| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Extremely flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. | NO water. AFFF, powder, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. | Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. | In case of fire: cool drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance with water. |
| EXPOSURE | STRICT HYGIENE! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. Burning sensation. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. See Notes. |
| Skin | Redness. Pain. Blisters. Skin burns. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Severe deep 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 | Burning sensation. Abdominal pain. Shock or collapse. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give nothing to drink. Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible; do not use plastic containers. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer. (Extra personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.) | F+ Symbol C Symbol R: 12-14-17-20/22-29-35 S: (2-)7/9-16-26-36/37/39-43-45 UN Hazard Class: 4.3 UN Subsidiary Risks: 3 and 8 UN Pack Group: I |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-43S1295 NFPA Code: H3; F4; R2; W |
Fireproof. Separated from food and feedstuffs and incompatible materials. See Chemical Dangers. Cool. Dry. Well closed. Ventilation along the floor. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS, VOLATILE, FUMING LIQUID, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Physical dangers 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 |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point: 31.8°C Melting point: -126.5°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.34 Solubility in water: reaction Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 65.8 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.7 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 3.3 Flash point: -27°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 185°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.2-90.5 |
| NOTES | Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water. 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 are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. Toxicological properties are inferred from those of Methyldichlorosilane (ICSC 0297). |
