First-aid measures
General advice:Remove contaminated clothing.If inhaled:Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.On skin contact:Wash thoroughly with soap and water.On contact with eyes:Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eyespecialist.On ingestion:Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.Note to physician:Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specificantidote.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxideSpecial protective equipment:Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus.Further information:Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluentsystems.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:Breathing protection required. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.Environmental precautions:Do not empty into drains.Methods for cleaning up or taking up:For large amounts: Pump off product.For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder,kieselguhr). Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.
Handling and storage
HandlingEnsure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.Protection against fire and explosion:Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers shouldbe kept handy.StorageFurther information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilatedplace. Protect against moisture.Storage stability:Storage duration: 24 MonthsProtect against moisture.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Components with workplace control parameters67-56-1: methanol68-12-2: N,N-dimethylformamidePersonal protective equipmentRespiratory protection:Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organiccompounds (boiling point >65 °C, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)Hand protection:Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (recommended: At least protective index 2,corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374)butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thicknessnitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thicknessManufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glovemanufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practicemay be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.Eye protection:Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)General safety and hygiene measures:Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Wearing of closed workclothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment.
Stability and reactivity
Thermal decomposition: > 100 °CThermal decomposition above the indicated temperature ispossible.Thermal decomposition: > 200 °C, 0.27 kJ/g (DTA)Hazardous reactions:Addition of water leads to increase in temperature.Hazardous decomposition products:methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide
Disposal considerations
Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.Contaminated packaging:Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for recyclingafter being thoroughly cleaned.
