| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Flammable. | NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. | Alcohol-resistant foam, powder, carbon dioxide (see Notes). |
| EXPLOSION | Above 49°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 49°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. | In case of fire: cool drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance with water. |
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. skin burns. Pain. Blisters. Effects could be delayed | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Causes watering of the eyes. Redness. Pain. Burns. | Face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Personal protection: filter respirator for acid gases. Chemical protection suit. Use face shield. Consult an expert! Ventilation. 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. | EU classification C Symbol R: 10-20/22-34 S: (1/2-)26-36/37/39-45 UN classification UN Hazard Class: 8 UN Subsidiary Risks: 3 UN Pack Group: II GHS classification Signal: Danger Flame-Corr-Excl mark Flammable liquid and vapour Harmful if swallowed Causes severe skin burns and eye damage Causes serious eye damage |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | SAFE STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-80S1715 NFPA Code: H 2; F 2; R 1; W |
Fireproof. Separated from food and feedstuffs, incompatible substances (see Chemical Dangers). Dry. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 139°C Melting point: -73°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.08 Solubility in water: Reaction Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 0.5 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.5 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.01 Flash point: 49°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 316°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.7-10.3 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: -0.27 |
| NOTES | Forms acetic acid when mixed with water. Major fires must be extinguished with large amounts of water from a distance. Card has been partially updated in July 2007: see Occupational Exposure Limits. |
