1,1-cyclohexanediacetic acid monoamide

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Ingestion : if swallowed wash mouth with water provided person if conscious. Get medical advice if adverse symptoms will appear.

Contact with skin : remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and large amount of water until no evidence of substance remains. Get medical advice if adverse symptoms will appear.

      

Inhalation : avoid breathing dusts that might be generated by handling of the product. Remove the person from the exposed area to fresh air immediately. Get medical advice if adverse symptoms will appear.

Contact with eyes : wash immediately with large amounts of water or normal saline. Keep eyelid open with the finger. Get medical advice if adverse symptoms will appear.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing means: regular foam, CO2, dry powder, water spray.

Mean of extinguishing NOT to be used: not known.

Known hazards caused by combustion: thermal decomposition or combustion may generate toxic and hazardous fumes (e.g. COx, NOx).

Equipment for self-protection (fire fighters) : self-contained breathing apparatus, flame and chemical resistant clothing, boots and gloves.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: suitable protective clothing, gloves and shoes, eye/face protection goggles, mask complete of suitable filter protection.

Environmental precautions: do not let the product enter drainage system, surface and ground-water and soil. Contact local authorities in case of environmental release.

Cleaning procedure to recover spilled material: collect and clean with plenty of water. Send to the storage waiting for disposal procedures.

Handling and storage

1.Description of process steps

The product is produced by chemical synthesis performed under controlled pressure and temperature conditions starting from raw material and adding solvents and reactive agents.

Process conditions are according to quality standards applicable.

Chemical transformation is performed following working instruction by trained operators equipped with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in controlled conditions.

Loading of raw material is done in a dedicated room by trained workers equipped with PPE including close disposable suit, air mask and gloves in controlled conditions.

All process is done in closed system. No sampling in process procedures are needed. Downloading is done in big bags following working instructions by trained operators equipped with PPE in controlled conditions.

The material is used as intermediate for further production of another intermediate by means of a chemical transformation under controlled conditions of temperature and pressure.

Process conditions are according to quality standards applicable.

Loading of 1,1-cyclohexanediacetic acid monoamide is performed following working instruction by trained operators equipped with PPE in controlled conditions.

The process is done in closed system and 1,1-cyclohexanediacetic acid monoamide is chemically transformed in another intermediate. No sampling in process procedures are needed.

2.Description of technical measures to control/minimize environmental emissions

Air emission treatment system are available.

Waste water and liquid waste treatment are transferred in closed system to tanks and shipped to external authorized waste water treatment plant. Disposal is done in accordance with national and local laws.

Solid waste (packaging) are stored in close containers and sent to external authorized disposal facilities, in accordance with law. Personnel in charge of waste handling has been trained and equipped with PPE.

3.Storage: conditions

The material is packed in Big Bags and stored in a dedicated and closed warehouse, access is limited to authorised personnel.

Sampling is done in a dedicated sampling room with ventilation and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.

4.Cleaning operations of plant equipments and contaminated materials

Methodology of cleaning is defined in specific working instruction and performed only by trained personnel, equipped with Personal Protective Equipment.

5.Waste treatment and disposal

Liquid waste and solvents are sent by close pipes into tanks. They are internally recovered in close tanks and shipped to authorized external disposal companies. Solid waste (packaging) are stored in containers and sent to external authorized disposal facilities.

Waste handling and storage is performed in order to avoid any possible impact to environment, in compliance with local regulation.

6.Emergency procedures in case of spill and related workers protections

Emergency procedures are detailed in Emergency Plan. Workers are trained on emergency procedures periodically. Spill collection is done by operators protected by personal protective equipment as close PVC suit, gas/solid mask and gloves.

7.Risk Management procedures (ex. D.81)

Comprehensive Risk Management System is in place, regulated by internal Standard Operating Procedures composed by following elements.

Risk analysis are performed. Workers safety and environment training program is planned yearly. Standard Operating Procedures on Safety, Health and Ecology are available on site in compliance with local regulation. Audit and inspections program is part of activity. Industrial Hygiene Monitoring and Noise Monitoring program is performed according to local rules and results are in compliance with defined limits.
