A mixture of: 2,2-dimethoxyethanal (this component is considered to be anhydrous in terms of identity, structure and composition. However, 2,2-dimethoxyethanal will exist in a hydrated form. 60% anhydrous is equivalent to 70.4% hydrate); water(Including free water and water in hydrated 2,2-dimethoxyethanal)

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

• Emergency measure - Inhalation: It does not appear that there could be a direct hazard following an inhalation but, if symptoms appear, call a doctor and show the safety data sheet.


• Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse immediately with plenty of water and get medical advice/attention.
