First-aid measures

General information
Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.

Description of first aid measures
Inhalation
Move to fresh air. For breathing difficulties, oxygen may be necessary. Induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim inhaled the substance. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin contact
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash off with warm water and soap. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.

Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Continue rinsing.

Ingestion
IF SWALLOWED: Immediately call a POISON CENTRE or doctor/physician. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or is having convulsions. If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do not induce vomiting without advice from poison control center. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Inhalation of vapours or mists of the product may be irritating to the respiratory system.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Symptoms may be delayed.


Fire-fighting measures

General fire hazards
Material can accumulate static charges from material handling management. Bond and ground as appropriate while recognizing that bonding and grounding alone may be insufficient to eliminate the potential hazard from static-accumulating flammable liquids. For additional recommendations, consult an applicable guideline such as National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 77, "Recommended Practices on Static Electricity" and API RP “Recommended Practice 2003, Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents” (2008). NOTE: The Lower Explosive Limit [LEL] for organic liquids can range from as low as 0.5 - 1%.

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Unsuitable extinguishing media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.

Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Structural firefighters protective clothing will only provide limited protection.

Special fire fighting procedures
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in flame. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discolouration of tanks due to fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves,
rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Vapors may be heavier than air and may travel along the ground to some distant source of ignition and flash back.

Specific methods
In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray mists. Keep out of low areas. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Follow facility/company's emergency plans.

For emergency responders
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Keep upwind. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray mists. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate closed spaces before
entering them.

Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Eliminate sources of ignition. Ventilate the contaminated area. Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers). Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Eliminate ignition sources including sources of electrical, static or frictional sparks. Ventilate the contaminated area. Extinguish all flames in the vicinity. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
Large Spills: Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual
contamination.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. This material is classified as a water pollutant under the Clean Water Act and should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage
systems which lead to waterways.
Never return spills in original containers for re-use.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use good personal hygiene practices Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Do not get this material in contact with eyes. Do not get this material in contact with skin. Do not get this material on clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not use in areas without adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wash thoroughly after handling. "Empty" containers retain
product residue (liquid or vapour) and can be dangerous. Do not re-use empty containers. Organics can obtain an electrostatic charge during processing activities including: storage, mixing, filtering, or pumping which may represent a spark hazard and, therefore, a fire hazard. Also, a sudden release of such materials from storage or process equipment particularly at elevated temperatures, and/or pressures, can result in ignitions from static absent any apparent ignition source. Flashpoint and autoignition values obtained from standard test conditions may not be applicable to other situations and, thus, the safe use of this material in any process should be reviewed by one familiar with both the storage, processing conditions and this material. Note: materials that are static accumulators may have such high potential differences created that such a situation may result in a discharge as sparks capable of causing ignition of organic vapors. Such discharges can occur from insulated conductors (plant items, drums), bulk liquids, mists and insulating plastic materials.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Use care in handling/storage. The pressure in sealed containers can increase under the influence of heat. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. This material can accumulate static charge which may cause spark and become an ignition source. Prevent electrostatic charge build-up by
using common bonding and grounding techniques. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove, and prevent buildup of, any vapors, dusts, or fumes that may be generated during handling or thermal processing. In order to ensure appropriate electrical safety practices are followed, consult applicable standards. These may include guidelines such as the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 70, "The National Electrical Code" and NFPA 499, "Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas ". NOTE: since this material's vapors, dust or fumes can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure that any potential areas where explosions may occur are designed to minimize potential damage. For recommendations to prevent such explosions and associated damage, consult applicable guidelines such as NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/or NFPA 68, "Guide for Venting Deflagrations".
