Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing
Additional Advice: Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Prevent extinguishing water from getting into surface water or sewer system.
Personal Protection: Use chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and suitable protective clothing. Avoid skin and eye contact. Ventilate area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, and soil. Notify authorities if product enters waterways.
Clean-Up Methods: Contain spilled material with absorbent (sand, earth). Collect and place in containers for proper disposal. Wash spill site with water and detergent.
Handling: Use with good industrial hygiene and safety measures. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Prevent contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Avoid inhaling vapors, sprays, or mists.
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizing agents, strong acids, and moisture. Protect from sunlight and extremes of temperature.
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases
Specific Storage Requirements: Clearly label containers. Keep away from food, feed, and drinking water.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for this compound
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation, particularly in confined areas
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles, face shield if risk of splashing, protective clothing
Respiratory Protection: Use suitable respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate or risk of inhalation of spraying/mists exists
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat, drink or smoke during use
Appearance: Pale yellow to yellow viscous liquid or waxy solid

Routes of Entry: Skin, eyes, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: No reliable human data. Animal studies suggest low acute toxicity, but skin and eye irritation observed.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Causes moderate to significant irritation with prolonged or repeated exposure.
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes significant irritation and redness.
Respiratory Sensitization: Not classified as a respiratory sensitizer.
Skin Sensitization: Not expected to cause prolonged sensitization.
Repeated Dose Toxicity: No evidence of chronic effects from available product data.
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: No indication of carcinogenic or mutagenic effects in available studies.
Reproductive Toxicity: No data suggesting adverse effects on reproduction.
Ecotoxicity: Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. LC50 values for fish and aquatic invertebrates typically fall in the low mg/L range.
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable according to OECD tests; may persist in environment.
Bioaccumulative Potential: High log Kow value suggests significant bioaccumulation.
Mobility in Soil: Strong adsorption to soil particles, low mobility expected.
Other Adverse Effects: Can contribute to eutrophication in surface waters if released in large quantities.
Disposal Methods: Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations. Incineration under controlled conditions preferred.
Disposal of Packaging: Triple rinse containers prior to disposal or recycling. Do not reuse packaging for any other purpose.
