First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with cool water for at least 15 minutes, lift eyelids to ensure thorough washing, seek immediate medical attention for pain or vision changes
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and plenty of water, if irritation persists see a doctor
Inhalation: Move to fresh air promptly, keep comfortable, provide oxygen if breathing difficulty develops, call a medical professional if symptoms don’t improve
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting unless told by a doctor, never give anything by mouth to someone unconscious, call poison center or physician immediately

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid water jets or high-pressure streams directly on fire
Hazards from Fire: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air, combustion creates nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, and toxic fumes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus, flame-retardant clothing, gloves and boots
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers using water spray, prevent runoff from contaminating water sources

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, stop leak if safe, avoid breathing vapors, wear protective gloves, goggles, and mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage, avoid contamination of soil, drains, or watercourses
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material like earth or sand, place in properly labeled containers, ventilate area after cleanup, wash area with detergent and water, dispose of according to regulations

Handling and Storage

Handling: Wear suitable protective clothing, keep away from open flames and sparks, avoid skin/eye contact, use in a fume hood or ventilated area, do not eat, drink or smoke near product
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep tightly sealed in original container, store away from oxidizers, acids, ignition sources, segregate from food or incompatible materials
Specific Uses: Follow instructions for laboratory or industrial processes, do not transfer to unmarked containers

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Limits: Not established for 3,5-Dimethylpiperidine, use in accordance with available workplace exposure guidelines for similar organic amines
Engineering Controls: Use exhaust ventilation, fume hoods, splash guards
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles, face shield, flame-resistant lab coat, closed footwear
Respiratory Protection: If airborne levels exceed safe limits, use approved respirator
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, remove contaminated clothing, launder before reuse
