2-Mercaptoethanol

After inhalation: fresh air. Immediately call in physician. If breathing stops: immediately apply artificial respiration, if necessary also oxygen.

In case of skin contact: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/ shower. Call a physician immediately.

After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water. Immediately call in ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses.

If swallowed: give water to drink (two glasses at most). Seek medical advice immediately. In exceptional cases only, if medical care is not available within one hour, induce vomiting (only in persons who are wide awake and fully conscious), administer activated charcoal (20 - 40 g in a 10% slurry) and consult a doctor as quickly as possible.

Water, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder

For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.

Combustible. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air on intense heating. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.

Remove container from danger zone and cool with water. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.

Do not let product enter drains.

Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Observe possible material restrictions (see sections 7 and 10). Take up carefully with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.

Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols.

Tightly closed. Keep in a well-ventilated place. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorised persons.

Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Material : butyl-rubber, Break through time : 480 min, Glove thickness : 0,7 mm, Protective index : Full contact, Manufacturer : Butoject® (KCL 898); Material : Nitrile rubber, Break through time : 120 min, Glove thickness : 0,4 mm, Protective index : Splash contact, Manufacturer : Camatril® (KCL 730 / Aldrich Z677442, Size M). Remarks: This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN 16523-1 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).

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

required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Our recommendations on filtering respiratory protection are based on the following standards: DIN EN 143, DIN 14387 and other accompanying standards relating to the used respiratory protection system. Recommended Filter type: Filter B-(P3). The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
