EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 25 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and
vapor. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or
cracking.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause
drying and cracking of the skin.
Human patch testing studies provided no evidence of skin
sensitization, phototoxicity, or photoallergy.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if
swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
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 or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. If irritation develo
ps, get medical aid.
Skin:
Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if
irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
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.
Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn
if involved in a fire. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Flammable liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Flash Point: 25 deg C ( 77.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 379 deg C ( 714.20 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1 Vol %
Upper: 7.5 Vol %
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. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Do not let this chemical enter the
environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place.
Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low.
