2',4' -DIMETHYLACETOACETANILIDE	ICSC: 1298 (June 2006)
Butanamide, N-(2,4,-dimethylphenyl)-3-oxo 1-Acetoacetylamino-2,4-dimethylbenzene N-Acetoacetyl-2,4-xilidide

CAS #: 97-36-9

EC Number: 202-576-0

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation		Use ventilation (not if powder).	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles.	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.	Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification
STORAGE
