EXPOSURE
PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!

  • INHALATION
    		• Burning sensation. Dizziness. Headache. Nausea.
    		Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
  • SKIN
    		• Redness. Skin burns. Burning sensation. Numbness. Itching.
    		Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
  • EYES
    		• Redness. Pain.
    		Face shield.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION
    		• Abdominal pain. Vomiting (further see Inhalation).
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
    		Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Treat remaining liquid with alkali. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer (extra personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles).
    		Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs, alkalies. Keep in a well-ventilated room.
    		Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

     YELLOW OR BROWN VISCOUS LIQUID. PARTLY CRYSTALLINE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on heating gradually above 150░C producing toxic fumes including hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV not established.
    PDK not established.


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

    INHALATION RISK:
     No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20░C.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
