	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	NO open flames. PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST.	Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles.	Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion	No acute symptoms expected.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria DANGER Causes mild skin irritation May cause an allergic skin reaction May cause genetic defects May damage fertility or the unborn child Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 9; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Separated from food and feedstuffs. Dry. Well closed. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Physical dangers Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Reacts with strong oxidants and peroxides. This generates fire and explosion hazard.	Formula: C₁₄H₁₈N₄O₃ Molecular mass: 290.3 Melting point: No melting point; decomposes at 140°C Solubility in water, mg/l at 25°C: 3.8 (very poor) Vapour pressure, Pa at 25°C: (negligible) Density: 0.38 g/cm³ Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.12 Explosive limits, vol% in air: 0.05 - ? Auto-ignition temperature: 220°C

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, by ingestion and through the skin. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract.	Inhalation risk A nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction. May cause genetic damage in humans.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, by ingestion and through the skin.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract.

Inhalation risk
A nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction. May cause genetic damage in humans.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: (inhalable fraction): 1 mg/m³, as TWA; (SEN). MAK: sensitization of skin (SH); germ cell mutagen group: 3A

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES
Do NOT take working clothes home. If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
