CAS #: 108-86-1

UN #: 2514

EC Number: 203-623-8

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Flammable. Above 51°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames. NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 51°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding).	Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.

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

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Remove all ignition sources. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Fireproof. Ventilation along the floor.
PACKAGING
