Section 3 - Hazards Identification

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
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.
