First-aid measures

Eye contact:
Immediately wash eyes with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses after the initial 1-2 minutes and continue flushingfor several additional minutes. Occasionally lift the upper and lower eyelids. Seek medical advice if irritation develops and persists.
Skin contact:
Wash affected skin area with plenty of water and soap for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical advice if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion:
Seek medical advice if the victim feels unwell. Wash out mouth with plenty of water and give 2-4 cupfuls of water or milk to drink. Never give anythingby mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting.
Inhalation:
Remove the victim from exposure into fresh air if adverse effects (e.g. dizziness, drowsiness or respiratory irritation) occur. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical advice if cough or other symptoms appear.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:
Water fog or fine spray, dry chemical fire, carbon dioxide extinguishers and foam; alcohol resistant foam (ACT type) are preferred; general purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Direct water stream
Exposure hazards (combustion products):
During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/ or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel a long distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Ignition and/or flash back may occur. Flammable mixtures may exist within the vapour space of containers at room temperature. Flammable concentrations of vapour can accumulate at temperatures above flash point.
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe distance.
Special methods/instructions:
Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Stay up wind. Keep out of low areas where gases (fumes) can accumulate. Water may not be effective in extinguishing fire. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Eliminate ignition sources. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8) during cleaning. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation. No smoking in the area. Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spill or released vapour to avoid fire or explosion. Check area with combustible gas detector before re-entering area.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent the material from entering surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not discharge directly to a water source. If accidental spillage or washings enter drains or watercourses contact local Environment Agency.
Methods for cleaning up:
Pick up with absorbent material. Sweep up absorbed substance, place in suitable and properly labelled waste containers for later disposal. Residual trace can be wiped away. Prevent entry into sewers and waterways. For large spills: Contain spilled material if possible. Ground and bond all containers and handling equipment. Pump with explosion-proof equipment. If available, use foam to smother or suppress.

Handling and storage

Personal precautions:
Wear personal protective equipment (see section 8). Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid breathing vapour. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and storage area.
Technical measures/ Precautions:
Provide good ventilation (local exhaust) of the working area, safety showers and eye wash station near the workplace. Avoid release to the environment. Ground/Bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep product away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition. Avoid exposure the sunlight, UV light or fluorescent light.
Technical measures/ Storage conditions:
Flammable mixtures may exist within the vapour space of containers at room temperature. Keep in the original container. Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep product away from heat, sparks, flame and other sources of ignition and out of direct sunlight and away from incompatible materials.
Incompatible products: Strong oxidizing agents, bases and aqueous acids.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls:
Technical measures:
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Organisational measures:
Organize regular exposure monitoring to check that exposure levels of operators stay beyond the Exposure Limit. Sampling and analysis should be carried out according to accepted methods.
Personal protection:
Respiratory protection:
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge, type A (boiling point >65 ºC) Recommended: NIOSH-approved respirator with minimum APF 10.
Hand protection:
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard EN374 should be worn at all times when handling chemical products.
