Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) in granulated form

Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water. Seek medical attention if patient feels unwell.

Symptoms: No known effect. If exposed to high concentrations of air borne dust irritation to the mucous membranes and the respiratory tract may occur.

Wash the affected area with water and obtain medical attention if irritation persists. Wash contaminated clothing before use.

Symptoms: No known effect, but may cause irritation

Immediately flush the eye with plenty of water and continue for 10 minutes. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.

Symptoms: No known effect, but may cause irritation

In the event of irritation move the patient to fresh air. Give oxygen if breathing difficulty is experienced then seek medical attention.

Symptoms: No known effect.

Extinguish with water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical foam or polymer foam.

Do not use high pressure water jet

On contact with water the product can create a slip hazard

Wear the recommended protective clothing. Avoid raising any dust. Ventilate the spillage area and wash the spill site after materials collection is complete.

Stop leak if without risk. Remove containers away from the spill area. Brush up and contain without raising too much dust.

Stop leak if without risk. Remove containers away from the spill area. Brush up and contain without raising too much dust. Recommend wearing appropriate/suitable RPE/PPE

All solid material to be collected and stored in a suitable labelled, closed container for correct disposal. Any dissolved material can be diluted to drain with large volumes of water

wash the spill site after materials collection is complete

Store in the original containers. Store away from heat in a dry place.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday

Store away from heat

Use transfer systems that minimise damage to granules, which may lead to fine dusts being produced. Enclosed transfer systems are recommended or provide local exhaust ventilation where possible to avoid liberation of dust. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.

Wear suitable gloves. The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will break down after repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of protection before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. Recommended: Impervious or dust proof gloves (to BS EN 374 or similar)

Recommended: Goggles that offer protection against dust ingress. Advice on eye protection is given in EN166 (UK & EU)

Recommended: Where dust is liberated during handling or transfer suitable respirator equipment, using particulate filters, should be used. Selection should be based on the atmospheric concentration, and the duration of exposure. Advice on respiratory equipment is given in British Standard Numbers 4275 and standards EN149, 405, 140 etc. Half mask respirators to minimum FFP2 standard.

Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice. Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light superficial contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages) then chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical suits and boots will be required. Recommended: Impervious or dust proof overalls (to EN 340 or similar)

Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Products are stable in air at ambient temperature. TAED and organic binders are stable with respect to hydrolysis in neutral aqueous solution.

No specific test data available for this product. Refer to Conditions to avoid and incompatible conditions for additional information

TAED will hydrolyse in aqueous alkali or acid to give diacetylethylenediamine.

Keep away from heat, sparks and flames.
