| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. | Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 51°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | Above 51°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! | ||
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Cough. Headache. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Serious skin burns. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Redness. Blurred vision. Severe deep burns. | Face shield. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. |
| Ingestion | Shock or collapse. (Further see Inhalation). | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Remove all ignition sources. 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. (Extra personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.) | UN Hazard Class: 3 UN Subsidiary Risks: 6.1 UN Pack Group: III |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-30G35 NFPA Code: H3; F2; R0 |
Fireproof. Separated from food and feedstuffs. See Chemical Dangers. Cool. Dry. Well closed. Keep in a well-ventilated room. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLORLESS TO LIGHT-YELLOW 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 or its aerosol, through the skin, and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 202-203°C Melting point: -44°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.8 Solubility in water, g/100 ml: none Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 40 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 5.4 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00 Flash point: 51°C c.c. |
| NOTES | Other melting points: -8°C; -32°C. Explosive limits are unknown in literature, although the substance is combustible and has a flash point <55°C. Environmental effects from the substance have not been investigated adequately. 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. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. |
