Administrative data
First-aid measures
- Inhalation: Remove the person from exposed area to fresh air area immediately. If necessary, administer therapeutic oxygen or give artificial respiration. If any sympthoms appear seek medical advise.
- Eyes: Wash immediately with large amounts of water for 15 minutes; keep the eyelid open with the finger. Seek medical advise if any symptoms appear.
- Skin: Remove contaminated clothes and shoes immediately. Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and large amount of water until no evidence of chemical remains (15-20 minutes). Seek medical advise if any symptoms appear.
Ingestion: If swallowed wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Do not induce vomit. Seek medical advise if any symptoms appear.
Fire-fighting measures
Product arising from burning: Thermal decomposition or combustion may include toxic and hazardous fumes .
Protective equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure demand and protective clothing.
Accidental release measures
Sweep up with inert absorbent material, and clean with plenty of water. Ventilate area.
Send to the storage waiting for disposal procedures.
In the event of accidental release or leakage, prevent the substance from reaching surface, subterranean water or the sewage system.
Handling and storage
Handle in a ventilated area
Avoid contact with incompatible materials/substances
Wear appropriate PPE
Keep away from water drainage system
Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas
Wash hands after use
Remove contaminated clothing and PPE before entering eating areas
Avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes, the inhalation of mist or vapour
Keep containers tightly closed, in cool, well-ventilated environments, protect from sources of heat
Avoid direct sunlight

Exposure controls / personal protection
Eye/face protection: Safety glasses according to standard EN 166; face-shield
Hand protection: Gloves resistant to chemical products according to standard EN and Community directives. The material of the gloves must be waterproof and stable for contact with the substance. Choose the material of the gloves on the basis of the breakthrough time, rates of permeation and degradation.
Body protection: Choose the suitable protective gear according to the activity and the exposure.
Respiratory protection: If the risk assessment envisages the need for self-contained breathing apparatus, use respirators tested and approved by competent certifying bodies, such as NIOSH (USA) and CEN (EU). For short and minimum exposure, use a full-face mask (EN 136) with built-in respirator; for more intense and long-lasting exposure, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Stability and reactivity
The substance reacts on contact with strong oxidising agents.
The substance is classified as higly flammable. Avoid high temperature and source of ignition.
Disposal considerations
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
