DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY	Not available.
The substance is toxic to blood, kidneys, the nervous system, liver.Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.

EyeContact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Inhalation: Allow the victim to rest in a well ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.Serious Inhalation: Not available.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Not available.
Risks of explosion of the product in presence of static discharge: Not available.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions:
Flammable liquid, insoluble in water.
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder.
LARGE FIRE: Use water spray or fog. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order to prevent pressure
build-up, autoignition or explosion.
Special Remarks on Fire Hazards:
Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. Vapor may travel considerable distance to source
of ignition and flash back. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: Not available.

Small Spill: Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal.
Large Spill:
Toxic flammable liquid, insoluble or very slightly soluble in water.
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY earth,
sand or other non-combustible material. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent
entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources. Call for assistance
on disposal. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the
MSDS and with local authorities

Precautions:
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not
ingest. Do not breathe gas/fumes/ vapour/spray. If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the
container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents.
Storage:
Flammable materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room. Keep away from heat. Keep
away from sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Ground all
equipment containing material. A refrigerated room would be preferable for materials with a flash point lower than
37.8°C (100°F).

Engineering Controls:
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their
respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the
work-station location.
Personal Protection:
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Vapor respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:
Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be
used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.
Exposure Limits:
TWA: 100 STEL: 150 (ppm) from ACGIH (TLV)
TWA: 434 STEL: 651 (mg/m3) from ACGIHConsult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
