A mixture of: 2,2-dimethoxyethanal (this component is considered to be anhydrous in terms of identity, structure and composition. However, 2,2-dimethoxyethanal will exist in a hydrated form. 60% anhydrous is equivalent to 70.4% hydrate); water(Including free water and water in hydrated 2,2-dimethoxyethanal)

Administrative data
First-aid measures
- Emergency measure - Inhalation: It does not appear that there could be a direct hazard following an inhalation but, if symptoms appear, call a doctor and show the safety data sheet.
- Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water and get medical advice/attention.
- Emergency measure - Skin: Rinse with water and soap. Take off contaminated clothes.
- Emergency measure - Ingestion: Call a doctor and whow the safety data sheet.
Fire-fighting measures
- Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, chemical agents, water, carbon dioxide and other agents. It is considered that there is no adverse reaction to the usual extinguishing agents.
- Product arising from burning: Complete combustion results in the formation of carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion can lead to the formation of carbon monoxide.
- Product determined by test: N
- Protective equipment: Breathing equipment, eye protection, protective gloves and protective clothing should be worn as required.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage:
Collect the material by absorbing with sand, sawdust or other suitable material, and eliminate using methods suitable for hazardous waste.
Clean the area with water while ensuring that there is no contamination of waterways.
Appropriate personal protective clothing should be worn.
Handling and storage
- Handling: It is recommended to wear personal protective equipment including gloves, eye protection as well as protective clothing.
- Storage: 5 - 15°C in a ventilated area
- Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The substance will be stored in storage tanks. Transport will be mainly in bulk. It is not currently planned to transport or store the substance in containers; if necessary, however, polyethylene containers would be considered suitable.
