	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Flammable. Above 58°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 58°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment.	Use dry powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, water spray. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin	Dry skin. Redness.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety spectacles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Drowsiness. Unconsciousness. Further see Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Rest. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure Exposure mainly occurs via inhalation. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Ingestion of large amounts could cause lowering of consciousness.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking.
