minutes. Following this, protect the eyes with sterile gauze or a clean, dry, handkerchief. Seek
medical advise.
Do not use eyewash or ointment of any kind before obtaining an examination or advice from
an ophthalmologist.
Swallowing:
Do not under any circumstance induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately.
Inhalation:
Ventilate the premises. The patient is to be removed immediately from the premises
contaminated and made to rest in a well ventilated area. Should the patient feel unwell,
consult a physician.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Recommended extinguishers:
CO2, Foam, Chemical powders or sand. Use water based extinguishing media with caution.
Extinguishers not to be used:
None in particular.
Risks arising from combustion:
Avoid inhaling the fumes. Incomplete combustion releases toxic gases.
Protective equipment:
Use protection for the airways.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No toxicological data related to the preparation are available.
When available, the toxicological information relating to the main components are listed below.
3,6-diazaoctanethylenediamin
LD50 (oral): > 2.500 mg/kg (rat)
LD50 (dermal): > 500 mg/kg (rabbit)
Studies carried out by manufactures have observed that a particular ethyleneamine, DETA
(diethylenetriamine), has a very high acute toxicity by inhalation of aerosols. The NOEL (no
effect level) has been established at concentrations <0,07 mg/l (4 h). It can be assumed that
same effects are applicable to other ethyleneamines.
Even if the formation of aerosols is rare in industrial applications of ethyleneamines, it is
necessary to avoid inhalation by good ventilation and using masks to protect respiratory
system.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Adopt sound working practices, so that the product is not released into the environment.
When available, the toxicological information relating to the main components are listed below.

Not readily biodegradable.
Acute toxicity LC/EC/IC 50 = 20-600 mg/l.
