Administrative data
First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move the exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give
oxygen. Get medical attention if symptoms continue.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Flush eyes with water immediately while holding the eyelids
open. Remove contact lenses, if worn, after initial flushing
and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if irritation persists.
Emergency measure - Skin: To remove the material from skin, use soap and water.
Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean
before re-use. Get medical attention if any symptoms develop
.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Give the person a
glass of water or milk to drink and get immediate medical
attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Extinguishing media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or
carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
Protection of fire fighters:
Fire fighting instructions: This material will burn although
it is not easily ignited. For fires involving this
material, do not enter any enclosed or confined space
without proper protective equipment, including self-
contained breathing apparatus.
Product arising from burning: Combustion products: Highly dependent on combustion
conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solids, liquids
and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and
unidentified organic compounds will be evolved when this
material undergoes combustion.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed
or confined space without proper protective equipment,
including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Protective measures: eliminate all sources of ignition in
the vicinity of the spill or released vapor. If the
material is released into the work area, evacuate the area
immediately. Monitor area with combustible gas indicator.
Spill management: stop the source of the release if you can
do it without risk. Contain to prevent further contamination
of soil, surface water or ground water. Clean up spill as
soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques
such as applying non-combustible sorbent materials or
pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated
soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers
and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable
regulations. Spill residues and contaminated soil may be
deodorized using dilute (5%) aqueous solutions of bleach
(sodium hypochlorite). Alternatively, household bleach in a
pure solution may be used. Do not use concentrated or dry
bleach. Absorb in dry, inert material. Do not attempt to
neutralize or deodorize bulk liquid mercaptan. Concentrated
bleach will cause heating and possible ignition. Attempts to
neutralize bulk liquid mercaptan with bleach solutions will
be ineffective and only serve to increase the amount of
liquid to dispose.
Handling and storage
Handling: Precautionary Measures: Avoid breathing vapor or fumes which
may be released through thermal processing.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and
create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To
minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be
necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review
all operations, which have the potential of generating an
accumulation of electrostatic charge and/or a flammable
atmosphere, and use appropriate mitigating procedures.
Engineering controls: If heated material generates vapor or
fumes, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or
other engineering controls to control exposure. Use in a
well-ventilated area.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear suitable eye protection such as
safety glasses, chemical goggles, or face-shields if
engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to
prevent eye contact.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious clothing to prevent skin
contact. Selection of protective clothing may include
gloves, apron, boots and complete facial protection
depending on operations conducted. Users should determine
acceptable performance characteristics of protective
clothing. Suggested materials for protective gloves include
:Neoprene or Nitrile Rubber.
Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is
normally required. If heating material generates vapor of
fumes that are not adequately controlled by ventilation,
wear a NIOSH approved respirator. Use the following elements
for air-purifying respirators: Air Purifying Respirator for
Organic Vapors, Dusts and Mists. Use a positive pressure,
air-supplying respirator if there is potential for
uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or
other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not
provide adequate protection.
Storage: The material will be stored in a heated tank under nitrogen
atmosphere.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Initial production is into railcars for transport to the EU,
then possibly off load into lorries.

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without
risk. Contain to prevent further contamination of soil,
surface water or ground water. Clean up spill as soon as
possible, observing precautions in Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques
such as applying non-combustible sorbent materials or
pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated
soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers
and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable
regulations.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Spill residues and contaminated soil may be deodorized using
dilute (5%) aqueous solutions of bleach (sodium
hypochlorite). Alternatively, household bleach in a pure
solution may be used. Do not use concentrated or dry bleach.
Absorb in dry, inert material. Do not attempt to
neutralizeor deodorize bulk liquid mercaptan. Concentrated
bleach will cause heating and possible ignition. Attempts
to neutralize bulk liquid mercaptan with bleach
solutions will be ineffective and only serve to increase the
amount of liquid to dispose
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Any liquid waste from spills or contaminated raw material
will be shipped to a registered waste disposal facility.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: No liquid waste is anticipated from storage and transfer
activities.
