No data available

Special hazards arising from the chemical:

Hazardous combustion products may include carbon monoxide.

Special fire fighting methods and special protective actions for fire-fighters:

Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, and wear full-length firefighting gear, and cool the exposed container with water until all fire sources have been extinguished. Contain and dispose of fire-fighting water to prevent chemicals from entering the environment.

Section 6 Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Environmental precautions:

Keep away from drains, water and soil. Advise authorities if spilled material has entered water courses or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.

Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Precautions to prevent the occurrence of secondary hazards:

Dispose of the collected spill immediately to avoid further leaks or sewers.

Section 7 Handling and Storage

Safe handling

Local and general ventilation:

Operations should be carried out in a place with partial ventilation or full ventilation.

Safety instructions:

Operators should follow the procedure and use the personal protective equipment recommended by the SDS section 8.

Precautions:

Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Storage

Suitable storage conditions:

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Incompatible materials:

Strong oxidizing agents, Nitrates, Strong acids, Strong bases.

Safe packaging materials:

Keep it in the original container. 

Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Occupational exposure limits:

Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (CAS#111-15-9): O ELs(mg/m3): MAC: -; PC-TWA: 30; PC-STEL: - Note: Skin

Biological limits:

No standard has been established.

Engineering controls:

Ensure adequate ventilation. The workplace shall have safe place to shower, clean eyes and body, and place for safe care.

Personal protection equipment

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).

Hand protection:

Handle with gloves.

Eye protection:

Face shield and safety glasses.

Skin and body protection:

Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.

Hygiene measures:

Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands after handling. Do not eat and drink in the workplace.
