Fire fighting

Suitable extinguishing media : Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or appropriate foam.

Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Special protective equipment for 

firefighters

: Wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus and full 

protective clothing when fighting fires involving chemicals. Use 

water spray to cool containers exposed to fire.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions : Avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes. A self-contained 

breathing apparatus is recommended in case of a major spill.

Environmental precautions : Keep away from drains, surface- and groundwater and soil.

Methods for containment / 

Methods for cleaning up

: Clean up spillage promptly. Remove ignition sources. Provide 

adequate ventilation. Avoid excessive inhalation of vapours. Gross 

spillages should be contained by use of sand or inert powder and 

disposed of according to the local regulations.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling : Avoid excessive inhalation of concentrated vapors. Follow good 

manufacturing practices for housekeeping and personal hygiene. 

Wash any exposed skin immediately after any chemical contact, 

before breaks and meals, and at the end of each work period. 

Contaminated clothing and shoes should be thoroughly cleaned 

before re-use.

If appropriate, procedures used during the handling of this material 

should also be used when cleaning equipment or removing residual 

chemicals from tanks or other containers, especially when steam or 

hot water is used, as this may increase vapor concentrations in the 

workplace air. Where chemicals are openly handled, access should be 

restricted to properly trained employees.

Keep all heated processes at the lowest necessary temperature in 

order to minimize emissions of volatile chemicals into the air.

Advice on protection against fire 

and explosion

: Keep away from ignition sources and naked flame.

Requirements for storage areas and 

containers

: Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from heat sources. Keep 

containers upright and tightly closed when not in use.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Components with workplace control parameters

Engineering measures

Engineering measures : Where feasible, isolate mixing rooms and other areas where this 

material is used or openly handled. Maintain these areas under 

negative air pressure relative to the rest of the plant.

Where feasible, use closed systems to transfer and process this 

material

Personal protective equipment

Eye protection : Use tight-fitting goggles, face shield or safety glasses with side 

shields if eye contact might occur.

Hand protection : Avoid skin contact. Use chemically resistant gloves.

Respiratory protection : Use local exhaust ventilation around open tanks and other open 

sources of potential exposures in order to avoid excessive inhalation, 

including places where this material is openly weighed or measured. 

In addition, use general dilution ventilation of the work area to 

eliminate or reduce possible worker exposures.

No respiratory protection is required during normal operations in a 

workplace where engineering controls such as adequate ventilation, 

etc. are sufficient.

If engineering controls and safe work practices are not sufficient, an 

approved, properly fitted respirator with organic vapor cartridges or 

canisters and particulate filters should be used:

a)while engineering controls and appropriate safe work practices 

and/or procedures are being implemented; or

b)during short term maintenance procedures when engineering 

controls are not in normal operation or are not sufficient; or

c)if normal operational workplace vapor concentration in the air is 

increased due to heat ;

d)during emergencies; or

e)if engineering controls and operational practices are not sufficient 

to reduce airborne concentrations below an established occupational 

exposure limit.

Hygiene measures : To the extent deemed appropriate, implement pre-placement and 

regularly scheduled ascertainment of symptoms and spirometry 

testing of lung function for workers who are regularly exposed to 

this material.

To the extent deemed appropriate, use an experienced air sampling 

expert to identify and measure volatile chemicals that could be 

present in the workplace air to determine potential exposures and to 

ensure the continuing effectiveness of engineering controls and 

operational practices to minimize exposure.

Protective measures : In December 2003, the National Institute for Occupational Safety

and Health ("NIOSH") published an Alert on preventing lung 

disease in workers who use or make flavorings [NIOSH Publication 

Number 2004-110].

In August 2004, the United States Flavor and Extract Manufacturers 

Association (FEMA) issued a report entitled "Respiratory Safety in 

the Flavor Manufacturing Workplace".

Both of these reports provide recommendations for reducing 

employee exposure and for medical surveillance in the workplace. 

The recommendations in these reports are generally applicable to the 

use of any chemical in the workplace and you are strongly urged to 

review both of these reports.

The report published by FEMA also contains a list of "high priority" 

chemicals. If any of these chemicals are present in this product at a 

concentration >= 1.0% due to an intentional addition by IFF, the 

chemical(s) will be identified in this safety data sheet.
