TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Flammable.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
|
Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Above 31°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.
|
Above 31°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment.
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|

| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Ataxia. Convulsions. Cough. Unconsciousness.
|
Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Dry skin. Redness.
|
Protective gloves.
|
Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
|
| Eyes |
Redness.
|
Safety goggles or face shield.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Nausea. Vomiting.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Ventilation. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place (extra personal protection: A filter respirator for organic vapour).
|

|
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants.
|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The vapour is heavier than air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: Reacts with strong oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 200 ppm; 1050 mg/m 3 (as TWA) (ACGIH 1993-1994). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure to the vapour could cause lowering of consciousness. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The liquid defats the skin. |
