| 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 spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | |||
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! STRICT HYGIENE! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Dizziness. Nausea. Vomiting. Sweating. Pupillary constriction, muscle cramp, excessive salivation. Laboured breathing. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! (Further see Inhalation). | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. Wear protective gloves when administering first aid. |
| Eyes | Blurred vision. | 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 | Abdominal cramps. Diarrhoea. Nausea. Vomiting. (Further see Inhalation). | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Personal protection: A/P2 filter respirator for organic vapour and harmful dust. Chemical protection suit. and protective gloves. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. | EU classification T Symbol N Symbol R: 21/22-23-48/25-50/53-68 S: (1/2-)36/37-45-60-61 UN classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1 UN Pack Group: III GHS classification Signal: Danger Skull-Health haz-Enviro Toxic if swallowed Toxic in contact with skin Causes damage to the nervous system Very toxic to aquatic life |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Severe marine pollutant. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | SAFE STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-61GT6-III | Separated from strong oxidants, food and feedstuffs. Well closed. Keep in a well-ventilated room. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS OILY LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Decomposes when heated Melting point: 7.5°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.25 Solubility in water, g/100 ml: 0.005 Vapour pressure, Pa at 25°C: negligible Relative vapour density (air = 1): 9.6 Flash point: 170°C Auto-ignition temperature: 365°C Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.17-4.8 |
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. 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 | The technical grade (95-98% pure) is a yellow to brown oil with a weak garlic-like odour. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Do NOT take working clothes home. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. |
