TYPES OF
HAZARD /
EXPOSURE
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS      PREVENTION      FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE Combustible. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. NO open flames. Water, foam, carbon dioxide, powder.
EXPLOSION      
 
EXPOSURE   PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!  
Inhalation Burning sensation. Cough. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin Redness. Burning sensation. Numbness. Tingling. Itching. Protective gloves. Protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes Redness. Pain. Safety goggles, 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. Nausea. Vomiting. Dizziness. Headache. Convulsions. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
YELLOW OR BROWN VISCOUS LIQUID

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating between 150-300°C producing toxic fumes including hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride. Reacts with strong bases and strong oxidants.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK not established.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.


PHYSICAL PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Decomposes below boiling point
Relative density (water = 1): 1.2
Solubility in water: none
Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: negligible
Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 4.4-6.2
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance may be hazardous in the environment; special attention should be given to honey bees. 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
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
If the substance is formulated with solvents also consult the ICSCs of these materials.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Sumicidin, Pydrin, Belmark are trade names.
