Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
- General information: Remove the patient from the source of exposure immediately. Normal first aid. Keep calm and warm in fresh air. If unconsciousness, loosen tight-fitting clothes and place in a stable side lying position. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration aid and if heart has stopped, give heart compression. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
- After skin contact: Contaminated clothing to be removed. Wash with soap and water. Obtain medical aid if the person feels unwell.
- After eye contact: Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medical aid if irritation persists.
- After swallowing: Conscious people: Induce vomiting (a finger in the throath or large quantities of milk). Keep head low to avoid content in stomach to reach lungs. Seek medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Ethyl-NENA is an energetic material and can deflagrate or explode during a fire. Extinguishing can be attempted only if the liquid is unconfined and in small quantities.
- Advice for fire fighter: NEVER try by hand to extinguish fire around containers containing Ethyl-NENA. Immediate evacuate the area and contact the fire service. Use unmanned or remote fire hoses.
In case of fire and/or explosion, do not breath fumes.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid impact, friction or other sources of ignition. Risk of explosion. Avoid skin contact and breathing of vapors. Use necessary personal protection.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Waste is collected with absorption material. Store waste in closed containers.
Handling and storage
- Precautions for safe handling: Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition. Handle with care. All handling as far as possible in ventilated systems. Keep containers well closed when not in use. Avoid breathing of vapors or skin contact.
- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Stored in tight closed containers and only in places approved for explosives. Smoking and use of open fire near explosives is prohibited.

Exposure controls / personal protection
- General protective and hygienic measures: Avoid skin contact and breathing of vapors.
- Respiratory protection: Use fresh air mask when working in poor ventilated areas.
- Protection of hands: Protective gloves of butyl-rubber shall be used.
- Eye protection: Use goggles when handling Ethyl-NENA.
- Body protection: Use protective clothing to avoid spill on the skin.
Stability and reactivity
- Chemical stability: Impact, friction, electrostatic spark, open fire or other sources of ignition will lead to instability.
- Possibility of hazardous reactions: Ethyl-NENA does not polymerize.
- Incompatible materials: Strongly oxidizing compounds, acids and bases.
- Hazardous decomposition products: Nitric fumes (NOx).
Disposal considerations
Small quantities of Ethyl-NENA may be destructed by burning.
National regulations for handling explosives must be followed.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
