SYMPTOMS 		PREVENTION FIRST AID/
FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.

Alcohol-resistant foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION Risk of fire and explosion if formulations contain flammable/explosive solvents.


EXPOSURE
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

  • INHALATION

    		• Ventilation.

  • SKIN

    		• Protective gloves.
    		Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
  • EYES
    		• Redness.
    		Safety spectacles.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION

    		• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.
    		Refer for medical attention.
    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place.
    		Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from food and feedstuffs.
    		Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     COLOURLESS CRYSTALS.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:
     The substance decomposes on heating and on burning producing toxic fumes including sulfur oxides, hydrogen chloride.

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV not established.


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of dust.

    INHALATION RISK:
     Evaporation at 20░C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
     The substance may have effects on the kidneys and liver.
    PHYSICAL
    PROPERTIES
    Melting point: 148-149░C
    Relative density (water = 1): 1.5
    Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20░C: none
    		 Vapour pressure, Pa at 20░C: <0.001
    Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 4.6
    ENVIRONMENTAL
    DATA
         		The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
    N O T E S
    If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Acaroil TD, Acarvin, Agrex T-7.5, Akaritox, Aracnol K, Aredion, Mitifon, Mition, Polacaritox, Roztoczol, Roztozol, Tedion V-18, Tetradichlone, Tetranol V18 are trade names.
