| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames. | Water spray. Alcohol-resistant foam. Dry powder. Carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 88°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. Risk of fire and explosion (see Chemical Dangers). | Above 88°C use a closed system, ventilation. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Headache. Blue lips or finger nails. Blue skin. Dizziness. Nausea. Weakness. Confusion. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! (Further see Inhalation). | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Safety goggles. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. | |
| Ingestion | (see Inhalation). | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. | EU classification T Symbol N Symbol R: 23/24/25-40-48/23/24-51/53-62 S: (1/2-)28-36/37-45-61 UN classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Pack Group: II GHS classification Signal: Danger Skull-Health haz Harmful if swallowed Toxic if inhaled vapour Toxic in contact with skin Suspected of causing cancer Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child May cause damage to blood cells Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | SAFE STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-61S1662 or 61GT1-II NFPA Code: H 3; F 2; R 1 |
Separated from combustible and reducing substances, strong oxidants, strong acids, food and feedstuffs. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance PALE YELLOW OILY LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. 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: 211°C Melting point: 5°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.2 Solubility in water, g/100 ml: 0.2 Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 20 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.2 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00 Flash point: 88°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 480°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.8-40 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.86 |
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. It is strongly advised that this substance does not enter the environment. |
| NOTES | Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. Do NOT take working clothes home. Card has been partly updated in October 2006: see sections Occupational Exposure Limits. Card has been partially updated in January 2008: see GHS classification. |
