Administrative data

First-aid measures

Inhalation                Remove from danger zone. Obtain immediate medical assistance.

Skin Contact           Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse contaminated skin immediately with plenty of water and soap and seek medical advice.

Eye Contact            Immediately rinse eyes thoroughly with running water as long as possible (approx. 15 min).

                                Take injured quickly to factory medical center or call an ambulance (code word: eye accident).

Ingestion                 Do not induce vomiting. In case of consciousness wash mouth with water and let drink some of water. Seek medical advice. Keep p                                   atient at rest.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media                         Alcohol resistent foam Dry sand carbon dioxide (CO2)

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media                    Water Fire-extinguishing powder N.A.

Protective equipment for firefighters           Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and fire protective suite.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions             Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid breathing hazardous vapors/dusts. Wear personal protective equipm                                                          ent. Keep away unprotected persons.

Environmental precautions   Suppress gases/vapours/mists with water spray jet. Do not release on the soil or into drains.

Methods for cleaning             Wash away remains with plenty of water. Transfer large quantities into a container, rinse the rest with plenty of water.

Accidental Release                  Remove all sources of ignition.

For personal protection see SDS chapter 8; for disposal considerations see SDS chapter 13

Handling and storage

Storage and Handling Precautions                  Open handling without suitable personal protective equipment must be avoided. Keep container tightly closed in a                                                                               dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

For industrial hygiene measures see SDS chapter 8

Conditions of storage                                       Protect against heat

Do not store together with                               Incompatible substances.

Technical measures/ Precautions                   Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery.

Preventive Precautions (fire/explosion)         Observe the usual precautionary measures required for mixtures containing organic solvents. Keep away from op                                                                                en flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
