Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Toxicological hazard Little hazard to respiratory tract if inhaled. Cause mild skin irritation. In case of contact with eyes, causes temporarily irritation. Little harmful to health if swallowed.
Other physicochemical hazards
Particular Hazard Combustible Flammability No information available FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation Skin Contact Eye contact If Inhaled, move victim to fresh air and seek medical attention. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention if irritation persists. Ingestion Induce vomiting immediately and call a physician. ACCIDENT RELAEASE MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media: Special fire fighting procedures Foam, powder, carbon dioxide Remove sources of combustibles. Extinguish the fire using fire-fighting media listed above. The fire fighting should be done from the windward side, with suitable respiratory protective device, if necessary. Cool containers / tank with water spray. ACCIDENT RELAEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from the area. Work from the windward side. Remove all sources of ignition. Environmental precautions: Methods for cleaning up Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Put in an empty container for recovery after preventing spill by sand or sandbags, if the amount of spill is large. Put in an empty container for recovery after wiping or soaking up in an inert material, if the amount of spill is small. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling- technical measure Advice on safe handling
