COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS     Additional Information The Full Text for all R-Phrases and Hazard Statements are Displayed in Section 16. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES   General - Move victim to fresh air, put at rest and loosen restrictive clothing. Do not allow victim   to become chilled. Keep victim warm. If victim is at risk of losing consciousness,   position and transport on their side. Call a physician immediately. Inhalation - Move victim to fresh air, put at rest and loosen restrictive clothing. If breathing   becomes irregular or ceases, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or artificial   respiration immediately, where required supply oxygen. Seek medical attention immediately Skin Contact - Immediately remove any wetted clothing, shoes or stockings. After contact with skin, wash   immediately with soap and plenty of water. Then cream your skin. In case of skin irritation,   consult a physician. Consult a physician Eye Contact - Immediately flush eyes with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding   eyelids apart. Subsequently seek the immediate attention of an ophthalmologist. Seek medical attention Ingestion - If swallowed, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice immediately and show this   sheet. Give activated carbon, in order to reduce the resorption in the gastro-enteric   tract. Seek medical attention immediately Common Symptoms and effects both acute and delayed Inhalation - For the development of any overt signs of toxicity in humans, accidental exposures to   extremely large amounts of acetone by inhalation of vapour or ingestion of liquid are   necessary (e. g. several thousand ppm of acetone vapour). When inhaled may   produce a narcotic effect. Ingestion - Gastric and intestinal problems. Skin Contact - Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking, due to defatting properties.   No indication for sensitising properties in humans. Eye Contact - Irritant. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Combat acidosis. Monitor alkali reserves. Monitor breathing. If breathing becomes irregular or ceases, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or artificial respiration immediately, where required supply oxygen. Attention: several hours latency period. In severe cases, pneumonia or a pulmonary edema may develop. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES   Fire Hazards - Highly flammable. Explosive mixtures with air may even form at room   temperature. Beware of reignition. Extinguishing Media - Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Powder or Water in a fog. Combustion Products - During fire, oxides of Carbon and water vapour are produced. Protective Equipment - Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn   in case of fire. Environmental - Keep run off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control. Procedures - Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Do   not expose to high temperature. Danger of bursting and explosion. Use fine   water spray to cool endangered containers. Move undamaged containers from   immediate hazard area if it can be done safely. Do not allow fire water to   penetrate into surface or ground water. Fire residuals and contaminated   extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations of   the local authorities. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES   Remove all sources of ignition. Vapours spread at floor level. Cover drainage holes and evacuate basement. Dilute with plenty of water. Use only explosion-protected equipment/instruments. Be advised that mixtures with 4% acetone and 96% water still have a flash point of 54°C so there is a risk of ignition of the acetone-water mixture. Potentially explosive mixtures with air may form above water surface. Personal - Remove persons not involved upwind. Wear a self-contained breathing   apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Solvent-resistant protective clothing   recommended. Environmental - Plug leak if safely possible. Do not allow to enter drains, surface waters,   basements or pits. When released into the environment, alert police and fire   brigade. Seal all low level rooms. Danger of explosion! Methods of Clean Up - If spill is in a large quantity, Dam spills and pump to remove. Explosion   protection required. Absorb leftover product with non-flammable liquid-binding   material (e.g. earth, sand, vermiculite or ground sand stone) and place in closed   containers for disposal. If spill is in flowing water, dilution will occur quickly. In   case of large spills/leaks inform appropriate local, state, and federal spill   reporting authorities. If spill is in standing water, seal off spillage and remove all   sources of ignition.   7. HANDLING AND STORAGE   Handling - Provide adequate ventilation, and local exhaust as needed. Provide room air exhaust at   ground level. Concentrated vapours are heavier than air. Avoid the formation of aerosol. Do   not breathe vapours. Use only explosion-protected equipment/instruments. Do not use air   pressure.   Exposure to temperatures exceeding 50°C will increase pressure: resulting in danger of   bursting or explosion. Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking. Take precautionary   measures against static discharge. Beware of reignition. Potentially explosive mixture may   form within partially empty containers. Emergency cooling must be provided for in case of a   fire in the vicinity. Do not weld. Storage - Keep container dry. Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect   from direct sunlight. Steel, stainless steel, and aluminium are stable container materials.   Copper may be attacked. May attack plastics. Do not store together with combustible or self-   igniting materials or any highly flammable solids. Peroxide may form when product is   exposed to light and air. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION   Adequate ventilation should be provided such that Derived No Effect Limits are not exceeded. Local Exhaust Ventilation is preferable to personal protection. Gloves made out of Butyl Rubber at least 0.5mm thick, goggles, protective overalls and chemically resistant safety shoes. An air purifying respirator should also be worn if local ventilation is insufficient. Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. DNEL Inhalation (mg / m³) Oral (mg/kg bw/day) Dermal (mg/kg bw/day) Chronic = Long Term Exposure Information provided by echa PNEC Hygiene Measures   Wash hands at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. Wash promptly if skin becomes wet. Remove any clothing that becomes wet or contaminated. Contaminated clothing should be placed in a closed container until disposal or decontamination. Warn cleaning personnel of contaminants hazardous properties. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY   Product is stable under normal storage conditions. Conditions to Avoid - Highly flammable. Concentrated vapours are heavier than air. Forms   explosive mixtures with air and in empty, uncleaned containers. May   produce strongly irritating chloric acetone, when being mixed with   chloridized hydrocarbons and exposed to light. Materials to Avoid - Acetone reacts in the presence of bases. Vapours form potentially   explosive mixtures with air. Vapours are Heavier than air, they proceed at   floor level and may backflash over great distances when ignited. May   become electrostatically charged. Incompatible products - Attacks many plastics and rubbers. On contact with barium hydroxide,   sodium hydroxide and many other alkaline materials condensation may   occur. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, alkalis and amines. Hazardous decomp products - Does not decompose under normal conditions. When combusted,   produces oxides of carbon and water vapour. 11.  TOXILOGICAL  INFORMATION   General - Large quantities ingested may lead to liver failure. Skin Contact - Prolonged or repeated contact causes irritation which may lead to   dermatitis. Eye Contact - May cause irritation to eyes. Inhalation - May cause drowsiness, dizziness and may produce a narcotic effect. Ingestion - May cause slurred speech, headache and lethargy. Ingesting large   quantites may lead to liver failure and death. Toxilogical information on ingredients 12.  ECOLOGICAL  INFORMATION   Polybond Acetone is not considered to be dangerous to the environment or toxic to fish. Ecological information on ingredients (Acute Toxicity) Persistence and degradability   Acetone is mineralized to methane and carbon dioxide in landfill refuse. When rainfall was simulated, acetone was found in the leachate. Radiolabeled trace residues were found in the humin fraction. Nature of the binding is unknown.
