CAS-No. 8008-45-5 - Section 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Description of first aid measures General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician. In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician. In case of eye contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. If swallowed
Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water.
Consult a physician. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Dermatitis, Hallucinations., narcosis, Nausea, Dizziness, Headache, To the best of our knowledge, the
chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
no data available Section 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
no data available Advice for firefighters
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary. Further information
Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form
explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and
place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Reference to other sections
For disposal see section 13. Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic
charge. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Specific end uses
no data available Section 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control parameters Components with workplace control parameters Exposure controls Appropriate engineering controls
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at
the end of workday. Personal protective equipment Eye/face protection
Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique
(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of
contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
Wash and dry hands.
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the
standard EN 374 derived from it. Body Protection
impervious clothing, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing, The type of protective equipment
must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the
specific workplace. Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with
multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to
engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air
respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Section 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Information on basic physical and chemical properties
