Ingestion: Give 2 glasses of water. IMMEDIATELY call a physician or poison control. Do not induce vomiting.

Fire-fighting measures

Flammability class: IIIB

Flash point: >500 F (Pensky-Martens closed cup)

Flammable limits: n.a.

Extinguishing media: Water, foam, CO2, dry chemical

Special fire-fighting procedures: Wear self contained breathing apparatus and full protective body suit.

Unusual fire and explosion hazard: Decomposition and combustion products may be toxic.

Accidental release measures

Clean up: Observe precautions from other sections. Cover with absorbent material. Collect spilled material. Clean up residue with appropriate solvent. Place in an approved container and seal.

Containment: Cover with absorbent material.

Handling and storage

Precautions in handling and storage: Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapours/fumes. Use in a well-ventilated area.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Eye protection: Safety glasses or goggles with full face shield.

Respiratory protection: Use organic respirator.

Skin protection: Rubber gloves (such as neoprene or nitrile rubber), protective clothing.

Engineering control: Local exhaust recommended.

Stability and reactivity

Incompatibility: Strong oxidising agents, acids, alkalies

Hazardous Decomposition: Not available.

Condition to avoid: Elevated temperatures

Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.

Stability: Stable.

Reactivity hazard: On burning: release of narcotic/asphyxiating gases/vapours carbon monoxide - carbon dioxide. Reacts exothermically on exposure to with (some) acids/bases.

Disposal considerations

Waste disposal: Incinerate in an industrial or commercial facility. Disposal alternative: dispose of completely absorbed waste product in a facility permitted to accept chemical wastes. Since regulations vary, consult applicable regulations or authorities before disposal.

According to literature: no environmental hazard.

Take up liquid spill into inert absorbent material e.g. sand/earth - adsorbed substance: scope closing drums.
