EXPOSURE
STRICT HYGIENE!

  • INHALATION
    		• Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Sore throat. Unconsciousness.
    		Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
    		Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Refer for medical attention.
  • SKIN
    		• Redness. Skin burns. Pain.
    		Protective clothing.
    		Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.
  • EYES
    		• Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.
    		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. Diarrhoea. Nausea. Sore throat.
    		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
    		Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment (extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus).

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:

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


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin 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:
     The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Inhalation of the substance may cause lung oedema (see Notes).

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
    Boiling point: 295░C
    Melting point: 2░C
    Relative density (water = 1): 0.95
    Solubility in water: poor
    Vapour pressure, kPa at 20░C: <0.01
    Relative vapour density (air = 1): 7.59
    		 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20░C (air = 1): 1.00
    Flash point: 140░C (c.c.)
    Auto-ignition temperature: 370░C
    Explosive limits, vol% in air: see Notes
    Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.28
    ENVIRONMENTAL
    DATA
         		This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to water organisms.
    NOTES
    Explosive limits are unknown in literature. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
