Page 1 of 6

2 4. First aid measures After inhalation: fresh air. If necessary apply mouth to mouth resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. Keep airways free. After skin contact: wash off with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing. After eye contact: rinse out with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes with the eyelid held wide open. Summon eye specialist. After swallowing: immediately make victim drink plenty of water. Subsequently administer: activated charcoal (20-40g in 10% slurry). Risk of aspiration! Do not induce vomiting. No milk. No digestible oils. Keep airways free. Summon doctor. Laxative: sodium sulfate (1 tablespoon/ 1/4 l water). After ingestion of large amounts: gastric lavage. 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media: Powder, foam. Fire extinguisher: carbon dioxide, powder. Special risks: Combustible. Vapours heavier than air. Formation of explosible mixtures possible with air. Keep away from sources of ignition. Special protective equipment for fire fighting: Do not stay in dangerous zone without suitable chemical protection clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Other information: Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering surface water or groundwater. 6. Accidental release measures Person-related precautionary measures: Do not inhale vapours/aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure supply of fresh air in enclosed rooms. Environmental-protection measures: Do not allow to enter sewerage system; risk of explosion! Procedures for cleaning / absorption: Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb). Forward for disposal. Clean up affected area. 7. Handling and storage Handling Take measures to prevent electrostatic charging. Keep away from sources of ignition. Page 2 of 6

3 Storage Tightly closed. In a well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition and heat. At +15 C to +25 C. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Personal protective equipment Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous substances handled. The resistance of the protective clothing to chemicals should be ascertained with the respective supplier. Respiratory protection: required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Eye protection: required Hand protection: required Industrial hygiene: Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply skin- protective barrier cream. Wash hands and face after working with substance. 9.

Stability and reactivity Conditions to be avoided Heating. Page 3 of 6

4 Substances to be avoided Oxidizing agent. Hazardous decomposition products No information available. Further information Highly flammable. Unsuitable working materials: various plastics, rubber. Explosible with air in a vaporous/gaseous state. 11. Toxicological information Acute toxicity LD50 (oral, rat): 2080 mg/kg; LC50 (inhalation, rat): mg/l /4 h; LD50 (dermal, rabbit): >16000 mg/kg. Specific symptoms in animal studies: Skin irritation test (rabbit): Slight irritations. Eye irritation test (rabbit): Slight irritations. Sub acute to chronic toxicity An embryo toxic effect need not be feared when the threshold limit value is observed. Further toxicological information After inhalation: Irritations of the mucous membranes, coughing, and dyspnoea. After skin contact: Irritations. Drying-out effect resulting in rough and chapped skin. Danger of skin absorption. After eye contact: vapours: irritant effect. After swallowing: gastrointestinal complaints, Systemic effects: headache, inebriation, nausea, narcosis. Further data The product should be handled with the care usual when dealing with chemicals. 12. Ecological information Behaviour in environmental compartments: Distribution: log P(oct): 1.31 (experimental); No appreciable bioaccumulation potential is to be expected (log P(o/w) 1-3).

5 Fish toxicity: Onchorhynchus mykiss LC50: 600 mg/l /96 h; P.promelas LC50: mg/l /96 h; Daphnia toxicity: Daphnia magna EC50: 170 mg/l /48 h; Algeal toxicity: Selenastrum capricornutum IC50: 400 mg/l /96 h; Bacterial toxicity: Photobacterium phosphoreum EC50: 80 mg/l /5 min; Maximum permissible toxic concentration: Algeal toxicity: Sc.quadricauda IC5: 725 mg/l /7 d; Bacterial toxicity: Ps.putida EC5: 275 mg/l /16 h; M.aeruginosa EC5: 136 mg/l /8 d; Protozoa: E.sulcatum EC5: 447 mg/l /72 h. Further ecologic data: Degradability: ThOD: 2.72 g/g; BOD 4.4 % of ThOD /5 d COD 79 % of ThOD. Do not allow to enter waters, waste water, or soil! 13. Disposal considerations Product There are no uniform EC Regulations for the disposal of chemicals or residues. Chemical residues generally count as special waste. The disposal of the latter is regulated in the EC member countries through corresponding laws and regulations. We recommend that you contact either the authorities in charge or approved waste disposal companies which will advise you on how to dispose of special waste. Packaging Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging in the same way as the substance itself. If not officially specified differently, non-contaminated packaging may be treated like household waste or recycled. 14.
