Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Remove all
ignition sources. Personal protection: filter respirator for According to UN GHS Criteria
organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne
concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled
liquid in sealable non-plastic containers as far as possible.
Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then
store and dispose of according to local regulations. Wash
away remainder with plenty of water.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure Inhalation risk

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly
its vapour. on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or
dispersing, however, much faster.
Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. The Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dryness
Exposure far above the OEL could cause unconsciousness. and cracking.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS

TLV: 200 ppm as TWA; 400 ppm as STEL; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); BEI issued.
MAK: 500 mg/m3, 200 ppm; peak limitation category: II(2); pregnancy risk group: C

ENVIRONMENT
Environmental effects of the substance have been adequately investigated, but no significant effects have been found.

NOTES
When large surface areas of skin and clothes are exposed to the pure substance the fire hazard is the main concern,
for which rinsing first and then removing clothes is advised.
