First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
Remove contaminated clothing.
If inhaled:
Keep patient calm, move 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.
On ingestion:
Immediately rinse mouth and then drink 200-300 ml of water, seek medical attention.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no specific antidote known.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Advice for fire-fighters
Special protective equipment:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Further information:
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For large amounts: Allow to solidify and sweep/shovel up.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder, kieselguhr).
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Ensure 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 should be kept handy.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Segregate from acids. Segregate from oxidants.
Suitable materials for containers: carbon steel (iron), glass
Further information on storage conditions: Keep under dry nitrogen.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Components with workplace control parameters
87-62-7: 2,6-xylidine
Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Breathing protection if dusts are formed. Combination filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds and solid and liquid particles (f.e. EN 14387 Type A-P2)
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other
Use additional heat protection gloves when handling hot molten masses (EN 407), e.g. of textile or leather.
Manufacturer'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 glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many parameters (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
General safety and hygiene measures
The product can be delivered hot. Take care: risk of burns! Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wearing of closed work clothing is required additionally to the stated personal protection equipment.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Corrosion to metals:
Corrosive effects to metal are not anticipated.
Chemical stability
The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Evolution of heat under influence of acids.
The product is chemically stable.
Conditions to avoid
Incompatible materials
Substances to avoid:
acids, oxidizing agents
Hazardous decomposition products
Possible decomposition products:
formaldehyde, ammonia
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.
Contaminated packaging:
Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; after being thoroughly cleaned it can be passed on for recycling.
