Inhalation
Bring affected person outside and ensure that he/she is comfortable. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Skin contact
After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.
Eye contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if this can be easily done. Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.
Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician immediately.

Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Do not breathe vapors. All precautionary measures indicated have to be observed. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. In case of fire cool endangered containers with water. Explosive mixtures may occur at temperatures at or above the flashpoint. Use only explosion-proof equipment. Wear personal protective equipment; see section 8. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep container tightly closed. Ensure there is good room ventilation.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Observe prohibition against storing together! Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 30 °C.Protect from the action of light. Fill the container by approximately 90 % only as oxygen (air) is required for stabilisation. With large storage containers make sure the oxygen (air) supply is sufficient to ensure stability.Can polymerize with intense heat release.
7.3. Specific end use(s)
We are unaware of any specific end uses which go beyond the data reported in Section 1.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles
Hand Protection:
Material: butyl rubber gloves (minimal thickness 0.7 mm)
Break-through time: 60 min
Guideline: EN 374
Additional Information: Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces., Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough., The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves., Be aware that in daily use the durability of a chemical resistant protective glove can be notably shorter than the break through time measured according to EN 374, due to the numerous outside influences (e.g. temperature)., The information is based on our own tests, on data from literature and information from protective glove producers or is based on data obtained from similar substances.
Skin and Body Protection:
Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place. On handling of larger quantities: face mask, chemical-resistant boots and apron
Respiratory Protection:
Breathing apparatus in case of high concentrations short term: filter appliance, filter A
Hygiene measures:
Private clothes and working clothes should be kept separately. Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Follow the usual good standards of occupational hygiene. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. No eating, drinking, smoking, or snuffing tobacco at work. Cleanse and apply cream to skin after work.

Disposal considerations
13.1. Waste treatment methods
General information:
Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local authority requirements.
Disposal methods:
Waste is hazardous. It must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations after consultation of the competent local authorities and the disposal company in a suitable and licensed facility. Strictly controlled conditions during disposal or treatment to air, wastewater and waste. Do not add wastewater to a biological wastewater treatment plant Bring wastewater containing AOX for professional disposal. The waste key number must be determined as per the European Waste Types List (decision on EU Waste Types List 2000/532/EC) in cooperation with the disposal firm / producing firm / official authority.
Contaminated Packaging:
Contaminated packaging should ideally be emptied; it can then be recycled after having been decontaminated. Uncontaminated packaging may be taken for recycling. Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of professionally.
