4. First aid measures4.1. Description of first aid measuresFirst-aid measures general : Before attempting to rescue casualties, isolate area from all potential sources of ignition

including disconnecting electrical supply.Ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is present beforeentry into confined spaces.Drench contaminated clothing with water before removing to avoid risk of sparks from staticelectricity.

First-aid measures after inhalation : if breathing is difficult, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable forbreathing.If casualty is unconscious and:Not breathingEnsure that there is no obstruction to breathing and give artificial respiration by trainedpersonnel.If necessary, give external cardiac massage and obtain medical advice.BreathingPlace in the recovery position.Administer oxygen if necessary.Obtain medical attention if casualty has an altered state of consciousness or if symptoms do notresolve.

First-aid measures after skin contact : Remove contaminated clothing, contaminated footwear and dispose of safely.Wash affected area with soap and water.Seek medical attention if skin irritation, swelling or redness develops and persists.Do not wait for symptoms to develop.For minor thermal burns, cool the burnHold the burned area under cold running water for at least five minutes, or until the painsubsides.Body hypothermia must be avoided.

First-aid measures after eye contact : Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do soContinue rinsingIf irritation, blurred vision or swelling occurs and persists, obtain medical advice from aspecialist.

First-aid measures after ingestion : in case of ingestion, always assume that aspiration has occurred.The casualty should be sent immediately to hospitalDo not wait for symptoms to develop.Do not induce vomiting as there is high risk of aspiration.Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayedSymptoms/injuries after inhalation : Inhalation of vapours may cause headache, nausea, vomiting and an altered state of

consciousness.Symptoms/injuries after skin contact : Symptoms: reddening, irritation.Symptoms/injuries after eye contact : Slight eye irritation.Symptoms/injuries after ingestion : Ingestion (swallowing) of this material may result in an altered state of consciousness and loss

of coordination.

4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment neededNo relevant data available

5. Firefighting measures5.1. Extinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing media : Foam (trained personnel only). Water fog (trained personnel only). Dry chemical powder.

Carbon dioxide. Other inert gases (subject to regulations). Sand or earth.Unsuitable extinguishing media : Do not use direct water jets on the burning product;. they could cause splattering and spread

the fire. Simultaneous use of foam and water on the same surface is to be avoided as waterdestroys the foam.

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureReactivity : This substance is stable under all ordinary circumstances at ambient temperatures, and if

released into the environment.

5.3. Advice for firefightersProtection during firefighting : In case of a large fire or in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, wear full fire resistant

protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-pieceoperated in positive pressure mode.

Other information : Incomplete combustion is likely to give rise to a complex mixture of airborne solid and liquidparticulates, gases, including carbon monoxide. unidentified organic and inorganic compounds.

6. Accidental release measures6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

6.1.1. For non-emergency personnelProtective equipment : Small spillages: normal antistatic working clothes are usually adequate.

Large spillages: full body suit of chemically resistant and antistatic material.Work gloves providing adequate chemical resistance, specifically to aromatic hydrocarbons.Work helmet.Antistatic non-skid safety shoes or bootsGoggles and /or face shield, if splashes or contact with eyes is possible or anticipated.Respiratory protection:a half or full-face respirator with filter(s) for organic vapours/H2S, or a Self-contained BreathingApparatus (SCBA) can be used according to the extent of spill and predictable amount ofexposure. If the situation cannot be completely assessed, or if an oxygen deficiency ispossible, only SCBA’s should be used.

Emergency procedures : Stop or contain leak at the source, if safe to do soAvoid direct contact with released materialStay upwindIn case of large spillages, alert occupants in downwind areas.Keep non-involved personnel away from the area of spillage. Alert emergency personnelExcept in case of small spillages,The feasibility of any actions should always be assessed and advised, if possible, by a trained,competent person in charge of managing the emergency.Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so (e.g. electricity, sparks, fires, flaresIf required, notify relevant authorities according to all applicable regulationsIf necessary dike the product with dry earth, sand or similar non-combustible materials.Large spillages may be cautiously covered with foam, if available, to limit vapour cloudformation.Do not use direct jetsWhen inside buildings or confined spaces, ensure adequate ventilation.

6.1.2. For emergency respondersNo relevant data available

6.2. Environmental precautionsPrevent product from entering sewers, rivers or other bodies of water, or underground spaces (tunnels, cellars, etc.)Absorb spilled product with suitable non-combustible materials.Transfer collected product and other contaminated materials to suitable containers for recovery or safe disposal.In case of soil contamination, remove contaminated soil and treat in accordance with local regulations.In case of small spillages in closed waters, contain product with floating barriers or other equipmentCollect spilled product by absorbing with specific floating absorbentsIf possible, large spillages in open waters should be contained with floating barriers or other mechanical means.Contain spillage – ventilate area and allow to evaporate.The use of dispersants should be advised by an expert, and, if required, approved by local authorities.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning upFor containment : recommended measures are based on the most likely spillage scenarios for this material;

however, local conditions (wind, air temperature, wave/current direction and speed) maysignificantly influence the choice of appropriate actionsFor this reason, local experts should be consulted when necessary.Local regulations may also prescribe or limit actions to be taken.

7. Handling and storage7.1. Precautions for safe handlingPrecautions for safe handling : Obtain special instructions before use. Risk of explosive mixtures of vapour and air. Ensure that

all relevant regulations regarding explosive atmospheres, and handling and storage facilities offlammable products, are followed. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. Donot eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Avoid contact with the hot product. Avoidrelease to the environment. Take precautionary measures against static electricity.Ground/bond containers, tanks and transfer/receiving equipment. Use explosion-proofelectrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. The vapour is heavierthan air. Beware of accumulation in pits and confined spaces. Use only bottom loading oftankers, in compliance with European legislation. Do not use compressed air for filling,discharging, or handling operations. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not ingest. Do notbreathe vapours. Use adequate personal protective equipment as required. For moreinformation regarding protective equipment and operational conditions see Exposure scenarios.Ensure that proper housekeeping measures are in place. Keep away from food and beverages.Wash the hands thoroughly after handling. Change contaminated clothes at the end of workingshift.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesTechnical measures : Before entering storage tanks and commencing any operation in a confined area, check the

atmosphere for oxygen content and flammability. Light hydrocarbon vapours can build up in theheadspace of containers. These can cause flammability / explosion hazards. Open slowly inorder to control possible pressure release. Empty containers may contain flammable productresidues. Do not weld, solder, drill, cut or incinerate empty containers, unless they have beenproperly cleaned.
