4. FIRST AID MEASURES
General advice:
Inhalation:
Skin contact:
Eye contact:
Ingestion:
Administer:
Ensure self protection. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of vapors. Keep patient warm. In
case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Apply artificial respiration only if patient is
not breathing or under medical supervision. No artificial aspiration mouth to mouth or
mouth to nose. Use suitable instruments/apparatus.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water. Obtain
medical attention. If signs of poisoning appear, treat as for inhalation. Wash
contaminated clothing before reuse.
If the substance has got into the eyes, immediately wash out with plenty of water at
least 15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Keep patient warm. In case of shortness of
breath, give oxygen. Apply artificial respiration only of patient is mouth to mouth or
mouth to nose. Use suitable instruments/apparatus. Obtain medical attention.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Activate charcoal (20 – 40 g in 10% slurry). Risk of aspiration. Immediately call in
physician.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media:
In adaption to materials stored in the immediate neighborhood.
Special risks:
Non-combustible. Vapors heavier than air. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapors.
The following may develop in event of fire: Hydrochloric acid, phosgene, chlorine.
Special protective equipment for fire fighters:
Do not stay in dangerous zone without self-contained breathing apparatus. In order to avoid contact with
skin. Keep a safety distance and wear suitable protective clothing.
Specific methods:
Contain escaping vapors with water. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering surface water or ground water.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions:
Environmental precautions:
Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist.
Remove all sources of ignition. Wear a positive-pressure supplied-air
respirator, flame retardant antistatic protective clothing. Shut off leaks if
without risk. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Contain or absorb leaking liquid with sand or earth, consults an expert.
Prevent liquid entering sewers, basements and workpits. If substance
has entered a water course or sewer or contaminated soil or vegetation,
advise police.

PRODUCT NAME:
Methods for cleaning up:
CHLOROFORM
Spillage: May react with combustible substances creating fire or
explosion hazard and formation of toxic fumes. Take necessary action
to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of
organic vapors). Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica
gel). Prevent liquid entering sewers, basements and workpits; vapor may
create explosive atmosphere. Transfer to covered steel drums. Dispose
of promptly.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Storage:
Keep container tightly closed. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity
discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapors). Use only in area provided with
appropriate exhaust ventilation. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. Do not empty into drains.
Keep tightly closed at room temperature in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep
away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from
incompatible material. Store in original container. Electrical equipment should be
protected to the appropriate standard.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
National occupational exposure limits:
OEL 2 ppm (10 mg/m3)
Engineering measures to reduce exposure:
The product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have
been excluded. Ventilation hoods and fans required when working with organic solvents or in hot melt
applications.
Personal protection equipment:
- Respiratory protection:
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment. Required when vapor/aerosols are generated. Filter AX
(EN 371).
- Hand protection:
Handle with gloves. In case full contact wear gloves from viton
material, in splash contact wear gloves from butyl rubber material.
The select protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU
Directive 89/689 EEC and standard EN 374 derived from it.
- Eye protection:
Goggles giving complete protection to eyes.
- Skin and body protection:
Chemical resistant apron / flame retardant antistatic
protective clothing, heavy duty work shoes.
Hygiene measures:
Ventilation hoods and fans required when working with organic solvents or in hot melt applications.
Keep working clothes separately. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.

13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Products: There are no uniform EC Regulations for the disposal of chemicals or residues. Chemical
residues generally count as special waste. The disposal of the latter is regulated in the EC
member countries through corresponding law and regulations. We recommend that you
contact either the authorities in charge or approved waste disposal companies which will
advise you on how to dispose of special waste or burn in a chemical incinerator equipped
with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly
flammable. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
Packaging: Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging as
hazardous waste in the same way of the substance itself. If not officially specified differently,
non-contaminated packaging may be treated like household waste or recycled.
