	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Flammable. Above 44°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with strong oxidizing agents. Above 44°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment.	Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.


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

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Remove all ignition sources. Personal protection: face shield. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria WARNING Flammable liquid and vapour Causes serious eye irritation Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Fireproof. Cool. Separated from strong oxidants.
