| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. | NO contact with flammable substances. | In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed. |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and explosion when mixed with combustible substances. | ||
| EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT! | ||
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Headache. Wheezing. Shortness of breath. Visual disturbances. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). | Local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Skin discoloration. Blisters. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | First rinse with plenty of water, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Blurred vision. Loss of vision. Severe deep burns. | Safety goggles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal cramps. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. (See Inhalation). | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Give nothing to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Ventilation. Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting then remove to safe place. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment (extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus). | EU classification T+ Symbol R: 26/27/28-34 S: (1/2-)7/9-26-45 UN classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Pack Group: I |
Unbreakable packaging; put breakable packaging into closed unbreakable container. Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Severe marine pollutant. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | SAFE STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-61G64a | Separated from combustible and reducing substances, food and feedstuffs. Ventilation along the floor. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS TO PALE YELLOW SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: (see Notes) 130°C Melting point: 42°C Relative density (water = 1): 4.9 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 25°C: 6 Vapour pressure, kPa at 27°C: 1.5 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 8.8 |
This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to crustacea. |
| NOTES | Begins to sublime and distil well below boiling point. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT take working clothes home. Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water. Card has been partially updated in August 2007: see Occupational Exposure Limits. |
