Administrative data

First-aid measures

Inhalation

- Remove to fresh air.

- Oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary

- If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Eye contact

- Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the eyelids

- If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.

Skin contact

- Wash off with soap and water.

- If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

- Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable extinguishing media

- None.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical

- The product is not flammable.

- Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions.

- Gas/vapours combustion possible in presence of air in very particular conditions (see section 9 and/or consult the producer).

Special protective actions for fire-fighters

- Fire fighters must wear fire resistant personnel protective equipment.

- Wear chemically resistant over suits.

- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

- Protect intervention team with a water spray as they approach the fire.

- Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

- Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Advice for non-emergency personnel

- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

- Keep away from Incompatible products.

Advice for emergency responders

- Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas.

- Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.

- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

- The product evaporates readily.

- Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing.

- Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

- Avoid spraying the leak source.

- Cover the spreading liquid with foam in order to slow down the evaporation.

- Avoid skin contact with leaking liquid (danger of frostbite).

- Ventilate the area.

Environmental precautions

- Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

- Inform the responsible authorities in case of gas leakage, or of entry into waterways, soil or drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

- Dam up.

- Soak up with inert absorbent material.

- Prevent product from entering drains.

- Keep in properly labelled containers.

- Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Reference to other sections

- Refer to protective measures listed in section Exposure controls/personal protection

Handling and storage

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.

Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions has been received from every affected Distributor and Downstream Processor/User of the Registrant’s intermediate.

Precautions for safe handling

- Used in closed system

- Use only in well-ventilated areas.

- Use only equipment and materials which are compatible with the product.

- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Prevent any product decomposition from contacting hot spots.

- Do not use sparking tools.

- Keep away from Incompatible products.

- Preferably transfer by pump or gravity.

- To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.

Conditions for storage, including incompatibilities

Storage

- Store in original container.

- Keep container closed.

- Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.

- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Keep away from Incompatible products.

- Keep in a bunded area.
