2-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine-1,3-benzenedicarboxylate

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if

necessary and seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.

Seek immediate medical attention.

Emergency measure - Skin: Wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical

attention if irritation develops.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: CO2, dry chemical, foam or water spray.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen

oxides).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards, as

mentioned in section 2.3.10.

Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material

(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original substance containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent. Do not

direct washings to the drain.

Dispose of waste material at a commercial chemical waste

disposal facility in accordance with local regulations by

incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under

conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with

any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374.

Chemical protective clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166.

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be

used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,

be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate

international or national standards, such as a dust mask

conforming to EN149 FFP1.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: The preparation is stored in the transport drums or in bulk

storage dedicated head tanks, away from sources of heat and

bright light.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 200 litre drums or bulk tanks.

SpecialProvisions

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: None known

Chemical reaction with water: None known to be hazardous.

Dust explosion: Not anticipated. The substance is only used within the EU as

a component of an aqueous preparation.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration. Due to quality control, it is

also not possible to recover materials from major spillages,

and such spilled material would also be incinerated.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance a skin

sensitiser and is harmful to aquatic organisms.

No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise these

hazardous health and environmental properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers are returned to the non-EU

manufacturer for reuse. The usage site is fully bunded to

prevent release. Spillages of solutions are disposed of by

incineration by an authorised waste disposal company.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

must be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and

nitrogen oxides) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance will not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment. However,

adverse effects  on sewage treatment systems would be

unlikely.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
