Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., Me esters

Remove casualty from exposure ensuring one's own safety whilst doing so; seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Symptoms: Vapors produced by heating, or finely misted materials may irritate the mucous membranes and cause dizziness, and nausea.

Wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. Remove all contaminated clothes and footwear immediately unless stuck to skin.

Symptoms: Thermal burns are possible on contact with material at elevated temperatures.

Irrigate eyes with a heavy stream of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes

Symptoms: Minor eye irritation possible.

Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water. If conscious, give half a liter of water to drink immediately. If gastro-intestinal symptoms develop, consult medical personnel. (Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person)

Dry chemical powder, alcohol resistant foam, halon (may not be permissible in some countries), CO₂, water spray (fog).

Water stream may splash the burning liquid and spread fire

In combustion emits toxic fumes of carbon dioxide / carbon monoxide.

Fire-fighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus to avoid exposure to smoke and vapour. Wear protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Prevent contamination of clothes and shoes; avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Eliminate all sources of ignition. If outside do not approach from downwind. Evacuate all personnel who do not take part in the cleaning/emergency procedure. Mark out the contaminated area with signs and prevent access to unauthorised personnel.

Pick up small spills with absorbent materials and dispose of properly to avoid spontaneous combustion.

Recover large spills for appropriate treatment and reutilization or for disposal according to legislation.

Prevent any leakage. Do not discharge into communal sewerage, drains or waters.

Wash hard surfaces with safety solvent or detergent to remove remaining oil film.

Materials: absorbent materials, safety solvent or detergent

Avoid direct contact with the substance. Minimize exposure of workers during and after normal operations by the use of good industrial hygiene practice for handling chemical substances and mixtures.

Store in cool, well ventilated area. Keep away from sources of ignition, excessive heat and oxidizing agents. Keep container tightly closed. Storage life, ~2 years. Protect from frost. Protect against static electricity. Store at +15°C to +25°C.

Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas; wash hands after use; and remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Keep away from sources of ignition, excessive heat

No relevant engineering controls.

PVC coated gloves recommended to prevent skin contact.

Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield recommended to protect eyes from mists or splashing.

If vapours or mists are generated, wear a NIOSH approved organic vapour/mist respirator.

Prevent product from entering sewerages. Is not allowed to pour any amount of the product to the sewerage or water pipes. See also 6.2

Combustion produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide along with thick smoke.

Unusable product residues usually are disposed of by combustion in incinerators. Due to biodegradability, contaminated absorbent material may be stored on approved landfills.
