Impurities: Contains minor contaminants from manufacture below reporting thresholds, not expected to significantly contribute to health risk based on current manufacturing standards.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep victim warm and at rest, seek medical attention if symptoms persist (such as coughing, throat irritation, or dizziness)
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, lifting eyelid occasionally, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes, seek medical advice if irritation remains
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical advice if rash or irritation develops
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth, offer water to drink, get immediate medical attention if feeling unwell or for large accidental ingestion
Most Important Symptoms: Redness, irritation, dryness of skin, irritation of eyes and throat
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide for small fires, water spray or fog for large fires, avoid direct water jets since product may float
Specific Hazards: Product can release toxic fumes such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in a fire, combustion generates acrid smoke
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes
Special Procedures: Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering waterways; if deemed safe, remove containers from fire area to minimize risk.
Personal Protection: Use appropriate protective equipment, avoid breathing vapors or mist, provide sufficient ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so, do not allow product to reach drains or surface water
Containment: Absorb with inert material such as sand, earth, or vermiculite, transfer to suitable containers for disposal
Cleanup Methods: Clean contaminated area with detergent, avoid direct contact, use nonsparking tools
Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with local/national regulations as described in disposal section.
Safe Handling: Handle using safe hygiene practices, avoid direct contact with eyes and skin, avoid inhalation of mist or spray, do not eat or drink in work area
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protect from heat and incompatible materials, keep container tightly closed
Incompatibilities: Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids which can cause hazardous reactions
Other Precautions: Store in original containers labeled in compliance with applicable laws, keep away from foodstuffs and sources of ignition.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established exposure limits for dibutyl adipate
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits, if generated
Respiratory Protection: Not required under normal circumstances, use approved respirator if vapor or mist may occur
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or chemical splash glasses recommended
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, long-sleeved clothing as best practice
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before eating, smoking, or using the restroom, remove and clean contaminated clothing before reuse
