First-aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
General advice
First aider needs to protect himself. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Medical treatment is necessary if symptoms occur which are obviously caused by skin or eye contact with the product or by inhalation of its vapours.
Inhalation
Move subject to fresh air and keep him calm. See a physician.
Skin contact
Wash off immediately with soap and water. If skin irritation occurs consult a physician.
Eye contact
Flush eyes thoroughly with a large amount of water and consult a physician.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Skin sensitizer
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
High volume water jet
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
May be released in case of fire: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organic products of decomposition.
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Special fire fighting procedures:
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take action to prevent static discharges. Use explosion-proof equipment. In the event of fire, cool
the endangered containers with water. Vapours are heavier than air and can form an explosive mixture with air. When heated above the flash point
and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible mixtures may form in air.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Assure sufficient ventilation. Use personal protective clothing. Keep away sources of ignition. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/mist/aerosol. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Prevent product from getting into drains/surface water/groundwater. Contain spilled product and prevent any contamination of soil, the sewer system or water bodies.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Larger quantities: Remove mechanically (by pumping). Use explosion-proof equipment! Smaller quantities and/or residues: Contain with absorbent material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid absorbent, universal absorbent or sawdust). Dispose of in accordance with regulations.
6.4. Reference to other sections
For personal protection see section 8. For disposal considerations see section 13.
Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Safe handling advice
Do not breathe vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Keep container tightly closed. Provide good room
ventilation even at ground level (vapours are heavier than air). Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take action to prevent static
discharges. Use explosion-proof equipment. In the event of fire, cool the endangered containers with water. Vapours are heavier than air and can
form an explosive mixture with air. When heated above the flash point and/or during spraying (atomizing), ignitible mixtures may form in air.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage areas and containers
Protect from the action of light. Fill the container by approximately 90 % only as oxygen (air) is required for stabilisation. With large storage containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is sufficient to ensure stability. Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C. Can polymerize with intense heat release.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
We are unaware of any specific end uses which go beyond the data reported in Section 1.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection: tightly fitting goggles
Hand Protection: Material: butyl rubber gloves
Glove thickness: 0.3 mm
Guideline: EN 374
Additional Information: Suitable as spray protection.
Material: nitrile rubber gloves
Break-through time: 480 min
Glove thickness: 0.4 mm
Guideline: EN 374
Additional Information: Please observe the instructions regarding
permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of
the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under
which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the
contact time., The above mentioned hand protection is based on special
knowledge of the chemical and the intended handling of this product,
however, it still may not be suited for all workplaces. A qualified hazard
assessment should be made prior to the onset of work in order to determine
the suitability of gloves for specific working environments and processes.,
Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of
degradation or chemical breakthrough.
Skin and Body Protection: On handling of larger quantities: face mask, chemical-resistant boots and
apron

Disposal methods: Waste is hazardous. It must be disposed of in accordance with the
regulations after consultation of the competent local authorities and the
disposal company in a suitable and licensed facility. Strictly controlled
conditions during disposal or treatment to air, wastewater and waste. Do
not add wastewater to a biological wastewater treatment plant Bring
wastewater containing AOX for professional disposal. The waste key
number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List
(decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the
disposal firm / producing firm / official authority.
Contaminated Packaging: Contaminated packaging should ideally be emptied; it can then be recycled
after having been decontaminated. Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of professionally.
Uncontaminated packaging may be taken for recycling.
