Benzeneacetic acid, 2,4-dichloro-, 1-(ethoxycarbonyl)cyclohexyl ester

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Inhalation

Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Move to fresh air. Keep patient warm

and at rest.

Skin contact

Wash off thoroughly with plenty of soap and water, if available with polyethyleneglycol 400,

subsequently rinse with water.

Eye contact

In case of eye contact, remove contact lens and rinse immediately with plenty of water, also

under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes.

Ingestion

Do NOT induce vomiting. Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse

mouth.

Treatment

Treat symptomatically.

Gastric lavage is not normally required. However, if a significant amount (more than a

mouthful) has been ingested, administer activated charcoal and sodium sulphate.

Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing agents:

water spray,

carbon dioxide (CO2),

foam,

sand

- Special hazards caused by the material, its products of combustion or resulting gases:

In the event of fire the following can be released: hydrogen chloride (HCl), carbon monoxide (CO)

- Protective equipment:  

In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Use breathing apparatus.

- Additional information:  

Contain the spread of the fire-fighting media.

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Accidental release measures

- Person-related safety precautions:

Avoid contact with spilled product or contaminated surfaces.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Unprotected persons must be kept away.

Keep away sources of ignition.

- Measures for environmental protection:  

Do not discharge into the drains/surface water/groundwater.

- Measures for cleaning/collecting:  

Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations.

Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Handling and storage

Manufacture and use takes place under strictly controlled conditions. The substance

is rigorously contained (production, use), appropriate risk management measures are

applied and a management system is in place. An authorisation scheme covers the

process and a procedure ensures that only trained and authorised persons handle  

the substance. Process procedures for containment during cleaning and  

maintenance have been accounted for in plant and engineering design as

appropriate for the site. Procedures to ensure containment have been applied for all

stages of production and processing. Occupational procedures have been assessed

and are documented.

Advice on safe handling:

Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

Storage

Store in a place accessible by authorized persons only.

Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Advice on common storage

Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

- Hygene measures:

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Keep working clothes separately.

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Wash hands immediately after work, if necessary take a shower.

Remove soiled and/or soaked clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again.

Garments that cannot be cleaned must be destroyed (burnt).
