| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible. | NO open flames. | Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide. |
| EXPLOSION | Above 71°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. | Above 71°C use a closed system, ventilation. Prevent deposition of dust: closed system, dust-explosion proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). | |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! | ||
| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. Burning sensation. Laboured breathing. | Local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Pain. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. 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 | Burning sensation in the throat and chest. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. | UN classification UN Hazard Class: 4.1 UN Pack Group: III GHS classification Signal: Danger Flame-Skull Flammable solid Harmful if swallowed Fatal if inhaled dust Causes skin irritation Causes serious eye irritation May cause allergic skin reaction |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | SAFE STORAGE | Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-41GF1-II+III NFPA Code: H3; F2; R1 |
Cool. Dry. Keep in a well-ventilated room. Separated from strong oxidants, strong bases and strong acids. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance WHITE SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |

Auto-ignition temperature: 300°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 7.0-73.0 |
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. |
| NOTES | Also consult ICSC 0275 (formaldehyde). |
