2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

1) 4-Hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone 3658-77-3 $0.3 EYE IRRITATION - Category 2A SKIN SENSITIZATION - Category 1A Ll Any concentration shown as a range is to protect confidentiality or is due to batch variation, Trade secret provisions for the US can be found in 29 CFR 1910.1200(i). There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting in this section. Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8. |919.3421U Section 5. Fire-fighting measures “xtinguishing media Suitable extinguishing Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray (fog) or foam. media Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet. media Specific hazards arising Combustible liquid. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Ina fire or if from the chemical heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. Hazardous thermal No specific data. decomposition products Special protective actions Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Special protective Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. For emergency responders: If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non- emergency personnel". Environmental precautions =: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Methods and materials { tainment and cleani Small spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Large spill Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section information and Section 13 for waste disposal. 1 for emergency contact |915.3421U | Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Appropriate engineering General protective and hygienic measures: ontrols Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Avoid contact with the eyes. Breathing equipment: The implementation of appropriate process and engineering controls is generally preferable to simply providing employees with personal respiratory protection when handling flavoring substances. However, if respiratory protection is necessary, the employer should provide to employees a respirator that provides both high efficiency particulate air (HEPA or P100) filtration for particulates and also provides protection against organic vapors (as applicable, HEPA/OV cartridge, P100/OV cartridge, or atmosphere supplying respirators). The Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association of the United States (FEMA) like NIOSH recommends that all companies handling flavor substances have a health and safety program oriented around the following five areas of emphasis: 1, Management and employee awareness through education and hazard communication. 2. Exposure assessment and control. 3. Medical surveillance. 4. Material handling strategies and engineering controls for manufacturing, storage, packing and shipping facilities. 5. Personal respiratory protection. See Technical Guidance Document, Section 16 Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. ndividual protection measur Hygiene measures Wash hands and forearms thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Eye/face protection Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side- shields. Skin protection Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated. Body protection Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. 915.3421U Section 10.
