	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Flammable. Above 33°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with acids, bases or water.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with acids, bases or water. Above 33°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment.	Use carbon dioxide, dry sand. NO hydrous agents. NO water. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact with water.

PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention if skin irritation occurs.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	See Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Remove all ignition sources. Evacuate danger area! Consult an expert! Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking liquid in covered containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. NEVER direct water jet on liquid.	According to UN GHS Criteria Flammable liquid and vapour Harmful if swallowed or if inhaled Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Subsidiary Risks: 3; UN Pack Group: I
STORAGE
Separated from acids, bases and food and feedstuffs. Well closed. Fireproof. Cool. Dry. Store only if stabilized.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Transport only if stabilized.
