TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. | |
| EXPLOSION | |||
| EXPOSURE | STRICT HYGIENE! PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! | ||
| Inhalation | Dizziness. Drowsiness. Headache. Nausea. Weakness. Unconciousness. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Dry skin. Redness. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. | Wear safety goggles or face shield. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Further see Inhalation. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Rest. |

The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. |
| NOTES |
|
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits. |
