First-aid measures
Product-Specific hazards and other issues :
- Severe irritant to mucous membranes and skin, can be corrosive to mucus membranes,
gastrointestinal mucosa, skin and eyes. Can cause severe eye defects .
- Systemic poisoning with effects on liver, kidneys, heart, intestines, CNS and blood are possible.
General advice :
- Always observe self protection methods.
- Move out of dangerous area.
- Remove contaminated shoes and clothing.
- Get medical attention immediately.
- Show this material safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Inhalation :
- Remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
- Do not leave the victim unattended.
- Keep patient warm and at rest.
- Immediately seek medical attention.
- If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
- If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
- In the event of unconsciousness, apnea or cardiac arrest (no Pulse) apply cardiopulmonary
resuscitation.
- Do not use mouth to mouth or mouth to nose method of resuscitation, as cross contamination or
exposure can occur to the rescuer
Skin contact :
- Immediately flush affected area with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoe.
- Get medical attention immediately.
Eye contact :
- Immediately flush eyes with water thoroughly and continuously for 15 minutes.
- Immediately get medical attention and provide for further treatment by an ophthalmologist due to
possible caustic burn of the eyes. Do not stop rinsing the eyes while taking patient to hospital.
Ingestion :
- Get medical attention immediately.
- Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
- Do NOT induce vomiting.
- Do not give milk or alcoholic beverages.
- Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
- If vomiting does occur, have victim lean forward to reduce risk of aspiration.
- Do not leave the victim unattended.
- Keep patient warm and at rest.
- If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice.
- In the event of unconsciousness, apnea or cardiac arrest (no Pulse) apply cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. Do not use mouth to mouth or mouth to nose method of resuscitation, as cross
contamination or exposure can occur to the rescuer.
Advice to Physician
- Treat symptomatically. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of
symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient.
- Can cause burns to mucus membranes, gastrointestinal mucosa, skin and eyes.
- Ocular exposures may result in corneal ulcers and temporary vision loss. Eye irritation may be
accompanied by complaints of photophobia and pain in the eyeball; pain may not begin until 6 hr
after exposure.
- Dermal exposure produces very little direct skin irritation or burn but produces delayed onset
localized aching and vesiculation..
- If inhalation occurs signs and symptoms may include coughing, choking, wheezing, difficulty in
breathing, chest congestion, shortness of breath and/or fever. The onset of respiratory
symptoms may be delayed. Can cause pulmonary edema.
- In case of ingestion the stomach should be emptied by gastric lavage under qualified medical
supervision
- Vapors (inhalation), skin absorption and ingestion can easily and quickly cause systemic
effects. Systemic poisoning with cardiovascular insufficiency, gastrointestinal symptoms, shock,
coma, seizures, disturbance of liver and kidney function is possible.
- Therefore the patient always should be hospitalized.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media :
- SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemicals, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam
- LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, water fog or alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media :
- Do not use solid water stream.
Specific hazards during fire fighting :
- On exposure to high temperature, may decompose, releasing toxic/flammable vapors.
- Fine sprays/mists may be combustible at temperatures below normal flash point.
- When mixed with air and exposed to ignition source, vapors can burn in open or explode if
confined.
- Vapors may be heavier than air.
- May travel long distances along the ground before igniting and flashing back to vapor source.
- Poisonous gas(es) may be generated without warning on release from confinement/high
temperature decomposition or rupture of closed containers/water contact, all of which will greatly
increase hazards of firefighting.
- Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire control water for later
disposal; do not scatter material.
- Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.
- Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
- Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of
tank.
- Always stay away from tanks engulfed in fire.
- For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw
from area and let fire burn.
Further information :
- Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
- Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into
drains.
- Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters :
- Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
- Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions :
- Use personal protective equipment
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental precautions :
- Very toxic to aquatic organisms.
- An environmental hazard cannot be excluded in the event of unprofessional handling or
disposal.
Methods for cleaning up :
- Eliminate all sources of ignition.
- All equipment used when handling this product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk
through spilled material.
- Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
- Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapors.
- Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to
containers.
- Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
- Dike large spills and place materials in salvage containers.
- Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. .
Handling and storage
Handling:
- Handling of allyl alcohol should be done under nitrogen at all times
Advice on safe handling :
- Avoid contact when handling this substance.
- Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
- Do not leave container open.
- Label containers clearly.
- Handle empty containers with care; vapors/residue may be flammable.
- Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
- Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.
- All hazard precautions also apply to empty containers.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion :
- Keep away from heat/sparks/ open flames/ hot surfaces .
- Not smoking
- Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Storage:
Requirements for storage areas and containers :
- Store only in tightly closed, properly vented containers away from heat, sparks, open flame and
strong oxidizing agents.
- Vapor space above stored liquid may be flammable/explosive unless blanketed with inert gas.
- Keep in properly labeled container
- Open and handle container with care.
Advice on common storage:
- Stainless steel tank.
Further information on storage conditions :
- Outside storage tanks should be diked to contain potential spills.
