TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.		Use water spray, powder.
EXPLOSION

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID EXPOSURE OF (PREGNANT) WOMEN! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
Inhalation		Avoid inhalation of dust and mist.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety spectacles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Rest.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	EC Classification Symbol: T, N; R: 46-60-61-50/53; S: 53-45-60-61 UN Classification GHS Classification

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS CRYSTALS OR GREY-TO-WHITE POWDER.

Physical dangers

Chemical dangers
Decomposes slowly on contact with bases.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV (NOT-ESTABLISHED):.
MAK: Germ cell mutagen group: 3A; (DFG 2005).

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

Effects of short-term exposure

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Decomposes at 302-307°C Density: 0.27 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100ml at 24°C: 0.0008 Vapour pressure at 20°C: negligible Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.49	The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES

If the substance is formulated with solvents also consult the ICSCs of these materials.
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
