Most important symptoms and effects
Difficulty in breathing. Inhalation of high vapor concentrations may cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting
Self-Protection of the First Aider
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and prevent spread of contamination.
Notes to Physician
Treat symptomatically. Symptoms may be delayed.
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Chemical foam. Water mist may be used to cool closed containers.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Flammable. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

| HEALTH | 2 | Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g. diethyl ether, ammonium phosphate, iodine) | |
| FIRE | 3 | Liquids and solids (including finely divided suspended solids) that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions . Liquids having a flash point below 22.8 °C (73 °F) and having a boiling point at or above 37.8 °C (100 °F) or having a flash point between 22.8 and 37.8 °C (73 and 100 °F). (e.g. gasoline, acetone) | |
| REACT | 1 | Normally stable, but can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures (e.g. propene) | |
| SPEC. HAZ. |
Personal Precautions
Remove all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Environmental Precautions
See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Methods for Containment and Clean Up
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Do not let this chemical enter the environment. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 8 and 13.
Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 8 and 13.
Handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. If peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move container. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded.
Storage
Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Flammables area. May form explosive peroxides on prolonged storage. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.
Containers should be dated when opened and tested periodically for the presence of peroxides. Should crystals form in a peroxidizable liquid, peroxidation may have occurred and the product should be considered extremely dangerous. In this instance, the container should only be opened remotely by professionals. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Exposure Controls
Engineering Measures
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source.
