TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
FIRE | Combustible. Gives off
irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. |
NO open flames. NO
contact with hot surfaces. |
Powder, carbon dioxide.
|
EXPLOSION | In case of fire: cool
drums, etc., by spraying with water but avoid contact of the substance
with water. | ||
![]() | |||
EXPOSURE | AVOID ALL CONTACT!
|
IN ALL CASES CONSULT
A DOCTOR! | |
Inhalation | Cough. Shortness of
breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed (see Notes). |
Closed system and
ventilation. |
Fresh air, rest.
Half-upright position. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for
medical attention. |
Skin | Redness. Burning
sensation. |
Protective gloves.
Protective clothing. |
Remove contaminated
clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical
attention. |
Eyes | Redness. Pain. Severe
deep burns. |
Safety goggles, face
shield, or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
|
First rinse with plenty
of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible),
then take to a doctor. |
Ingestion | Abdominal pain (further
see Inhalation). |
Do not eat, drink, or
smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. |
Rinse mouth. Do NOT
induce vomiting. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical
attention. |
SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Evacuate danger area!
Consult an expert! Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in
sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in dry
sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into
sewer (extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including
self-contained breathing apparatus). |

IMPORTANT DATA | |
PHYSICAL STATE;
APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS TO YELLOW-BROWN FUMING VISCOUS LIQUID , WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The vapour is heavier than air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating, on contact with acids and/or water, producing toxic and corrosive gases including hydrogen chloride and benzoic acid. Reacts violently with strong oxidants, metals (especially iron), alkali and earth alkali metals, bases and organic substances, causing fire and explosion hazard. On contact with air it emits toxic and corrosive hydrogen chloride (see ICSC # 0163. Attacks many metals in presence of water. Attacks many plastics. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. MAK: ppm; mg/m 3; IIIA2 (carcinogen in animal experiments) (1994). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates strongly the skin and the respiratory tract, and is corrosive to the eyes. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes). Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the liver, kidneys, thyroid, central nervous system and hematopoetic system , resulting in impaired functions and anaemia. This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans. |

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
NOTES | |
Combustible
vapour/air mixtures difficult to ignite, may be developed under certain
conditions. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical
examination is indicated. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become
manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical
effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential. Immediate
administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized
by him/her, should be considered. Do NOT take working clothes home. Do NOT
use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding.
