consult an eye specialist.
On ingestion:
Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.


Fire-fighting measures

BASF AG, Safety data sheet P-CRESOL- METHYL ETHER, 06.01.2010
Suitable extinguishing media:
dry extinguishing media, carbon dioxide, foam
Special protective equipment:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

Accidental release measures

BASF AG, Safety data sheet P-CRESOL- METHYL ETHER, 06.01.2010
Personal precautions:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental precautions:
Do not empty into drains.
Methods for cleaning up or taking up:
For large amounts: Pump off product.
For residues: Pick up with suitable absorbent material. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance
with regulations.

Handling and storage

BASF AG, Safety data sheet P-CRESOL- METHYL ETHER, 06.01.2010
Handling
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.
Protection against fire and explosion:
Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should
be kept handy.
Storage

Exposure controls / personal protection

BASF AG, Safety data sheet P-CRESOL- METHYL ETHER, 06.01.2010
Components with workplace control parameters
none
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic
compounds (boiling point >65 °C, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
Suitable materials short-term contact and/or splashes (recommended: At least protective index 2,
corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374)
butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness
nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice
may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
General safety and hygiene measures:
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Stability and reactivity

BASF AG, Safety data sheet P-CRESOL- METHYL ETHER, 06.01.2010
Thermal decomposition: > 160 °C
Hazardous reactions:
No hazardous reactions if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.
Hazardous decomposition products:
No hazardous decomposition products if stored and handled as prescribed/indicated.

Disposal considerations

BASF AG, Safety data sheet P-CRESOL- METHYL ETHER, 06.01.2010
Observe national and local legal requirements.
