First-aid measures

1. Description of first aid measuresFirst-aid measures general: Remove immediately contaminated clothing.First-aid measures after inhalation: Fresh air, rest. Never attempt to induce vomiting : risk of inhalation. Call a doctor.First-aid measures after skin contact: Wash skin with plenty of water and soap. If necessary seek medical advice.First-aid measures after eye contact: Irrigate copiously with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelids apart. Obtain emergency medical attention.First-aid measures after ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. May result in aspiration into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia. Immediately consult a doctor/medical service.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedNo additional information available3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededNo additional information available

Fire-fighting measures

1. Extinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical powder, foam.Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureFire hazard: In case of fire it can release. carbon oxides (CO and CO2).Reactivity: Reacts with : oxidising compounds and reducing agents.3. Advice for firefightersProtection during firefighting: Use a self-contained breathing apparatus and also a protective suit.

Accidental release measures

1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresGeneral measures: No naked flames, sparks, and do not smoke.1.1. For non-emergency personnelProtective equipment: Wear suitable protective clothing.Emergency procedures: Mark out the contaminated area with signs and prevent access to unauthorized personnel. Spill area may be slippery.1.2. For emergency respondersNo additional information available2. Environmental precautionsUse appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning upFor containment: Prevent spillage from spreading by using sand or earth. Dike and contain spill.Methods for cleaning up: Take up liquid spill into absorbent material, e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite.Other information: Not in groundwater, surfacewater or sewerage. Notify authorities if product enters sewers or public waters.4. Reference to other sectionsNo additional information available

Handling and storage

1. Precautions for safe handlingPrecautions for safe handling: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Hand protection: Wear suitable glovesEye protection: In case of risky circumstances: safety glasses or face shieldSkin and body protection: Wear suitable protective clothingRespiratory protection: Where exposure through inhalation may occur from use, approved respiratory protection equipment is recommended.

Stability and reactivity

1. ReactivityReacts with : oxidising compounds and reducing agents.2. Chemical stabilityStable under normal conditions of use.3. Possibility of hazardous reactionsSelf ignition can occur by autooxidation in with product drenched rags. . Polymerisation can occur above 180 C.4. Conditions to avoidNo naked flames, sparks, and do not smoke.5. Incompatible materialsAlkali. Strong oxidizers. acids.6. Hazardous decomposition productsOn burning: release of carbon monoxide - carbon dioxide. Decomposes on exposure to temperature rise: release of toxic/corrosive/combustible gases/vapours acrolein.

Disposal considerations

Ecology - waste materials: Collect all waste in suitable and labelled containers and dispose according to local legislation.
