Exposure controls / personal protection

Respiratory protection       

In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.

Respirator with a gas filter ( Recommended Filter type: A)

Hand protection       

Impervious butyl rubber gloves

Material thickness:       0,7 mm

Break through time:       > 480 min

Reference substance:       Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).

Eye protection       

Tightly fitting safety goggles

Skin and body protection       

Wear suitable protective equipment.

General protective and hygiene measures       

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Do not breathe vapours or spray mist.

Engineering measures       

Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.

We declare that the substance is manufactured under strictly controlled conditions during its whole lifecycle. Furthermore, we have received confirmation from the user that the synthesis of other substance from this intermediate takes place under strictly controlled conditions during its whole lifecycle as described under Article 18(4) and Section 2.1 of the Guidance for Intermediates.

Effectiveness:

Prevention of exposure since the substance is rigorously contained by technical means during its whole lifecycle and procedural and control technologies are used to minimise emission and any resulting exposure as described under Article 18(4).

Occupational Exposure Limit

Type of limit MAK (DE) 1 ml/m3

Stability and reactivity

Hazardous decomposition products       

Gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl), chloroacetic acid.

Hazardous reactions       

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

Materials to avoid       

Incompatible with strong acids and bases.

Oxidizing agents

Disposal considerations

Disposal considerations       

Dispose of in accordance with the European Directives on waste and hazardous waste. Waste codes should be assigned by the user, preferably in discussion with the waste disposal authorities.

Can be incinerated, when in compliance with local regulations.

Uncleaned empty packaging       

Dispose of as unused product.
