| 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. Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable.
|
NO open flames.
|
Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
|
|
|
| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Sore throat. Dizziness. Headache. Weakness. Muscle pain. Loss of movement co-ordination. Fever or elevated body temperature.
|
Local exhaust or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
Redness. Pain.
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain.
|
Safety spectacles, 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 |
Nausea. Vomiting. Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. (Further see Inhalation).
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING | |||||||
|
Sweep spilled substance into covered containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. (Extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles.)
|
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. EU Classification Symbol: Xn, N R: 22-50/53 S: (2-)-60-61 UN Classification | |||||||
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE | |||||||
|
|
Separated from food and feedstuffs, strong oxidants, bases and strong acids.

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS OR PALE YELLOW CRYSTALS. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes. Reacts with strong acids, bases and strong oxidants, causing fire hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is irritating to the eyes and the skin. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system, resulting in impaired functions. | ||
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |||
|
Melting point: 37°C Density: 1.28 g/cm^3 Solubility in water: very poor Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: negligible |
Flash point: see Notes Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 4.74 | ||
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in fish. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.
| |||
| NOTES | |||
|
The substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature. Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
