Health information of FARMIN DM2471:
Farmin DM2471 is an alkylamine which is classified as harmful if swallowed.
Information on other dimethylakyl amines suggests that FARMIN DM2471 will cause severe burns when in contact with the skin and serious eye damage if in contact with the eyes.
Consumer exposure is very unlikely as FARMIN DM2471 is manufactured and handled in industrial settings in closed systems (used as chemical intermediate).
Consumers will not come into contact with harmful levels of FARMIN DM2471 as use in consumer end-products is not foreseen.
Workers will not come into contact with FARMIN DM2471 as it is manufactured and handled in industrial settings in closed systems.
Moreover, the vapour pressure of FARMIN DM2471 is low and therefore the exposure via inhalation will be limited.
In case of unintended exposure during maintenance, sampling, testing, or other procedures workers should follow the recommended safety measures in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Environmental information about FARMIN DM2471:
FARMIN DM2471 is very toxic to aquatic organism and considered very hazardous to the aquatic environment.
FARMIN DM2471 is readily biodegradable, will not persist in the environment and has a low potential of bioaccumulation.
Adsorption potential of FARMIN DM2471 is high and it is likely to bind to soil and suspended particles.
The amount of FARMIN DM2471 released into the aquatic and terrestrial environment, however, is low indicating no risk for the aquatic and terrestrial environment.
FARMIN DM2471 is confirmed by an environmental exposure assessment showing that exposure can be minimised during all steps of manufacture and industrial use.
Human health of FARMIN DM2471:
FARMIN DM2471 is a raw material used in the production of amine oxide surfactants.
Additionally FARMIN DM2471 is used in the manufacture of benzalkonium salts to be used in biocide applications.
Therefore exposure will only occur in an industrial setting to workers.
Consumers will not be exposed to FARMIN DM2471.
Exposure of workers in manufacturing facilities is also considered very low because the process, storage and handling operations are under strictly controlled conditions.
FARMIN DM2471 is rigorously contained in a closed system by technical means during its whole life cycle.
FARMIN DM2471 is transported to another reactor or storage tank using closed transfer pipes.
Workers who might accidentally come in contact with the non-formulated, undiluted substance should follow the safety measures recommended in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Environment:
Manufacture of chemicals involving FARMIN DM2471 is a closed and automated process with no aqueous effluent and no gaseous emissions released to the environment.
During the industrial use of FARMIN DM2471 there is also a “No release” policy with all effluent being stored in special containers dedicated to incineration.
Risk management recommendations of FARMIN DM2471:
When using chemicals make sure that there is adequate ventilation.
Always use appropriate chemical resistant gloves to protect your hands and skin and always wear eye protection.
FARMIN DM2471 is corrosive to the skin and causes serious eye damage so alkali-resistant gloves and safety goggles or face shield should be worn.
Appropriate clothing should be worn also.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke where chemicals are handled, processed, or stored.
If this material gets on clothing take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
If you have inhaled FARMIN DM2471, move to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing.
If swallowed FARMIN DM2471, seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
Do not induce vomiting.
If FARMIN DM2471 gets into your eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing.
If FARMIN DM2471 gets on your skin, wash the skin with 2% acetic acid and plenty of water until slimy feeling disappears.
Seek medical attention immediately.
