First-aid measures 4.1 Description of first aid measures Inhalation: Remove from exposure site to fresh air, keep at rest, and obtain medical attention. Eye exposure: Flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. Contact physician if symptoms persist. Skin exposure: IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Ingestion: IF SWALLOWED: call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Harmful if swallowed. May cause an allergic skin reaction. May be harmful in contact with skin. 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed None expected, see Section 4.1 for further information. Section 5: Firefighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable media: Carbon dioxide, Dry chemical, Foam. 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture In case of fire, may be liberated: Carbon monoxide, Unidentified organic compounds. 5.3 Advice for fire fighters: In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Section 6. Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. See protective measures under Section 7 and 8. 6.2 Environmental precautions: Keep away from drains, surface and ground water, and soil. 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Remove ignition sources. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid excessive inhalation of vapours. Contain spillage immediately by use of sand or inert powder. Dispose of according to local regulations. 6.4 Reference to other sections: Also refer to sections 8 and 13. Section 7.

Keep container tightly closed. Keep cool. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical, ventilating and lighting equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. 7.3 Specific end use(s): Fragrances: Use in accordance with good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection 8.1 Control parameters Workplace exposure limits: Not Applicable 8.2 Exposure Controls Eye / Skin Protection Wear protective gloves/eye protection/face protection Respiratory Protection Under normal conditions of use and where adequate ventilation is available to prevent build up of excessive vapour, this material should not require special engineering controls. However, in conditions of high or prolonged use, or high temperature or other conditions which increase exposure, the following engineering controls can be used to minimise exposure to personnel: a) Increase ventilation of the area with local exhaust ventilation. b) Personnel can use an approved, appropriately fitted respirator with organic vapour cartridge or canisters and particulate filters. c) Use closed systems for transferring and processing this material. Also refer to Sections 2 and 7. Section 9.
