Pent-4-enoyl chloride

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

General advice:

Pay attention to self-protection.

Remove victims from hazardous area. Immediately remove soiled or soaked clothing and remove it to a safe distance.

Keep victim warm, in a stabilized position and covered.

Do not leave victims unattended.

If the casualty is unconscious: Place the victim in the recovery position.

Inhalation:

Inhalation is possible if aerosols, mists, dusts, or smoke form.

Move victims into fresh air.

With labored breathing: Provide with oxygen. Consult a doctor.

If the casualty is not breathing: Perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, notify emergency physician immediately.

Skin contact:

Wash off affected area immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

With liposoluble substances, products, or preparations, continue decontamination with polyethylene glycol 400 after initial rinsing with water and then wash with water and soap.

If symptoms persist, consult a physician for treatment.

Eye contact:

With eye held open, thoroughly rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes.

Consult an ophthalmologist immediately if the symptoms persist.

When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately (key words: burns in eye).

Ingestion:

Rinse out mouth.

Immediately give large quantities of water to drink.

Consult a physician immediately.

When dealing with caustic substances, notify emergency physician immediately.

Notes to physician:

In case of substances with high water solubility, inhalation of vapors, aerosols, mists, and smoke from caustic substances, products, and preparations, as well as caustic gases, results in irritations up to formation of necrosis in the upper respiratory tract.

The initial focus is on the local action: signs of irritation of the respiratory tract such as coughing, burning behind the sternum, tears, burning in the eyes or nose.

There is a fundamental risk of acute toxic pulmonary edema!

In case of substances with low water solubility, only slight local irritations may appear at first, but after several hours of latency without symptoms, may develop into increasingly labored breathing and cyanosis as a result of a delayed pulmonary edema.

There is a danger of underestimating the severity of the intoxication!

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder, alcohol-resistant foam.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:

High volume water jet

Specific hazards during fire fighting:

In case of fire cool endangered containers with water.

In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced:

- Carbon oxides

- Hydrogen chloride

- Hydrocarbons

- Chlorine containing substances

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus.

Further information:

Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil, or stretches of water.

Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.

Contaminated fire-extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Wear personal protective equipment.

Keep unauthorized persons away.

Be careful when opening the package, since harmful and caustic gases and vapours may escape

Environmental precautions:

Prevent substance from entering soil, natural bodies of water and sewer systems.

Methods for cleaning up:

Take up mechanically or with a non-combustible absorbent material.

Handling and storage

Handling:

Safe handling advice

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Do not inhale vapours / aerosols.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Be careful when opening the package, since harmful and caustic gases and vapours may escape.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

In use, may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixture.

Storage:

Requirements for storage areas and containers:

Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions.

Further information:

In the event of internal transportation, already-opened containers are to be kept closed in order to avoid spillage.

Secure container from falling down.
