Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Emergency measure - Inhalation: In case of excessive inhalation remove the person to the
fresh air and keep at rest in a comfortable position. Obtain
medical advice.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately rinse eyes with plenty of water. Obtain medical
advice immediately.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash off skin with plenty of soap and water if available. If
any sign of irritation is apparent obtain medical advive.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Rinse mouth with plenty of water. Drink a glass / cup of
water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical
advice.
Fire-fighting measures
Recommended extinguishing agent: Foam, dry chemical, CO2
Product arising from burning: Depending on the oxygen supply CO2, CO nitrogen oxides, soot
and smoke.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: No special protective equipment required.
Accidental release measures
Emergency measures in case of spillage: Small spillages should be absorbed onto porous inert
material such as sand, earth or vermiculite and disposed of
in accordance with local regulations.
Large spillages should be contained by the use of sand or
other inert material, transferred to a suitable container
and recovered or disposed of in accordance with local
regulations. Any combustible material such as cloth used for
cleaning spillages should be disposed of promptly,
preferably by incineration.
Handling and storage
Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable gloves and
eye protection. Avoid sources of ignition.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventillated area at a temperature
of around 15 degrees C and away from direct sunlight.

Disposal considerations
Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: If spilled Agarbois could be recovered by careful
distillation after suitable recovery techniques have been
employed. When compounded into a fragrance recovery would be
very difficult as it would be part of a multi component
mixture.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: Washing with soap and water should neutralise any effects
from accidental skin contact.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: As Agarboisis not readily or ultimately biodegradable it
should not be flushed to the drains. However, it has been
shown that Agarbois does not inhibit sewage sludge
functions.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Agarbois should be disposed of by incineration. No special
techniques are required as no hazardous combustion products
are expected.
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: When incorporated into fragraces or final consumer products
there is little possibility of recovering this material.
Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Washing with soap and water should neutralise any effects
from unwanted skin contact.
Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Consumer products will only contain low levels of Agarbois
and should thus be suitable for disposal by land fill.
Depending on the nature of the consumer product flushing to
the drains with plenty of water should not pose any risk to
the environment.
Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Depending on the nature of the consumer product incineration
is the recommended method of disposal for Agarbios.
