Prevention
|
First Aid/
Fire Fighting
|
|
FIRE
|
Highly flammable.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
|
Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
|
Explosion
|
Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.
|

Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
MOBILE LIQUID
Physical Dangers:
The vapour is heavier than air
and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.
The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed.
As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated.
Chemical Dangers:
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 300 ppm as TWA, 500 ppm as STEL; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); (ACGIH 2004).
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour,
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
.
If this liquid is swallowed, aspiration into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis.
The substance may cause effects on the
central nervous system
.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The liquid defats the skin.
The substance may have effects on the
central nervous system
and
liver
.
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
