Safety Information
Key safety data extracted from the official Safety Data Sheet
Key Hazards
Danger- May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways due to aspiration hazard
- Harmful if inhaled as vapor or mist
- Causes skin irritation on contact
- Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting environmental effects
- High-pressure injection under the skin may cause serious tissue damage and local necrosis
First Aid Quick Guide
Flush eye with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present. Continue rinsing and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Flush skin with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, then wash with soap. For high-pressure injection injuries, seek immediate hospital care without waiting for symptoms.
Move to fresh air immediately. If difficulty breathing, chest tightness, dizziness, or vomiting occurs, provide 100% oxygen and transport to nearest medical facility. Respiratory symptoms may be delayed several hours.
Call emergency services immediately. Do not induce vomiting. Transport to nearest medical facility. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration. Monitor for delayed symptoms over 6 hours.
Protection Needed
Not normally required under standard use conditions. If engineering controls are insufficient or material is heated/sprayed, use air-filtering respirators with filters suitable for combined particulate/organic gases meeting EN14387 and EN143 standards.
Wear PVC, neoprene, or nitrile rubber gloves approved to EN374 standards. For continuous contact, select gloves with breakthrough time exceeding 240 minutes (preferably over 480 minutes). Ensure glove thickness exceeds 0.35 mm.
Wear protective eyewear approved to EU Standard EN166, especially when material could splash into eyes.
Wear chemical-resistant gloves, gauntlets, and boots. Where splashing risk exists, also wear a protective apron to prevent contact with contaminated clothing.
