Cyclopentylamine

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation: Remove the victim quickly and considering own safety to fresh air, do not let the victim walk! Depending on situation, it is recommended to rinse oral cavity and, if necessary, nose with water. If the victim’s clothing is contaminated, change the victim and protect him/her against cold. Ensure breathing. Call a physician!

If on skin: Remove contaminated clothing immediately; before washing or during washing, remove any rings, watches, bracelets that are in places of contact of the substance with skin. Rinse affected areas with stream of lukewarm water, if possible, for 10 to 30 minutes; do not use a brush, soap or neutralising agents! Cover burned areas of skin with a sterile dressing, do not use any ointments or other medical and pharmaceutical products.  Cover the victim to protect him against cold. Depending on situation, call the rescue service or ensure medical attention.

If in eyes: Rinse eyes immediately under running water, open eyelids (even by force); if the victim wears contact lenses, remove them immediately. Do never neutralise! Rinse for 10 to 30 minutes from the inner to the outer ocular angle to prevent running of water in the other eye. Ensure as soon as possible medical treatment by an expert, if possible; the victim must get medical attention even in case of small injury.

If swallowed: Induce vomiting only if the victim is conscious and only in one hour after ingestion. Give to drink 1 to 2 dcl of lukewarm water with a small spoon of liquid soap and powdered or crushed activated coal corresponding to about 5 tablets. Administrate 10 to 20 crushed tablets of activated coal stirred in water in 5 minutes - irrespective of vomiting. Call a physician immediately!

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed

Causes strong burning and pain of eyes, nasal mucous membrane and pharynges. May cause strong cough, nausea, respiratory distress to loss of consciousness. In any case, seek immediate medical help.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: sprinkled water, powder, foam, CO2

Unsuitable extinguishing media: not specified

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Flammable liquid. Possibility of release of nitrogen oxides. Formation of toxic and explosive mixtures.

Advice for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, special protective clothing!

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Protection of air ways, protection of non-protected body parts, protection of eyes. Ensure ventilation.

Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Take up with absorbent for chemicals or, if necessary with dry sand. Fill into labeled, sealable containers. Also place used cleaning materials into closable receptacles.

Handling and storage

Handling

Handle in closed, grounded apparatus. Ensure proper ventilation and including at floor level.

Make sure all pipelines, tanks and equipment are leakproof.

Organize work procedures so that workers are not exposed to the effects of the products. Vent

waste air only via suitable separators or scrubbers.

Storage

Store in easily ventilated rooms in original packages or in steel tanks. The highest allowable storing temperature is 10 °C. Do not store together with foodstuffs, strong oxidising agents and strong inorganic acids.
