Cover spill with wet earth or sand and transfer to steel container for disposal. Wash area Wash area down with copious amounts of water.
7. Storage & Handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breath vapours. Do not allow to contaminate Ensure Local Exhaust Ventilation maintains vapour concentrations below the recommended Well ventilated, cool, dry storage .
8.1 Occupational Exposure Limits
8.2 Personal Protection
Use L.E.V. or natural ventilation to maintain vapour concentrations below exposure limits.
If not, use a well maintained chemical cartridge respirator, or use self contained Use chemical splash proof glasses or goggles.
If skin contact or contamination of clothing is likely, protective clothing must be worn.
9. Physical & Chemical Properties
Clear colourless to pale yellow liquid.
Can form explosive mixtures with air particularly in empty uncleaned receptacles.
10. Stability & Reactivity
Decomposes in contact with water or involve in a fire to produce toxic fumes of Beecroft & Partners - Material Safety Data Sheet 11. Toxicological Information
Both the vapour and liquid are, be extremely irritating to eyes and can cause chemical eye The liquid or concentrated vapour will cause burns. Severe ulceration and scarring may occur in serious cases. Repeated exposure may cause dermatitis.
Ingestion will cause severe mouth burns, and if swallowed extensive damage to the oesophagus. Symptoms may include salivation, thirst, difficulty in swallowing, pain, shock Exposure to vapour concentrations above the occupational exposure limits will produce irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract. High concentrations of vapour will seriously damage the membranes lining the nose, throat and upper respiratory tract.
