Administrative data
First-aid measures
Remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:
If difficulties occur after vapour/aerosol has been inhaled, remove to fresh air and seek medical
attention.
On skin contact:
Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
On contact with eyes:
Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open,
consult an eye specialist.
On ingestion:
Rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water. Do not induce vomiting unless told to by a poison
control center or doctor.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Symptoms: (Further) symptoms and / or effects are not known so far
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific
antidote.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
dry powder, foam
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
harmful vapours
Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of
fire.
Advice for fire-fighters:
Special protective equipment:
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information:
The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated
extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations.
Accidental release measures
Use personal protective clothing. Breathing protection required.
Environmental precautions:
Contain contaminated water/firefighting water. Do not discharge into drains/surface
waters/groundwater.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
For large amounts: Pump off product.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance
with regulations.
Reference to other sections:
Information regarding exposure controls/personal protection and disposal considerations can be
found in section 8 and 13.
Handling and storage
Ensure good work practices are implemented. Provide a good standard of general or controlled
ventilation (5 to 10 air changes per hour) Use suitable chemically resistant gloves. Wear suitable
respiratory protection. Clear transfer lines prior to de-coupling
Protection against fire and explosion:
Sources of ignition should be kept well clear. Take precautionary measures against static
discharges. If delivered in plastic packing, highest permissable emptying temperature is 5 Kelvin
below the flash point.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and in a cool place.
Storage stability:
Storage temperature: 5 - 35 °C

Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
