Hazard Overview

Health hazards: Phenol has a strong corrosive effect on the skin and mucous membranes, which can inhibit the central nervous system or damage liver and kidney function. Acute poisoning: Inhaling high concentrations of vapor can cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, pulmonary edema, etc. Accidental ingestion can cause gastrointestinal burns, resulting in burning pain, exhaled breath with a phenolic odor, vomit or stool with blood, and there is a possibility of gastrointestinal perforation. Shock, pulmonary edema, liver or kidney damage may occur, acute renal failure may occur, and death from respiratory failure may occur. Eye contact can cause burns. It can cause acute renal failure after a certain latent period of absorption through burned skin. Chronic poisoning: can cause headaches, dizziness, coughing, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, proteinuria. May cause dermatitis.

Environmental hazards: pose serious threats to the environment and can cause pollution to water bodies and the atmosphere.

Explosive hazard: This product is flammable, highly toxic, highly corrosive, and can cause burns to the human body.

Emergency measures

Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing, wipe with glycerin, polyethylene glycol, or a mixture of polyethylene glycol and alcohol (7:3), and then thoroughly rinse with water. Or rinse with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Eye contact: Immediately lift the eyelids and thoroughly rinse with plenty of flowing water or saline solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene and move to a place with fresh air. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing stops, immediately perform artificial respiration. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion: Immediately drink 15-30mL of vegetable oil. Induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.

Fire protection measures

Dangerous characteristics: Flammable in the presence of open flames and high heat.

Harmful combustion products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.

Fire extinguishing method: Firefighters must wear gas masks and full body firefighting suits, and extinguish the fire in the upwind direction. Extinguishing agent: water, insoluble foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide.

Emergency response to leakage

Isolate the contaminated area and restrict access. Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency responders wear dust masks (full face shields) and gas protective clothing. Minor leakage: Cover with dry lime and soda ash. Massive leakage: Collect and recycle or transport to waste disposal sites for disposal.

Handling and Storage

Operation precautions: Closed operation, provide sufficient local exhaust. Take isolation measures as much as possible. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter dust masks, chemical safety goggles, gas permeable protective clothing, and chemical resistant gloves. Keep away from sources of fire and heat, and smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Avoid generating dust. Avoid contact with oxidants, acids, and bases. Handle with care during transportation to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Equip with corresponding types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and emergency response equipment for leaks. Empty containers may contain residual harmful substances..

Storage precautions: Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sources of fire and heat. Avoid exposure to light. The storage temperature shall not exceed 30 ℃, and the relative humidity shall not exceed 70%. Sealed packaging. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, bases, and edible chemicals, and avoid mixing storage. Equip with corresponding types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaked materials. The "five double" management system for extremely toxic substances should be strictly implemented.

Contact control and individual protection

Exposure limit: China: 5 mg/m3 [skin] Former Soviet Union: not established

Engineering control: Strictly seal and provide sufficient local ventilation. Take isolation measures as much as possible. Provide safety shower and eye wash equipment.

Respiratory protection: Wear a self-priming filter dust mask when exposed to dust. During emergency rescue or evacuation, self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn.

Eye protection: Wear chemical safety goggles. Body protection: Penetrating gas type anti-virus clothing Hand protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves Other protection: Smoking, eating, and drinking are prohibited on the work site. Work completed, thoroughly cleaned. Store clothes contaminated with toxic substances separately and wash them for later use. Implement pre employment and regular medical examinations.

Transportation information

Packaging method: Small opening steel drum; Screw mouth glass bottles, iron cap pressed mouth glass bottles, plastic bottles, or ordinary wooden boxes outside metal drums (cans); Threaded glass bottles, plastic bottles, or tin plated steel drums (cans) are filled with bottom plate flower boxes, fiberboard boxes, or plywood boxes.

Transportation precautions: During railway transportation, the dangerous goods loading table in the "Dangerous Goods Transport Rules" of the Ministry of Railways should be strictly followed for loading. Before transportation, the packaging container should be checked for completeness and sealing. During transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or damage. It is strictly prohibited to mix with acids, oxidants, food, and food additives during transportation. During transportation, it should be protected from direct sunlight, rain, and high temperatures.
