3. Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
This material when properly handled according to good working and hygienic practices is not dangerous to human
health.
The material is not readily biodegradable and has a potential to accumulate in the environment. May cause long term
adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
For short and long term exposure effects see Section 11 Toxicological data
Eye Effects: Slightly irritating.
Skin Effects: Slightly irritating.
Ingestion/Oral Effects: Practically non poisonous.
Inhalation Effects: Extremely low volatility makes inhalation an unlikely hazard in normal use.

Health 1 Health 0 0 = No Hazard
Flammability 1 Flammability 1 1 = Slight hazard
Instability 0 Reactivity 0 2 = Moderate Hazard
3 = Serious Hazard
4 = Severe hazard
4. First Aid Measures
Flush with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Eyes:
Wash with soap and water.
Skin:
None.
Ingestion/Oral:
If high concentrations of mists or fumes are inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing
Inhalation:
problems occur, a qualified individual should administer oxygen or artificial respiration as
indicated. Seek immediate medical treatment for anyone who has symptoms apparently due
to inhalation of fumes produced in a fire or high temperature.
None.
Other Information:
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder or fine water spray.
Fire and Explosion Hazard: Decomposes in a fire giving off harmful fumes. Hazardous decomposition
products: carbon monoxide. Phenol and other phenolic compounds are generated
if grossly overheated under vacuum.
Special Protective Equipment In confined spaces or for large fires, fire fighters should wear a self-contained
for Fire Fighters: breathing apparatus (SCBA) which meets appropriate standards operated in
positive pressure mode, and full turnout gear. Wear skin protection adequate to
protect against thermal decomposition products.
For Flammability Properties - see Section 9
6. Accidental Release Measures
Avoid discharge into the environment. Keep out of drains and water courses Wipe surfaces with rags or cellulose
waste. Absorb material in sand or earth before sweeping up into containers for disposal.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: no special measures required. The material may soften some plastics-for example, polystyrene.
Storage: store in a cool well ventilated place.
