Administrative data
First-aid measures
Burns: Flush with water immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital.
Inhalation: Immediately remove from further exposure. Get immediate medical assistance. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others. Use adequate respiratory protection. Give supplemental oxygen, if available. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device.
Skin contact: Initial emergency treatment should consist of washing with large amounts of 5% acetic acid (aqueous vinegar) alternating with soap and water, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Continue regime for at least 15 minutes, although the acetic acid may be discontinued
once the stickiness is gone. In all cases, large amounts of plain water rinsing for 5 minutes is the final step. If 5% acetic acid is not immediately available, wash with plenty of water until 5% acetic acid can be obtained. Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Eye contact: Important! Immediately rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove any contact lenses and open eyes wide apart. Get medical attention immediately. Continue to rinse.
Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth and drink a cupful of water. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Itching, redness, swelling, burning or blistering of skin. Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite,
gastrointestinal irritation and/or diarrhea. Nasal discharge, hoarseness, coughing, chest pain and breathing difficulty.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treat as alkaline substance (similar to ammonia). Observe for latent pulmonary edema.
Fire-fighting measures
The product is highly flammable, and explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed even at normal room temperatures.
Suitable extinguishing media: Extinguish with foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder or water fog.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: By heating and fire, toxic and corrosive vapors/gases may be formed.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Selection of respiratory protection for fire fighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace.
Special firefighting procedures: Use carbon dioxide or dry powder for small fires. Use aqueous film forming foam for large fires. Water spray should be used to cool structures and vessels.
Accidental release measures
For non-emergency personnel: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking. Ventilate. Avoid inhalation of vapours. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing.
For emergency responders: Keep unnecessary personnel away.
Environmental precautions: Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Absorb spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material.
Handling and storage
All handling to take place in well-ventilated area. Local exhaust is recommended. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Do not smoke and do not spray near a naked flame or other sources of ignition. The product is flammable, and heating may generate vapours which may form explosive vapour/air mixtures. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel along the floor and in the bottom of containers. Vapours may be ignited by a spark, a hot surface or an ember. Ground container and transfer equipment to eliminate static electric sparks. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Follow rules for flammable liquids. Do not store near heat sources or expose to high temperatures. Store away from incompatible materials.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Appropriate engineering controls: Provide adequate ventilation and minimise the risk of inhalation of vapours and mists. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/face protection: Wear approved chemical safety goggles where eye exposure is reasonably probable. In addition to goggles, wear a face shield where a splash to the face is reasonably possible.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Wear protective gloves. Viton gloves are recommended. Other protective materials may be used, depending on the situation, if adequate degradation and permeation data is available. If other chemicals are used in conjunction with this chemical, material selection should be based on protection for all chemicals present. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact.
Respiratory protection: In case of inadequate ventilation or when the product is heated, use suitable respiratory equipment with gas filter (type A2). Seek advice from supervisor on the company's respiratory protection standards.
Thermal hazards: Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Hygiene measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
Environmental exposure controls: Contain spills and prevent releases and observe national regulations on emissions.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: Not available.
Chemical stability: Stable under normal temperature conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Will not occur.
Conditions to avoid: Heat, sparks, flames. Ignition sources.
Incompatible materials: Avoid contact with acids and oxidising substances. Nitrites. Copper and copper alloys. Cellulose nitrate.
Hazardous decomposition products: Carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide. Additional decomposition products include oxides of nitrogen, cyanides, and nitriles.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Residual waste: Require attentions mentioned in the "Handling and storage" section and general attentions on flammable and harmful liquid.
Contaminated packaging: Since emptied containers may retain product residue, follow label warnings even after container is emptied.
The Waste code should be assigned in discussion between the user, the producer and the waste disposal company.
Disposal methods/information: Disposal recommendations are based on material as supplied. Disposal must be in accordance with current applicable laws and regulations, and material characteristics at time of disposal.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
