First-aid measures

BASF AG, Safety data sheet PARA-TERT.-BUTYLTOLUOL REIN, 28.10.2009

General advice: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If danger of loss of consciousness, place patient in recovery position and transport accordingly. Apply artificial respiration if necessary. First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety.

If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention.

On skin contact: Immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical attention.

On contact with eyes: Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist.

On ingestion: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.

Note to physician: Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.

Type: accidental spillage

effluent systems.

Accidental release measures

BASF AG, Safety data sheet PARA-TERT.-BUTYLTOLUOL REIN, 28.10.2009

Personal precautions: Breathing protection required. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Information regarding personal protective measures see, chapter 8.

Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater.

Methods for cleaning up or taking up: For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.

For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.

Handling and storage

BASF AG, Safety data sheet PARA-TERT.-BUTYLTOLUOL REIN, 28.10.2009

Handling: Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Wear suitable protective clothing and eye/face protection. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Keep container tightly sealed.

Protection against fire and explosion: Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy.

Storage:

Suitable materials for containers: carbon steel (iron), Stainless steel 1.4401, Stainless steel 1.4301 (V2), aluminium, glass.

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed and in a well-ventilated place. Protect against heat.

Exposure controls / personal protection

BASF AG, Safety data sheet PARA-TERT.-BUTYLTOLUOL REIN, 28.10.2009

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65°C, e.g. EN 14387 Type A)

Self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hand protection:

Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recmmended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness

fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar

substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in

practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eye protection:

Safety glasses with side-shields (frame googles) (e.g. EN 166)

General safety and hygiene measures:

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Stability and reactivity
