| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Explosive. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. | Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, Note: Evacuate area, fight fires only from an explosion-resistant location. |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and explosion. | Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Use non-sparking handtools. Do NOT expose to friction or shock. | In case of fire: cool drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position. |
| EXPOSURE | STRICT HYGIENE! | IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |
| Inhalation | Flushing of the face. Hypotension. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea. Weakness. Blue lips or finger nails. Blue skin. Confusion. Convulsions. Unconsciousness. | Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | MAY BE ABSORBED! (See Inhalation). | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. |
| Eyes | 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 | (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. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention. |
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. (Extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus.) | E Symbol T+ Symbol R: 3-26/27/28-33-52/53 S: (1/2-)33-35-36/37-45-61 UN Hazard Class: 1.1D |
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE | Fireproof. Store in separate building. Separated from acids, food and feedstuffs. Cool. Well closed. |
| IMPORTANT DATA | Physical State; Appearance LIQUID Physical dangers Chemical dangers Occupational exposure limits |
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation risk Effects of short-term exposure Effects of long-term or repeated exposure |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | Boiling point at 0.9 kPa: 139°C Melting point: 2°C Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.5 |
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. |
| NOTES | Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect. 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. Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water.
