Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Ingredient: D-alpha-tocopherol
Chemical Percentage: ≥95%
Other Components: Trace esters, minor tocopherols, inert carrier materials (only in compounded product)

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air, provide rest and warmth. If breathing problems develop, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and water. If irritation emerges, seek medical advice.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open. Seek medical attention for persistent discomfort.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water if conscious. Do not induce vomiting except as directed by medical staff.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Extinguishing Agents: Direct water jet
Specific Hazards: Emits acrid smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide on combustion
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighters
Firefighting Instructions: Avoid inhalation of smoke, cool containers near fire with water spray, contain runoff

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes; avoid inhalation of dust or vapors, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering waterways
Containment Methods: Surround spill with absorbent material (sand, earth), prevent spread
Cleanup Procedures: Collect spilled material with non-sparking tools, transfer to a sealed container for proper disposal, clean residue with water and detergent

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; minimize airborne dust; keep away from ignition sources
Storage: Store in original container, tightly closed, away from heat, light, and moisture; recommended storage temperature below 25°C; protect from oxidizing agents; keep away from food and drink

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No official threshold limit value, minimize exposure as good hygiene practice
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended where dust forms
Personal Protection: Gloves resistant to chemicals; safety goggles with side-shields; lab coat or suitable workwear; dust mask or respirator in case of insufficient ventilation
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas, remove contaminated clothing
