3. Hazard identification
Classification Harmful
R 10 - Flammable.
R 20 - Harmful by inhalation.
R 36/38 - Irritating to eyes and skin.
4. First aid measures
INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air, loosen restrictive clothing and calm the victim.
Do not allow victim to become chilled. Keep victim warm. Keep airway open. Consult
physician.
SKIN CONTACT: Thoroughly wash skin with soap and water. Immediately remove all contaminated
clothing. Wash contaminated clothing prior to re-use.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids
apart. Subsequently consult physician.
SWALLOWING: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water
5. Fire fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water fog, foam, extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide.
Particular hazards arising from the preparation itself, combustion products or resulting gases:
Toxic gases may form.
Particular protective equipment:
Wear suitable protective clothing. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Do not inhale vapors. Wear protective equipment. Keep away from unprotected people.
Environmental precautions: Do not allow entering drains, surface waters, basements or pits.
Methods for cleaning up / spillage removal:
Absorb with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents). Provide
adequate ventilation.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
Information for safe handling:
Keep away from heat.
Do not inhale vapors.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Provide good ventilation and/or an exhaust system in the work area.
Precautions against fire and explosion:
Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Storage
Requirements for storerooms and containers:
Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Information about storage in one common storage facility:
Do not store together with organic peroxides.

See also Information in chapter 7, section storage.
Limitation and monitoring of exposure at workplace.
Respiratory protection: Use respiratory protection whenever ventilation is inadequate.
Hand protection: Protective gloves according to EN 374.
The glove manufacturer's instructions must be observed concerning the penetrability and the wearing-out
time.
eye protection: Tightly sealed safety glasses according to EN 166.
Body protection: Closed work clothing
General protection and hygiene measures:
Wash hands when done working with material; at breaks, lunch, shift changes, etc.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
