SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Fresh air, rest.
Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Rinse mouth. Rest.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Vapors and liquid are irritating to eyes, mucous membrane, and upper respiratory tract and can cause headache, narcosis and unconsciousness. Systemic effects can have a relatively long duration after exposure. Ingestion can be moderately to severely toxic. Liquid can cause defatting of skin and dermititis. (USCG, 1999)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
no data available
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water spray or mist.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Vapors may travel considerable distance to an ignition source and flash back. (USCG, 1999)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
no data available
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Moderate, when exposed to heat or flame.Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as DIISOPROPYLBENZENE (ALL ISOMERS), and strong oxidizing agents. Can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Can react with oxidizing materials.
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
