TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Highly flammable.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
|
AFFF, alcohol-resistant foam, 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: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|

| EXPOSURE |
|
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Shortness of breath.
|
Ventilation.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Dry skin. Redness.
|
Protective gloves.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
|
| Eyes |
Redness.
|
Safety spectacles.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Ventilation. Collect leaking liquid in sealable metal (mild steel) containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer. (Extra personal protection: filter A for organic vapours).

| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. CHEMICAL DANGERS: Reacts violently with oxidants, causing fire and explosion hazard. Attacks many plastics. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 200 ppm; 705 mg/m 3 (ACGIH 1995-1996). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The liquid defats the skin. |

Melting point: -42°C Relative density (water = 1): (25°C) 0.81 Solubility in water: moderate Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 2.0 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.0 |
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.01
