	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Highly flammable. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Heating will cause rise in pressure with risk of bursting.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. Use non-sparking handtools.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation		Use ventilation.	Fresh air, rest. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention if skin irritation occurs.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety spectacles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion	Nausea. Vomiting. Aspiration hazard!	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

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. Ventilation. Collect leaking liquid in covered containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT wash away into sewer.	According to UN GHS Criteria DANGER Highly flammable liquid and vapour May be harmful if swallowed or if inhaled Causes mild skin irritation Causes eye irritation May be harmful if swallowed and enters airways Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: II
STORAGE
Separated from strong oxidants. Fireproof. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Ventilation along the floor.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. Effects of short-term exposure The vapour is irritating to the eyes and skin. If swallowed the substance may cause vomiting and could result in aspiration pneumonitis. The effects may be delayed.	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
