence of any applicable requirements or guidelines regarding limit concentrations, use an approved respirator. The choice of air purification or pressurized air supply should depend on the specific operation and the potential airborne concentration. Use a legally approved positive pressure self contained breathing apparatus in emergency situations. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge, type A (boiling point >65°C, meeting EN 14387).

Skin/Body

Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task.

Environmental

Environmental exposure controls: See section 7: Transport and storage and Section 13: Disposal considerations for measures to prevent excessive exposure of the environment during use and waste disposal.
