Composition / Information on ingredients Chemical characterisation: C8 H10 = C6H5-C2H5 Ethylbenzene CAS-Number: 100-41-4 printed by INEOS Styrolution America LLC with Qualisys SUMDAT Revision date: 8/2/2019 SAFETY DATA SHEET Version: 11 according to WHMIS 2015 and ANSI Z400.1-2010 Language: en-CA,US Date of print: 30/12/2020 Ethylbenzene Material number ETB001 Page: 3 of 14 RTECS-Number: DA0700000 4. First aid measures General information: First aider: Pay attention to self-protection! If victim is at risk of losing consciousness, position and transport on their side. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. In case of inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention. In case of breathing difficulties administer oxygen. In case of irregular breathing or respiratory arrest provide artificial respiration. Following skin contact: After contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and plenty of water. Seek medical attention. After eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes holding eyelids apart. Subsequently consult an ophthalmologist. After swallowing: Rinse mouth and drink large quantities of water. Do not induce vomiting. Danger of aspiration! Immediately get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed High concentrations of vapors irritate the eyes and mucous membranes. Systemic effects: CNS disorders with fatigue and headache. Information to physician Due to risk of aspiration gastric lavage may only be applied under endotracheal intubation. 5. Fire fighting measures Flash point/flash point range: < 23 °C (EU A.9/1013 hPa) Auto-ignition temperature: No data available Suitable extinguishing media: Water spray jet, extinguishing powder, foam, carbon dioxide. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: Full water jet. Specific hazards arising from the chemical Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Development of explosive gas/vapor. The accumulation in lowlying or closed rooms can cause increased danger of fire and explosion. Exposure to fire may cause containers to rupture/explode. Hazardous decomposition products Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. full protection suit. Additional information: DO NOT FIGHT FIRE WHEN FIRE REACHES THE MATERIAL. Leave the area of fire and let the fire burn out. Seal off endangered area. Remove persons to safety. Cool exposed containers with water spray. Do not allow water used to extinguish fire to enter drains, ground or waterways. printed by INEOS Styrolution America LLC with Qualisys SUMDAT Revision date: 8/2/2019 SAFETY DATA SHEET Version: 11 according to WHMIS 2015 and ANSI Z400.1-2010 Language: en-CA,US Date of print: 30/12/2020 Ethylbenzene Material number ETB001 Page: 4 of 14 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Remove persons to safety. Keep unprotected people away. Wear appropriate protective equipment. Avoid contact with the substance. Provide adequate ventilation. In case of spills of large quantities: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Full protection suit, boots, Goggles, protective gloves. Environmental precautions: Do not empty into drains. Danger of explosion! Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Methods for clean-up: Absorb with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding agents) and place in closed containers for disposal. In case of spills of large quantities: Dam spills. Contact expert. Absorb residues with appropriate material, and dispose of according to regulations. Additional information: Use only antistatically equipped (spark-free) tools. 7. Handling and storage Handling Advices on safe handling: Provide adequate ventilation, and local exhaust as needed. Handle and open container with care. Use local exhaust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not breathe vapors. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. Precautions against fire and explosion: Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use grounding equipment. Use only explosion-proof equipment. The accumulation in lowlying or closed rooms can cause increased danger of fire and explosion. Storage Requirements for storerooms and containers: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Unsuitable materials: May attack plastics.
