Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Description of first aid measures
General advice
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. Oxygen, if needed.
Skin contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water.
Eye contact
Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth. Hold person's head low, to prevent aspiration (inhalation into the windpipe) If conscious, give the victim plenty of water to drink. Call a physician immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Lungs
Cough
Eyes
Inflammation
Skin
May cause sensitisation by skin contact.
Oral
Symptoms of overexposure may be headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
This ester can cause moderately serious poisoning effects.
Elimination is therefore the main aim of treatment.
Due to its non-corrosive nature, elimination can be achieved through immediate vomiting or irrigation
of the stomach if the chemical is ingested. It is helpful to give the person powdered carbon afterwards.
Take preventive measures against aspiration (intubation if necessary).
Irritated areas of skin can be treated with corticosteroids.
Treat symptomatically.
Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions.
Sulphur oxides
Carbon monoxide
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters
Use personal protective equipment.
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Additional advice
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Use personal protective equipment.
Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes.
For personal protection see section 8.
Exposure controls
Environmental precautions
Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up.
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal considerations".
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling: Limiting of employee, who are or who could exposed to this
dangerous substance
Limiting the mass of this dangerous substance at the place of work on a required quantity
Periodical check, minimum three years, of effectivity an function of technical safty precautions.
