TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Combustible.
|
NO open flames.
|
Carbon dioxide, water spray, powder.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.
|
Prevent deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|

| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Sore throat (see Ingestion).
|
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Redness.
|
Protective gloves.
|
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 |
Nausea. Vomiting. Ear ringing.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).
|
|
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE |
NFPA Code: H0; F1; R0;
|
Separated from strong oxidants.
|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS CRYSTALLINE POWDER OR NEEDLE-SHAPED CRYSTALS. PHYSICAL DANGERS: Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The solution in water is a weak acid. Reacts with strong oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly by dispersing powder. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system and the acid-base balance in the body , resulting in delirium and tremors. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. |

Flash point: 157°C
Auto-ignition temperature: 540°C Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.2 |
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
|
| NOTES | |
|
Volatility becomes noticeable above 50-60°C. Anyone who has shown aspirin sensitization should never come in contact with this substance.
