Eye Contact: Flush cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes, use eyelids to ensure thorough rinsing, obtain medical advice promptly
Ingestion: Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical advice
Acute Symptoms: Headache, dizziness, nausea, eye irritation, coughing
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Emits toxic fumes (carbon oxides, acetic acid) during combustion, vapor may travel to ignition source
Fire Fighting Instructions: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, use full protective gear, cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture
Special Information: Vapors heavier than air, remote ignition is possible, avoid inhaling combustion gases
Explosion Data: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, avoid inhaling fumes or contacting spilled material, use appropriate PPE (respirator, gloves, goggles)
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or waterways, alert authorities if contamination occurs
Methods for Containment: Dike area to prevent spread, absorb spilled liquid with inert material (sand, vermiculite), collect in containers for disposal
Cleaning Up: Wash spill site after material pickup is complete
Safe Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, avoid inhalation of vapors, handle only with adequate ventilation, use spark-proof equipment
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, keep away from heat, sparks, open flames
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizers
Storage Temperature: Store below 30°C for stability, protect from frost
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA/ACGIH exposure limits specific for EGDA, control exposure by general hygiene
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure, eyewash stations in work area
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, PVC), safety goggles, long-sleeved lab coat or apron, organic vapor respirator for high vapor concentrations
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before breaks, after use, at shift end, launder contaminated clothing before reuse
