Administrative data
First-aid measures
General information
Remove contaminated soaked clothing immediately.
If you feel unwell, seek medical advice.
After inhalation
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapours.
In the event of symptoms refer for medical treatment.
If patient is not breathing, apply artificial respiration.
After contact with skin
Wash off with soap and plenty of water.
Consult a doctor if skin irritation persists.
After contact with eyes
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.
Seek medical treatment by eye specialist.
After ingestion
Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Summon a doctor immediately.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2), water-spray.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Full water jet
Special exposure hazards arising from substance or preparation itself, combustion products,
resulting gases
Fire may produce:
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Additional information
Vapours are heavier than air and spread along ground.
The vapour/air mixture is explosive, even in empty, uncleaned receptacles.
Cool containers at risk with water spray jet.
Backfire at a long distance is possible.
Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local
regulations.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
In case of vapour formation use respirator.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Remove persons to safety.
Use personal protective clothing.
Keep away sources of ignition.
Observe protective instructions (see Sections 7 and 8 of the Safety Data Sheet).
Environmental precautions
Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods for cleaning up/taking up
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder).
Shovel into suitable container for disposal.
Handling and storage
Handling
Advice on safe handling
Keep container tightly closed.
Do not breathe vapours.
In case of free handling thoroughly sucking off vapours is necessary.
Use only in thoroughly ventilated areas.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Do not smoke.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
STORAGE
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels
Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Advice on storage compatibility
Incompatible with oxidizing agents.
Further information on storage conditions
Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Occupational exposure controls
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Protective and hygiene measures
Do not inhale vapours.
Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Respiratory protection
In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment (gas filter type A).
Hand protection
Impermeable gloves
Requirements can vary as a function of the use. Therefore it is necessary to adhere additionally to the
recommendations given by the manufacturer of protective gloves.
Eye protection
Safety goggles with side protection
Skin protection
Long sleeved clothing.
Stability and reactivity
Conditions to avoid
To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.
Materials to avoid
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Additional information
No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
Disposal considerations
Advice on disposal
Can be incinerated, when in compliance with local regulations.
Where possible recycling is preferred to disposal.
Waste disposal number of waste from residues/unused products
070104 WASTES FROM ORGANIC CHEMICAL PROCESSES; wastes from the manufacture,
formulation, supply and use (MFSU) of basic organic chemicals; other organic solvents,
washing liquids and mother liquors
Classified as hazardous waste.
Contaminated packaging
Empty containers should be taken for local recycling, recovery or waste disposal.
Contaminated packaging should be emptied as far as possible and after appropriate cleansing may be
taken for reuse.
Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of like the product.
