Administrative data

First-aid measures

Inhalation : May cause cough, dizziness, headache, laboured breathing, nausea, vomiting. Symptoms may delayed.
Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.

Eye contact : Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.

Skin contact : May be absorbed. Redness. Skin burns. Blisters.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.

Ingestion : Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Vomiting. Shock or collapse.
(Further see inhalation)
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink.
Refer for medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media : Water in large amounts, alcohol-resistant foam, powder. No carbon dioxide.
In case of fire: Keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Combat fire from a sheltered position.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Use during all cleaning operations protective gloves and clothing, face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing
protection.

Methods for cleaning : Evacuate danger area. Remove all ignition sources. Consult an expert. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. (Extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus).

Disposal : Collect spilled material for treatment or disposal following all local,
state and federal regulations.

Handling and storage

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handle the substance under strictly controlled conditions according to Article 18(4) of REACH Regulation. Rigorous containment should be achieved.

HANDLING
Personal measures : Avoid ingestion, inhalation of vapours and skin contact.
Operator should wear a protective gloves and gas mask.

Technical measures : Ventilation. Make use of local exhaust, or breathing protection.

STORAGE
Measures : Unbreakable packaging; put breakable packaging into closed unbreakable container.
Fireproof. Separated from acids, oxidants, food and feedstuffs. Dry.
Store only if stabilized.

Exposure controls / personal protection

The substance is manufactured and used under strictly controlled conditions during its whole lifecycle as described under Article 18(4) and Section 2.1 of the Guidance for Intermediates.

Effectiveness:
The substance should be rigorously contained by technical means during its whole lifecycle and procedural and control technologies should be in place in order to minimize emissions and any resulting exposure as described under Article 18(4).

Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used in cases of accidents and where waste is generated. The PPE may be also used as a good practice.

Technical measures : Make use of local exhaust during handling.
Respiratory protection : Ventilation, local exhaust, or gas mask.
Hand protection : Protective gloves.
Eye protection : Goggles or full-face mask.
Skin protection: Polypropylene diver.

Stability and reactivity

All Ethyleneimine is stored and shipped in the presence of anhydrous sodium hydroxide and this acts both as a dehydrating agent and neutralising agent in the event the material becomes accidentally exposed to an acid atmosphere.

Disposal considerations

Dispose in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Any accidental spillage should be flushed immediately with copious amounts of water, and neutralised with acetic acid.
Collect as much of neutralised spilled material as possible for treatment or disposal following all local, state and federal regulations.
