| TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE | ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
|
Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Above 27°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.
|
Above 27°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment.
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|
| EXPOSURE |
|
|
|
| Inhalation |
Drowsiness. Headache. Nausea. Unconsciousness.
|
Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Redness. Dry skin.
|
Protective gloves.
|
Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain.
|
Safety goggles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Abdominal pain. (See Inhalation).
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | |||||||
|
Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. (Extra personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours.)

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating, on contact with hot surfaces or flames producing toxic and corrosive fumes. Reacts violently with strong oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. Attacks rubber and some plastic. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 10 ppm as TWA; A3; BEI issued; (ACGIH 2003). MAK: 10 ppm, 47 mg/m³; Peak limitation category: II(2); Pregnancy risk group: C; (DFG 2003). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes and the skin. If this liquid is swallowed, aspiration into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system, resulting in lowering of consciousness. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The liquid defats the skin. The substance may have effects on the liver and kidneys. | ||
