Explosion Limits: Lower: Not Available Upper: Not Available
Auto Ignition Temperature: Not Available
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray.
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained respirator and fully protective impervious suit. Specific Hazards: May emit hazardous fumes under fire conditions.
Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Hygiene measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) 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: The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Handle with gloves.
Eye protection: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Do not use an eye ointment. Seek medical attention.
Skin and body protection: After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Gently and thoroughly wash the contaminated skin with running water and non-abrasive soap. Be particularly careful to clean folds, crevices, creases and groin. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
