0020-0106 SECTION 4: First aid measures (see also in chapter 16: Other information) Description of first aid measures General information Remove contaminated soaked clothing immediately. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice. After inhalation Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapours. In the event of symptoms refer for medical treatment. After contact with skin Consult a doctor if skin irritation persists. After contact with eyes Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist. After ingestion Rinse out mouth and give plenty of water to drink. Seek medical treatment immediately. If swallowed or in the event of vomiting, risk of entering the lungs. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Inhalation of vapours in high concentration can cause narcotic effects. May cause irritation of the mucous membranes. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treat symptoms. SECTION 5: Firefighting measures Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (CO2), water-spray. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons Full water jet. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Fire may produce: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Risk of formation of toxic pyrolysis products. Advice for firefighters Use breathing apparatus with independent air supply. Protective suit. Additional information Vapours are heavier than air and spread along ground. The vapour/air mixture is explosive, even in empty, uncleaned receptacles. Cool containers at risk with water spray jet. Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures In case of vapour formation use respirator. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective clothing. Keep away sources of ignition. Environmental precautions Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater. GB - EN Page 2 of 7
0020-0106 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder). Shovel into suitable container for disposal. Reference to other sections Observe protective instructions (see Sections 7 and 8). Information for disposal look up chapter 1. SECTION 7: Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Advice on safe handling Use only in well-ventilated areas. Use solvent-resistant equipment. Avoid spilling or spraying in enclosed areas. Advice on protection against fire and explosion Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures against electrostatically charging. Vapours are heavier than air and spread along ground. Vapour/air mixture is explosive, even in empty uncleaned receptacles. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Requirements for storage rooms and vessels Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Protect containers from heat / overheating. Keep only in original container. Advice on storage compatibility Incompatible with oxidizing agents. Further information on storage conditions Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
