TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Combustible under specific conditions. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. See Notes. | In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media. | |
| EXPLOSION | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. | ||
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS! | ||
| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. Headache. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Nausea. Incoordination. Unconciousness. | Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Dry skin. Redness. | Protective gloves. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. | Wear 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 refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Nausea. Vomiting. Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea. Further see Inhalation. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. | Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer for medical attention . |

The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. |
| NOTES |
|
Combustible vapour/air mixtures difficult to ignite, may be developed under certain conditions. The substance burns only in excess oxygen or if a strong source of ignition is present. Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding. Use of alcoholic beverages enhances the harmful effect. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. Card has been partially updated in February 2009: see Chemical Dangers. |
