ACUTE HAZARDS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING | |
---|---|---|---|
FIRE & EXPLOSION | Combustible. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Above 72°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. | NO open flames. NO contact with incompatible substances. See Chemical Dangers. NO contact with hot surfaces. Above 72°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. | Use alcohol-resistant foam, powder, carbon dioxide. NO water. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water. |
PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |||

TLV: (ceiling value): 0.5 ppm as STEL. MAK: skin absorption (H); carcinogen category: 1 |
ENVIRONMENT |
---|
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. |
NOTES |
---|
Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as water. The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor, or by an authorized person, should be considered. |
