First-aid measures

Relating to solution of the substance in DMAC.

- Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm and at rest. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

- Skin contact

Wash off thoroughly with plenty of soap and water, if available with polyethyleneglycol 400, subsequently rinse with water. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

- Eye contact

Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

- Ingestion

Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately.

- Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

In case of ingestion gastric lavage should be considered in cases of significant ingestions only within the first 2 hours. However, the application of activated charcoal and sodium sulphate is always advisable.

Fire-fighting measures

Relating to solution of the substance in DMAC.


 


- Suitable extinguishing media


Water spray, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, Sand


 


- Specific hazards during fire fighting


In the event of fire the following may be released: Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid), Carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx)


 


- Advice for firefighters:


Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.


Further information: Contain the spread of the fire-fighting media. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses

Accidental release measures

Relating to solution of the substance in DMAC.


 


- Personal precautions


Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces. Use personal protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition.


 


- Environmental precautions


Do not allow to get into surface water, drains and ground water.


 


- Methods for cleaning up


Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Relating to solution of the substance in DMAC.


 


This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with  REACH regulation Article 17(3) for on-site isolated intermediates and, in case the substance is transported to other sites for further processing, the substance should be handled at these sites under the Strictly Controlled Conditions as specified in REACH regulation Article 18(4).  Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each manufacturing site.


 


- Advice on safe handling


Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Advice on protection against fire and explosion. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.


Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.


 


Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep working clothes separately. Wash hands immediately after work, if necessary take a shower. Remove soiled clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again. Garments that cannot be cleaned must be destroyed (burnt).


 


- Storage


Requirements for storage areas and containers:

Respiratory protection:


If product is handled while not enclosed, and if contact may occur:
Wear respirator with an organic vapours and gas filter mask (protection factor 10) conforming to EN140 type A or equivalent.
Respiratory protection should only be used to control residual risk of short duration activities, when all reasonably practicable steps have been taken to reduce exposure at source e.g. containment and/or local extract ventilation. Always follow respirator manufacturer's instructions regarding wearing and maintenance.


 


Hand protection:


Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the contact time.
