First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Call a physician immediately.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the
eyelids. Call a physician immediately.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Call a
physician immediately.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
Call a physician immediately.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, dry powder, foam and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in
a fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and nitrogen
oxides and hydrogen cyanide).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus must be worn.


Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.


Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to
the relevant national or international standards, as
mentioned in section 2.3.10.


Absorb spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material
(eg. sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to
waste containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.
Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in
the same way as the original substance containers.


Clean the spillage area with water.


Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations. Avoid release to watercourses or drains.

Handling and storage

Handling: Advice on safe handling:

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe
vapours or spray mist. Handle product only in closed system
or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery.
Wear personal protective equipment.


Environmental precautions:

Should not be released into the environment or drains. Do
not allow materials to contaminate ground water system. If
the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.



Methods for cleaning up:

Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable,
closed containers for disposal. After cleaning, flush away
traces with water.


Additional advice:

Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

Storage: Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed
in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store in a cool and
shaded area. Store in a place accessible by authorised
persons only.


Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep
away from tobacco products.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: 200 litre steel drum.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Traces of hydrogen cyanide may be found in fire conditions.


Avoid contact with strong oxidising agents, strong acids and
strong bases, reducing agents.

Chemical reaction with water: None known.

Dust explosion: Not applicable as the substance is a liquid.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not
economically or technically feasible, and such waste
material will be disposed of by incineration. In principle,
it may be possible to recover larger spillages of
uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is a
severe eye irritant, a potential skin sensitiser and harmful
by prolonged oral exposure. No chemical treatment is
practicable to neutralise the hazardous health properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not recommended.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases
should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and
nitrogen oxides and hydrogen cyanide) could be formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance will not normally be discharged directly to
the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None known.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: None known.
