First-aid measures

General:

Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Inhalation :

Move into fresh air and keep at rest. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin contact :

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Eye contact :

Get medical attention if symptoms occur. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.

Ingestion :

DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Do not give victim anything to drink if he is unconscious. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.

Fire-fighting measures

General fire hazards:

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Suitable extinguishing media:

Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon dioxide. Dry chemical.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread fire.

Specific hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In case of fire, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide may be formed

Special fire fighting procedures:

Take precautionary measures against static discharges. To prevent and minimize fire or explosion risk from static accumulation and discharge, effectively bond and/or ground product transfer system.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters :

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions :

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid contact with liquid and vapors. Use personal protective equipment. Use only in well-ventilated areas.

Environmental precautions :

Do not allow runoff to sewer, waterway or ground.

Methods for cleaning up :

Absorb spillage with suitable absorbent material. Shovel up and place in a container for salvage or disposal.

Other:

Remove sources of ignition. In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and surfaces

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling :

Do not taste or swallow. Avoid breathing mists or vapors. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Storage conditions:

Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Keep away from heat and flame. Keep container closed.

Storage stability: Stable

Exposure controls / personal protection

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment.

General information:

Use only in well-ventilated areas. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Wash hands after handling. Practice good housekeeping.

Eye/face protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166

Hand protection:

Advice: There is no risk to health due to contact with the chemical. Use hand protection to prevent mechanically injuries.

Other skin protection:

Safety shoes. Long sleeeve

Respiratory protection:

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Hygiene measures:

Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Wash hands after handling. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide adequate ventilation.

Appropriate engineering controls:

Eyewash bottle with clean water. No special requirements under ordinary conditions of use and with adequate ventilation. Use only in well-ventilated areas.

Environmental exposure controls:

No release to wastewater from process as such, wastewater emissions limited to release generated from final equipment cleaning step using water.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity: No data available

Chemical stability: Material is stable under normal conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions: Hazardous polymerisation does not occur.

Conditions to avoid: Heat

Incompatible materials: Reacts with water or moisture to form: Ethanol

Hazardous decomposition products:

In case of fire, gives off (emits): Carbon oxides Oxides of silicon. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic if inhaled; carbon dioxide in sufficient concentrations can act as an asphyxiant. Acute overexposure to the products of combustion may result in irritation of the respiratory tract.

Disposal considerations

The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

Disposal methods: Can be incinerated, when in compliance with local regulations.
