CAS#	Chemical Name	Percent	EINECS/ELINCS
123-92-2	Isoamyl acetate	>98	204-662-3

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: clear, colorless liquid. Flash Point: 25 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and vapor. Causes eye and respiratory tract irritation. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. May cause central nervous system effects.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, respiratory system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause defatting of the skin and dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause drying and cracking of the skin. Not expected to cause an allergic skin reaction. Human patch testing studies provided no evidence of skin sensitization, phototoxicity, or photoallergy.
Ingestion: Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. Prolonged exposure may result in dizziness and general weakness. Symptoms in humans following inhalation of pentyl acetate vapors (at unreported concentrations) include headache, fatigue, mucous membrane irritation, excessive salivation, tearing, nose and throat irritation, oppression in the chest, and occasional vague nervousness.
Chronic: Prolonged exposure may produce a narcotic effect.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin: In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective. For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam.
Flash Point: 25 deg C ( 77.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 360 deg C ( 680.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower: 1%
Upper: 7.5%
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool, dry place. Flammables-area.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
