Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
General advice:
Under the shower: Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. including shoes.
Inhalation:
Inhalation of mists Move patient from contaminated area to fresh air. Oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. Keep under medical surveillance. In case of problems : Hospitalise.
Skin contact:
Wash immediately, abundantly and thoroughly with water. Consult a physician. In case of extensive burns, hospitalize.
Eye contact:
Wash open eyes immediately, abundantly and thoroughly for at least 15 minutes. Consult an ophthalmologist immediately.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth and lips with plenty of water if the subject is conscious, then hospitalize.
Protection of first-aiders:If entering a saturated atmosphere, wear a self contained breathing apparatus. Protective suit
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray, Dry powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Special foam for polar solvents
Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Flammable liquid, Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Possible re-ignition of vapours from a distance.
Warm impregnated insulating material can, with time, ignite spontaneously. Thermal decomposition giving flammable and toxic products :, Carbon oxides (by combustion), Organic vapours
Precautions for fire-fighters: Specific methods:
Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Ensure containers can be rapidly moved. In case of fire nearby, remove exposed containers.
Special protective actions for fire-fighters:
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Complete suit protecting against chemicals
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of vapours.
Environmental precautions:
Dam up with sand or inert earth (do not use combustible materials). Should not be released into the environment. Do not let product enter drains.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Recovery: Pump into a labelled inert emergency tank. Moist product : 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: Technical measures/Precautions:
Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: Liquid. Flammable. Irritant. With vapours explosive in air. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide showers, eye-baths. Provide water supplies near the point of use. Provide fire-blanket nearby. Provide waterproof electrical equipment. Provide electrical earthing of equipment.
Safe handling advice: Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke. Do not use air for transfers. Keep well away from naked flames. Avoid accumulation of static charges during transfers in metallic systems.
Hygiene measures:
Avoid inhalation of vapours. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. 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 protected from moisture and heat. Remove all sources of ignition. Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Provide a catch-tank in a bunded area. Provide waterproof electrical equipment. Provide electrical earthing of equipment and electrical equipment usable in explosive atmospheres.
Incompatible products: Strong oxidizing agents
Packaging material:
Recommended: Stainless steel, Iron, Protected glass (for small quantities)
Specific use(s) (End Use): None.
