First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, let rest in position comfortable for breathing, seek care if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse thoroughly with mild soap and water, obtain medical advice for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with clean, lukewarm water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy, seek medical attention if discomfort persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek professional medical guidance if symptoms occur
Most Important Symptoms: Eye redness, mild skin irritation, rarely mild respiratory discomfort from aerosols
Recommendation for Immediate Attention: Seek prompt care for prolonged eye or respiratory discomfort

Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide for suppression; water spray for cooling containers
Unsuitable Media: Strong water jets may spread spilled esters
Hazardous Combustion Products: Burning produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and potentially trace aldehydes
Specific Firefighting Procedures: Keep containers cool by water mist, isolate area, extinguish upwind
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use standard turnout gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Explosion Data: Product itself is not explosive but fine mist in air may increase flammability
Unusual Fire Hazards: Slippery residues from extinguished product on solid surfaces

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Secure area, prevent slip hazards, eliminate ignition sources
Protective Equipment: Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing for clean-up
Emergency Procedures: Restrict unnecessary traffic, ventilate area as needed
Spill Containment: Contain spill with non-combustible absorbents such as sand or vermiculite
Cleanup Methods: Absorb product, collect for disposal according to local regulations, wash area with detergent and water
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering drains, watercourses, or soil

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Avoid direct contact with eyes, extensive skin exposure; use in well-ventilated area
Protection During Handling: Wear basic personal protective equipment
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible substances
Temperature Range: Preferably between 15°C and 30°C; do not freeze or subject to excessive heat
Incompatibility: Strong acids, strong bases, and oxidative substances without proper containment
Storage Locations: Dry, cool, well-ventilated warehouse meeting chemical safety codes
Special Requirements: Keep packaging properly sealed to avoid contamination or moisture ingress

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
