Safety Information
EJ6700000
Flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Above 52 °C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.
Use water spray, foam, alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Personal protection: chemical protection suit and filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in covered containers as far as possible.
Fireproof. Separated from oxidants. Well closed.
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly on spraying.
The substance is corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion.
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 52 °C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment.
STRICT HYGIENE!
Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.
