Administrative data

First-aid measures

First aid general principles - Important information

In case of doubt or in the presence of symptoms contact a physician, and show him/her the material safety data sheet. In case of severe symptoms, call your local health care emergency number. Call a poison control center in order to receive toxicological advice for the clinical management of poisoning. Do not administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

First aid general principles - Inhalation

In the case of respiratory symptoms (cough, dyspnea) move the person to fresh air, place in a semi-seated position, and administer oxygen. Provide artificial respiration if the person is not breathing.

First aid general principles - Skin contact

Flush the skin with copious amounts of water (and soap, if possible) for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician if there are symptoms of skin irritation and/or pain.

First aid general principles - Eye contact

Remove contact lenses. Flush the eyes, kept open, with copious amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a physician, especially if there are symptoms of eye irritation and/or pain.

First aid general principles – Ingestion

Do not administer anything by mouth unless advised to do so by a poison control center. Do not induce emesis. Rinse the mouth and consult a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

General information

Move all people away and stay upwind of the fire. Do not enter closed rooms without adequate protection.

Suitable extinguishing media

No special estinguishing media is advisable for this substance. Use the standard estinguishing media. In the choice of extinguishing media, consider the other materials involved in the fire.

Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons

None.

Exposure hazards arising from the substance itself, combustion products, resulting gases

In the case of fire, irritant or toxic fumes may develop from the substance and from the other materials involved in the fire. Carbon monoxide poisoning may occur.

Protective equipment for fire-fighters

No special equipment for this substance is needed. Use standard fire-fighters equipments.

Accidental release measures

General measures

In case of spills, do not allow the substance entering drains and watercourses.

Personal precautions

Wear protective clothes and respiratory protection.

Environmental precautions

Cover the drains to prevent the product from entering the environment. If the product contaminates rivers, lakes or drains inform local authorities.

Methods for cleaning up

Remove large spills using inert absorbent material if needed. The material must be disposed in accordance with local and national regulations.

Handling and storage

Take the necessary measures to avoid human and environmental exposure.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1. Technical protection measures

In workplace, as a minimum, good general ventilation (3-5 air changes per hour) [Effectiveness Inhalation: 30%] must be implemented.

During formulation of the substance (i.e. use named ES1 (F) Formulation of the substance) local exhaust ventilation is not mandatory; however, respiratory protection could be necessary (check point 7. Respiratory protection).

During industrial use of the substance (i.e. use named ES2 (IS) Industrial use in a polymerisation process) local exhaust ventilation (LEV) have to be used in all tasks of use identifiable with PROC 8b (General transferring operations from/to vessels or containers with provision of dedicated engineering controls in place for reducing exposure). During these tasks (PROC 8b) LEV with a minumum effectiveness for inhalation of 80% have to be used.

2. Organisational protection measures

Assumes a good basic standard of occupational hygiene is implemented.

3. Hand protection

For all uses of the substance and in all tasks of use, for dermal protection use chemically resistant gloves conforming to EN374 with basic employee training.

4. Feet protection

Feet protection is not mandatory as a result of Chemical Safety Assessment of the substance; however, it could be regarded as a good practice in industry.

5. Body protection

Body protection is not mandatory as a result of Chemical Safety Assessment of the substance; however, it could be regarded as a good practice in industry.

6. Eye protection

Eye must be protect during use of the substance. Wear chemically resistant goggles or face shield.

7. Respiratory protection

During formulation of the substance (i.e. use named ES1 (F) Formulation of the substance) respiratory protection have to be used in the following tasks:

- PROC 4 (Production of mixtures where opportunity for exposure arises) - Respirator with APF of 20 (Effectiveness Inhalation: 95%)

- PROC 8a (Transfer of substance or mixture (charging and discharging) without dedicated engineering controls in place for reducing exposure) - Respirator with APF of 10 (Effectiveness Inhalation: 90%)

- PROC 8b (General transferring operations from/to vessels or containers with provision of dedicated engineering controls in place for reducing exposure) - Respirator with APF of 10 (Effectiveness Inhalation: 90%)

During industrial use of the substance (i.e. use named ES2 (IS) Industrial use in a polymerisation process) respiratory protection have to be used in the following tasks:

- PROC 8b (General transferring operations from/to vessels or containers with provision of dedicated engineering controls in place for reducing exposure) - Respirator with APF of 10 (Effectiveness Inhalation: 90%).

Stability and reactivity

The substance is stable under normal conditions of use.

Disposal considerations

For disposal purposes, the substance is considered as special waste. If needed, contact a center authorized to dispose of this type of waste. Do not dispose of the product in the environment.
