General protective and hygiene measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist.Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.
Use protective skin cream before handling the product.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Engineering measures
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
We declare that the substance is manufactured and used under strictly controlled conditions during its whole lifecycle. Furthermore, we have received confirmation from the user that the synthesis of other substance from this intermediate takes place under strictly controlled conditions during its whole lifecycle as described under Article 18(4) and Section 2.1 of the Guidance for Intermediates.
Effectiveness:
Prevention of exposure since the substance is rigorously contained by technical means during its whole lifecycle and procedural and control technologies are used to minimise emission and any resulting exposure as described under Article 18(4).

Hazardous decomposition products
Gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl).
Phosgene
Thermal decomposition
> 400 °C
Heatup rate: 10 K/min
Measuring method: DTA
Materials to avoid
Water
Alcohols
Bases
Amines
Metals
Strong oxidizing agents
Risk of violent reaction.
Disposal considerations
Disposal considerations
Dispose of in accordance with the European Directives on waste and hazardous waste. Waste codes should be assigned by the user, preferably in discussion with the waste disposal authorities.
Can be incinerated, when in compliance with local regulations.
Uncleaned empty packaging
Dispose of as unused product.
