Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Carbon dioxide (CO2), powder or water spray .

In case of large fires use water spray and alcohol resistant

foam.

Product arising from burning: Carbon dioxides.

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Wear full protective clothing; wear self-contained breathing

apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Personal precautions:

Do not inhalate. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Remove all sources of ignition.

Environmental precautions:

Do not flush into surface water or ground water system.

Eventual spillage upon loading is cleaned by operators with

the described Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and waste

properly handled (internal or external disposal).

Handling and storage

Handling: Exposure potential to Ethylene glycol mono-tert-butyl ether

is limited to sampling and charging. For both operations are

in place procedures and a containment system, as fixed

exhaust system, to assure that exposure is negligible. In

addition Clariant LSM performs on a routine basis air

quality analyses in workplaces. All workers are under

medical control and clinical analyses in accordance with

applicable regulation.

All operators have been adequately trained on the internal

procedures and use always the following standard Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE): helmet, glasses and safety

shoes. All operators have in their equipment also specific

PPE: full face mask with combined filter, safety gloves and

protective overall (e.g. Tyvek).

Storage: Drums stored in dedicated area with fire-fighting system and

chemical sewer collected to the on-site waste water

treatment plant.

Avoid ignition sources. Ensure good local exhaust

ventilation. Do not eat, drink or smoke at the workplace.

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 180 Kg steel drums.
