Remove affected person from danger area, lay him down. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. Keep warm, calm and covered up.

If inhaled:                       Remove the casualty into fresh air and keep him calm. Check for symptoms of cyanosis.

In case of skin contact:  In case of contact with skin wash off immediately with polyethylene glycol 400, then with plenty of water

In case of eye contact:   Rinse the affected eye with plenty of water, at the same time keep the unaffected eye well protected.

If swallowed:                       When swallowed seek medical aid immediately and show the physician the packaging or the label of the packaging.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Symptoms:       Headache, Disorientation, Nausea Cyanosis (change of colour of lips  and finger nails to blue gray).

Methaemoglobinaemia Hazards:  Risk of deterioration due to consumption of alcohol.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Monitor blood circulation. Keep under medical supervision for at least 48 hours. If necessary, give oxygen. In the event of cyanosis give vitamin C, oxygen, keep out of sun.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:                alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, water spray jet

Unsuitable extinguishing media:     Full water jet

Specific hazards during firefighting:  In case of fires, hazardous combustion gases are formed: Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrous gases (NOx),

                                                                 Hydrogen chloride (HCl), Hydrogen fluoride (HF)

Special protective equipment for firefighters:       Do not inhale explosion and/or combustion gases. Use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information:       Fire residues and contaminated firefighting water must be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:       Wear personal protective equipment.  Unprotected persons must be kept away. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

                                                     Remove persons to safety.

Environmental precautions:       Do not allow entry to drains,water courses or soil. Contain contaminated water/firefighting water.

                                                     Prevent spread over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers).

Methods for cleaning up:       Pick up with liquid binding materials and if necessary fill in containers capable of being locked.

                                                    Clean contaminated floors and objects thoroughly, observing environmental regulations.

                                                    Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with the regulations. Containers in which spilt substance has been

                                                    collected must be adequately labelled.

Handling and storage

During its lifecycle the substance should be handled under strictly controlled conditions and it should be rigorously contained in accordance

with Art. 18. Considering national regulation and best practise standards technical, organizational and PPE measures should be taken to minimize release of and exposure to this substance. Employees shall be regularly trained. The efficiency of these measures shall be controlled e.g. by workplace measurements. In case of deviations these measures shall be adapted. See ection 13 of dossier for details.

Advice on safe handling:       Provide good ventilation of working area (local exhaust ventilation if necessary). Avoid formation of aerosols.

Take precautionary measures against electrostatic loading. Observe the usual precautions for handling chemicals.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion: The product is combustible. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

Keep away from sources of ignition - refrain from smoking. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic charges - earthing necessary during loading operations. Observe the general rules of industrial fire protection.

Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect from direct sunlight.

Do not store or transport together with foodstuffs. Do not store together with animal feedstocks.
