Inhalation: Move outdoors or to a well-ventilated area, seek medical advice if symptoms develop.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, consult a physician if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes lifting eyelids occasionally, obtain medical attention if irritation continues.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention for persistent effects.
Most Important Symptoms: Mild skin and eye irritation, upset stomach if ingested.
Indication to Physician: Treat symptoms, no specific antidote
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide to extinguish flames; water spray may be used for cooling.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Use caution with high-pressure water jet as this may spread the burning material.
Specific Hazards: On decomposition, releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly acrid smoke.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
Advice for Firefighters: Keep surrounding containers cool with water spray; control run-off water.
Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and organic vapors
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, goggles, and mask if particles or fumes are present.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent large quantities from entering drains, waterways, or soil; alert environmental authorities if release threatens local environment.
Cleanup: Absorb spills with sand, earth, or inert material; remove mechanically and place in labeled containers for disposal; wash area with water if allowed under local regulations; ventilate area.
Methods for Containment: Contain spilled material with dikes or absorbents for collection and disposal.
Reference to Other Sections: See Exposure Controls and Disposal Considerations
Handling: Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin and eyes; maintain good industrial hygiene; wear suitable protective equipment.
Technical Measures: Handle in a well-ventilated area; minimize dust or mist generation.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, away from heat, sparks, open flame, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
Specific End Use(s): Used in chemical manufacturing, laboratory applications, and consumer products with attention to local regulations.
Incompatible Materials: Keep away from strong acids and alkalis, and oxidizers
Packaging Materials: Store in containers composed of stainless steel, HDPE, or other chemical-resistant material
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits established for erucic acid by OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH
