First-aid measures

Description of first aid measures

Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in recovery position and transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety.

If inhaled:

Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact:

Immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist.

On contact with eyes:

Immediately wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion:

Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

dry powder, carbon dioxide, water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

nitrogen monoxide, toxic gases/vapours

The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

Advice for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information:

Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems.

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 small amounts: Rinse with plenty of water.

For large amounts: Vacuum up spilled product.

To clean the floor and all objects contaminated by this material, use plenty of water. Collect waste in suitable containers, which can be labeled and sealed. Incinerate or take to a special waste disposal site in accordance with local authority regulations.

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 and acid forming substances.

Suitable materials for containers: High density polyethylene (HDPE), Stainless steel 1.4301 (V2), Glass reinforced plastic (GRP), steel

Suitable materials for containers: glass, Low density polyethylene (LDPE)

Further information on storage conditions: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place. Keep at temperature not exceeding 25 °C.

Storage stability:

Storage duration: 24 Months

From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the warrantee of application properties can be deduced.

Protect from temperatures below: 15 °C

Protect from temperatures above: 25 °C

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Components with workplace control parameters

Observe the appropriate occupational exposure limit.

67-56-1: methanol

      TWA value 260 mg/m3 ; 200 ppm (OEL (EU))

indicative

      Skin Designation  (OEL (EU))

The substance can be absorbed through the skin.

Exposure controls

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed.

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

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 conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eye protection:

Tightly fitting safety goggles (splash goggles) (e.g. EN 166)

Body protection:

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).

General safety and hygiene measures

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Do not breathe vapour/spray. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Store work clothing separately.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Corrosion to metals:

No data available.

Chemical stability

The product is stable if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Evolution of heat under influence of acids. Violent reaction with phosphorus pentoxide. May react with oxidizing agents. Reacts with aldehydes. Reacts with diisocyanates. Reacts with carbon dioxide. Reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid. Reacts with strong acids. Incompatible with acid chlorides and acid anhydrides.

Conditions to avoid

Avoid contact with air.

Incompatible materials

Substances to avoid:

acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, strong oxidizing agents

Hazardous decomposition products

No hazardous decomposition products known.

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations.

Check for possible recycling.

Contaminated packaging:

Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible; then it can be passed on for recycling after being thoroughly cleaned.
