EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless clear liquid. Flash Point: -40 deg C.
Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Causes
digestive and respiratory tract burns. Extremely flammable liquid
and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Reacts violently with water.
Pyrophoric. Spontaneously flammable in air. Harmful if inhaled.
Target Organs: Nervous system.
Potential Health Effects

Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
Chronic:
None
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.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before
reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and
drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately.
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. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. May re-ignite
after fire is extinguished. Containers may explode when heated or if
contaminated with water.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. Most foams will react with the
material and release corrosive/toxic gases. Cool containers with
flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. DO NOT
USE WATER OR FOAM. For small fires, use dry chemical, soda ash, lime
or sand.
Flash Point: -40 deg C ( -40.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.
Explosion Limits, Lower:N/A
Upper: N/A
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 4; 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. Use a
spark-proof tool. Do not get water on spilled substances or inside
containers.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and
inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Avoid mechanical shock
and friction. Discard contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize, cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to
heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage:
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Flammables-area. Keep containers tightly closed.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. Use process
enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls
to control airborne levels.

Environmental:
Photolysis or hydrolysis of n-hexane are not expected to be important
in soils. The biodegradation of n-hexane may occur in soils; however,
volatilization and adsorption are expected to be far more important
fate processes. A calculated Koc range for n-hexane of 1250 to 4100
indicates a low to slight soil mobility class. Based upon an
estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.81 atm-cu m/mole, n-hexane is
expected to rapidly volatilize from moist surface soils.
Physical:
Photolysis or hydrolysis of n-hexane in aquatic systems are not
expected to be important. The log biodegradation of n-hexane may
occur in aquatic environments; however, volatilization and
adsorption are expected to be far more important fate processes.
Other:
No information available.
