First-aid measures

General advice: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.

Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison control center.

Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Protection of first-aiders: If entering a saturated atmosphere, wear a self contained breathing apparatus. Protective suit

Fire-fighting measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, and full protective gear.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Will burn if involved in a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapours may form explosive mixture with air., Thermal decomposition giving toxic products:, Carbon oxides (by combustion)

Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet

Advice for firefighters: Cool containers / tanks with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapours. Ensure

adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions: Do not release into the environment. Do not let product enter drains. Dam up with sand or inert earth (do not use combustible materials).

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Recovery: Pump into a labelled inert emergency tank. Absorb the remainder with an inert absorbent material.

Elimination: Destroy the product by incineration (in accordance with local and national regulations).

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide showers, eye-baths. Provide self-contained breathing apparatus nearby. Well

ventilate empty vats and tanks before entering.

Keep well away from naked flames. Provide electrical earthing of equipment and electrical equipment usable in explosive atmospheres. Take

precautionary measures against static discharges.

Hygiene measures:

Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid exposure to vapor. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.

Wash hands after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store away from heat and ignition sources. Store at ambient temperature. Provide a catch-tank in a bunded area. Provide electrical earthing

of equipment and electrical equipment usable in explosive atmospheres.

Incompatible products: Strong acids, Halogens, Oxidizing agents

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure Limits

Chemical Name       ACGIH       NIOSH       OSHA - Final PELs

2-Octanol       none listed       none listed       none listed

General protective measures:

Ensure sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work areas

On each manufacture or use site, clearly-written substance-handling procedures should be

available, kept up-to-date and their implementation controlled.

Use material of high integrity for loading and unloading.

Investigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures.

Routine monitoring and inspections for leaks to reduce fugitive emissions.

Frequently monitor and control the working atmosphere.

Personal protective equipment:

Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Hand protection: PVC gloves

Eye/face protection: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles conform to European Standard EN166.

Skin and body protection: Protective suit

Stability and reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.

Conditions to Avoid: Incompatible materials, ignition sources, excess heat.

Incompatibilities with Other Materials: Strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.

Disposal considerations

Chemical waste generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is classified as a hazardous waste.

Disposal of product: Destroy the product by incineration (in accordance with local and national regulations).
