give oxygen and consult a physician. If breathing stops, give artificial
respiration and consult a physician.
After skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing immediately, wash the skin with plenty of
water and soap.
After eye contact: Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Consult a specialist for medical surveillance.
After swallowing: Wash out the mouth with clear water if the patient is conscious.
Consult with a physician.
Do not induce vomiting.


Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: I
NHALATION: low concentrations with slight nasal and throat effect.
Headache, dizziness,
confusion, coordination disorder, stubbornness, inefficiency, nausea and
vomiting
cause. At higher exposures, bronchitis, pneumonia, hepatic impairment, loss
of consciousness
and death can occur.
EYE: The vapor is slightly irritating. Fluid causes pain and transient irritation.
SKIN: slightly irritating. The skin is slightly absorbed through the skin.
INGESTION: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and loss of consciousness occur.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
In case of sickness, symptoms or allergic reactions call immediate medical
attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, extinguishing powder, foam.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Unknown.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Carbon­dioxide and carbon­monoxide.

Advice for firefighters: Wear self­contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing for firefighting.

Fire hazard class Danger of explosion

Fire and explosion hazard Extremely flammable liquid. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.Take precautionary measures against static electricity.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear protective clothing. Respiratory, eye and skin protection needed.
Remove ignition sources.

Environmental precautions: Hinder substance from entering soil, sewers or living water.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Collect the product carefully and place material into suitable, labelled
container for disposal. Ventilate the effected area and wash spill site after
material pickup is complete. Don’t evacuate in the waste water system.
Wear protective equipment.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:
Handling: Do not breathe vapour, mist associated with material.
Provide for fresh air ventilation.
Safety measures: Suitable general and local exhaust ventillation is needed.
Fire and explosion protection
measures:
Take measures against electrostatic discharges.

Conditions for safe storage, including
any incompatibilities:
Keep in well­closed storage containers, in a cool and well­ventilated
place.
