Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. If inhaled If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician. In case of skin contact Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician. In case of eye contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. If swallowed Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed When ingested early symptoms mimic alcohol inebriation and are followed by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness, muscle tenderness, respiratory failure, convulsions, cardiovascular collapse, pulmonary edema, hypocalcemic tetany, and severe metabolic acidosis. Without treatment, death may occur in 8 to 24 hours. Victims who survive the initial toxicity period usually develop renal failure along with brain and liver damage., Exposure to and/or consumption of alcohol may increase toxic effects.

This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an Industrial Hygienist familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario. Body Protection Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Respiratory protection Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). 9. 9.1 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Information on basic physical and chemical properties a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) Appearance Odour Odour Threshold pH Melting point/freezing point Initial boiling point and boiling range Flash point Evaporation rate Form: liquid Colour: colourless no data available no data available no data available Melting point/range: -13 °C 196 - 198 °C 111 °C - closed cup 1 i) Flammability (solid, gas) no data available j) k) l) Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits Vapour pressure Vapour density Upper explosion limit: 15,3 %(V) Lower explosion limit: 3,2 %(V) 0,11 hPa at 20 °C 0,13 hPa at 20 °C 2,14 - (Air = 1.0) m) Relative density 1,113 g/mL at 25 °C n) o) p) q) r) s) t) Water solubility Partition coefficient: n- octanol/water Autoignition temperature Decomposition temperature Viscosity Explosive properties Oxidizing properties completely misciblesoluble log Pow: -1,36 no data available no data available no data available no data available no data available 9.2 Other safety information no data available 10. 10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4 10.5 10.6 11. 11.1 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Reactivity no data available Chemical stability no data available Possibility of hazardous reactions no data available Conditions to avoid no data available Incompatible materials Strong acids, Strong oxidizing agents, Strong bases, Aldehydes, Aluminum Hazardous decomposition products Other decomposition products - no data available TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Information on toxicological effects Acute toxicity LD50 Oral - rat - 4.700 mg/kg LD50 Dermal - rabbit - 10.626 mg/kg Skin corrosion/irritation no data available Serious eye damage/eye irritation Eyes - rabbit - Mild eye irritation - 24 h Respiratory or skin sensitization no data available Germ cell mutagenicity no data available Carcinogenicity This product is or contains a component that is probably not carcinogenic based on its IARC, ACGIH, NTP, or EPA classification.
