2-isopropyl-5-methylhexanal

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

- General advice:

Seek medical advice in case of symptoms caused by eye or skin contact, inhalation or swallowing. Remove contaminated or saturated clothing immediately and dispose of safely.

- Following inhalation:

Bring affected person outside and ensure that he/she is comfortable.

- Following skin contact:

Wash off with plenty of water and soap immediately.

- Following eye contact:

Open the eyes and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.

- Following ingestion:

Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.

- Most important symptoms and effects: Potential damage resulting from ingestion: Central nervous system effects.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder.

- Unsuitable extinguishing media:

high volume water jet

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Conflagration gases from organic substances are always to be considered respiratory toxins.

- Advice for fire fighter:

-- Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the case of fire, wear respiratory protective equipment in-dependent of surrounding air and chemical protective suit.

-- Further information: Flash back possible over considerable distance. Absorb decomposition gases with jet of water. Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers. Closed containers may rupture or explode (due to                     pressure build-up) when exposed to extreme heat.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions:

Wear personal protective equipment; see "Exposure controls / personal protection. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not inhale vapour, aerosols,                     mist. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.

- Environmental precautions:

Product or extinguishing water with product must not be al-lowed to enter soil, sewers or natural bodies of water.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

-- Advice on safe handling: Caution - substance not yet tested completely. Observe the rules usually applicable when handling chemicals. Provide sufficient ventilation and exhaust at the workplace.

-- Advice on protection against fire and explosion: When heated above flashpoint and/or with spraying or atomi-zation, a flammable mixture may form with air. Take precau-tionary measures against static charges, keep away                     from sources of ignition.

-- Hygiene measures: Do not inhale vapours / aerosols. Contact with skin, eyes and clothes must be strictly avoided Take off clothing and shoes contaminated with product. Clean before reuse. Do not eat, drink or smoke while              working. Wash hands, and/or face before breaks and when workday is finished. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

- Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

-- Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid heat effect and sources of ignition.

-- Storage class (TRGS 510): 3, Flammable liquids
