4. FIRST AID MEASURES
GENERAL INFORMATION: Remove contaminated or saturated clothing immediately.
INHALATION: Possible discomfort. Irritation of mucous lining (nose, throat, eyes) cough, sneezing, flow of tears.
Take affected persons out into fresh air. In case of persistent discomfort seek medical attention.
SKIN: When contact with skin, rinse immediately with soap and water.
EYE: Irrigate with eyewash solution or clear water, holding the eyelids apart, for at least 5 minutes. Obtain
immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Wash out mouth with water and give 200-300 ml (half a pint) of water to drink.
Obtain medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry Sand, foam, dry powder or CO2. Keep fire exposed containers cool by spraying with water.
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: High-pressure water jet.
FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: A self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing
should be worn in fire conditions.
FURTHER INFORMATION: Burning produces obnoxious and toxic fumes. Carbon Oxides.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent entry into drains. Do not contaminate surface water. Avoid subsoil
penetration. METHODS OF CLEANING UP: Adsorb spillages onto sand, earth or any suitable adsorbent material. Do
not adsorb onto sawdust or other combustible materials. Transfer to a container for disposal or recovery.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Irritant. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Sensitizing. Keep away from sources of ignition 鈥揘o
Smoking. Avoid inhalation of high concentration of vapors. Use only in well ventilated areas.
The vapor is heavier than air; beware of pits and confined spaces.
STORAGE: Keep only in original container. Store in cool, dry place away from heat, sparks, flame and direct
sunlight.
Keep container closed to prevent water absorption and contamination. Keep away from sources of
ignition 鈥? No Smoking.
IMPORTANT:
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Preferably not exceeding 25 潞C.
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES: Wash face and hands thoroughly with the soap and water after use and before
eating, drinking, smoking or applying cosmetics.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
COMPONENTS WITH WORKPLACE CONTROL PARAMETERS:
Triethylenetetramine CAS No: 112-24-3
ENGINEERING MEASURES: No special precautions required.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RESPIRATORS: Wear suitable respiratory protective equipment if exposure to levels above the occupational exposure
limit is likely. A suitable mask with filter type A may be appropriate. In the event of formation of
particularly high levels of vapor a self-contained breathing apparatus may be appropriate.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles.
GLOVES: Wear suitable gloves. PVA/Polyethylene laminate and supported PVA gloves offer the best protection. Gloves
should be changed regularly and if excessive exposure has occurred.
OTHER: Wear suitable protective clothing.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Do not breathe vapours/dust. Keep away from sources of ignition 鈥? No smoking.
Avoid contact with skin, eye & clothing.
