Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice:
Move out of dangerous area.
Consult a physician.
Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Do not leave the victim unattended.
If inhaled:
If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
In case of skin contact:
Immediate medical treatment is necessary as untreated
wounds from corrosion of the skin heal slowly and with
difficulty.
If on skin, rinse well with water.
If on clothes, remove clothes.
In case of eye contact:
Small amounts splashed into eyes can cause irreversible
tissue damage and blindness.
In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty
of water and seek medical advice.
Continue rinsing eyes during transport to hospital.
Remove contact lenses.
Protect unharmed eye.
Keep eye wide open while rinsing.
If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
If swallowed:
Keep respiratory tract clear.
Do NOT induce vomiting.
Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Take victim immediately to hospital.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Dry chemical
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
High volume water jet
Specific hazards during firefighting:
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
courses.
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if
necessary.
Further information:
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This
must not be discharged into drains.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
For safety reasons in case of fire, cans should be stored
separately in closed containments.
Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions:
Use personal protective equipment.
Remove all sources of ignition.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive
concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent product from entering drains.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.
Methods for cleaning up:
Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible
absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth,
vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to
local / national regulations
Handling and storage
Advice on safe handling:
Avoid formation of aerosol.
Do not breathe vapours/dust.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
For personal protection see section 8.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the
application area.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Open drum carefully as content may be under pressure.
To avoid spills during handling keep bottle on a metal tray.
Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national
regulations.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material.
Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge
(which might cause ignition of organic vapours).
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of
ignition.
Requirements for storage areas and containers:
No smoking.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and
kept upright to prevent leakage.
Electrical installations / working materials must comply with
the technological safety standards.
Other data:
No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Production and use of the intermediate exclusively take place in closed stirrer vessels, which during reaction are superposed by nitrogen, in batch operation. Most of the raw materials are dosed from subterranean tanks through pipes to the production vessels. Bulk raw materials are pumped with suitable pumps to the production vessels. In areas where raw materials are handled in open containers, drums or pails, local exhaust ventilation is installed and used. The intermediate is transferred through pipes to the packaging stations.
All processes related to production, use, transfer within the pipework of the production/use facilities and packaging are controlled by a fully automated process control system which itself is controlled by properly trained staff. Each process step is double-checked by both the computer system and a human operator in the control room.
The drumming/packaging stations are fully automated as well and controlled by a human operator. Emerging exhaust, if any, is locally evacuated. Vapors emerging from any process during manufacturing, filling into drums and other containers, storage and use of the intermediate are locally evacuated and treated by either thermal incineration at temperatures above 850 °C or they are burned catalytically.
The system for treating emerging process gases and vapors is designed for highly volatile organic solvents (VOC) which are also used in the registrant's production and use sites. Those VOCs are likely to become airborne during production. Therefore, the risk management measures applied are adjusted to cope with those VOCs. Since the intermediate has a much lower volatility, the risk management measures are highly over-dimensioned with respect to their low volatility. The low volatility of the intermediate is determined by its relatively high molecular weight.
No part of the production equipment is connected to the local wastewater system. No wastewater is generated in any process related to the intermediate. There are generally no emissions into the local sewage water system or into any other water system, e.g. draining rainwater etc. Due to the thermal treatment of process gases and vapors, airborne emissions from the registrant’s production plants can be neglected.
It is important to note that no manual handling whatsoever occurs during routine operations in all production and use processes of the intermediate. Synthesis of the intermediate takes place in solution, i.e. the intermediate does not exist in its pure form. All operations are carried out in the closed equipment, i.e. reaction vessels, storage tanks and the associated pipework. In the unlikely event of spillage during production and use processes due to a malfunction of the automatic system, the human operator dealing with the situation is protected by chemical resistant gloves or respiratory protection equipment, if needed. Those PPE are able to cope with the severe hazard of the solvents used elsewhere in the production and use processes and are highly over-dimensioned with respect to the non volatile intermediate.
Detailed documentation acc. to art. 18 is available upon request by authorities from registrant.
