Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide. Explosion Above 25°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. Above 25°C use a closed system, ventilation, and explosion-proof electrical equipment. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. Exposure AVOID ALL CONTACT! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!  •Inhalation Cough. Sore throat. Headache. Dizziness. Nausea. Vomiting. Unconsciousness. Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.  •Skin MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain. (Further see Inhalation). Protective gloves. Protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention.  •Eyes Redness. Pain. Safety goggles, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.  •Ingestion Laboured breathing. (Further see Inhalation). Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention. Spillage Disposal Storage Packaging & Labelling Ventilation. Remove all ignition sources. Chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable plastic containers as far as possible. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Fireproof. Separated from metals and oxidants . Well closed.

Physical Dangers: The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. Chemical Dangers: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride . Reacts with oxidants , metals . Occupational Exposure Limits: TLV: 1 ppm as TWA; (skin); A3; (ACGIH 2004). MAK: H; Sh; Carcinogen category: 2; (DFG 2004). OSHA PEL: none NIOSH REL: Ca TWA 1 ppm (5 mg/m3) skin See Appendix A NIOSH IDLH: Ca N.D. See: IDLH INDEX Routes of Exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation Risk: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of Short-Term Exposure: The substance is irritating to the eyes , the skin and the respiratory tract . The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system . Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
