| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE | ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO open flames.
|
Water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
|
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|
| EXPOSURE |
|
STRICT HYGIENE!
|
IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
|
| Inhalation |
Confusion. Convulsions. Dizziness. Headache. Laboured breathing. Nausea. Vomiting. See Notes.
|
Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. See Notes.
|
| Skin |
MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain.
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: ODOURLESS OILY COLOURLESS LIQUID. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing highly toxic hydrogen cyanide (see ICSC 0492). Reacts violently with strong oxidants. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 2 ppm as TWA; (skin); (ACGIH 2004). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes and the skin. Exposure could cause convulsions. Exposure may result in unconsciousness. Exposure may result in death. Medical observation is indicated. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the blood and adrenals, resulting in anaemia and tissue lesions. | ||
