| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | In case of fire in the surroundings: use appropriate extinguishing media. | |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. | |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! | ||
| Inhalation | see Ingestion. | Avoid inhalation of fine dust and mist. Local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! See Ingestion. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Wear protective gloves when administering first aid. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Redness. | Face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Convulsions. Nausea. Dizziness. Headache. Hypersalivation Diarrhoea. Vomiting. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Refer immediately for medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Rest. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Personal protection: P3 filter respirator for toxic particles. Chemical protection suit. protective gloves. Sweep spilled substance into non-metallic sealable containers, then remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. | EU classification T Symbol N Symbol R: 20/21-25-48/22-64-50/53 S: (1/2-)36/37-45-60-61 UN classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Pack Group: III GHS classification Signal: Danger Skull-Health haz-Enviro Fatal if swallowed Fatal in contact with skin Harmful if inhaled dust May cause harm to breast-fed children Causes damage to central nervous system Causes damage to liver through prolonged or repeated exposure Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Severe marine pollutant. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | SAFE STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-61GT7-III | Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from bases, metals, food and feedstuffs. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 323°C Melting point: 113°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.87 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 0.0007 Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.0012 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.61- 3.72 |
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in fish. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal. |
| NOTES | Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. |
