Classified as hazardous according to criteria of NOHSC
Acute - Inhaled Inhalation of high MEK vapour concentrations can cause eye and respiratory
tract irritation, headache, dizziness and other central nervous system
effects.
Chronic Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause irritation and may lead to
dermatitis.
Simultaneous exposure to MEK and n-hexane can potentiate the known
irreversible effects of n-hexane ie progessive and possibly irreversible
peripheral polyneuropathy. There is no evidence to indicate MEK alone will
cause these effects.
First Aid
Swallowed If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give patient a glass of water to
drink and seek medical advice. Do NOT give anything to drink to an
unconscious person.
Eye Immediately flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and footwear and wash before re-use. Wash
affected area with plenty of soap and water. If irritation occurs seek
medical attention.
Inhaled Remove patient from contaminated area. Apply artificial respiration if
necessary. Seek medical advice.
Advice to Doctor
Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically.
Other Health Hazard Information
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Exposure Limits No exposure standard is available for the material as such. Exposure
standards for the hazardous components are as follows (NOHSC-1995):
Methyl Ethyl Ketone: TWA: 150ppm (445mg/m3), STEL: 300ppm (890mg/m3),
Cyclohexanone: TWA: 25ppm (100mg/m3) - skin,
TWA is the time weighted average concentration of the work atmosphere over a
normal 8-hour work day and a 40-hour work week. Nearly all workers may be
repeatedly exposed to this level, day after day, without adverse effect.
A 'skin' notation indicates that this substance will also be readily
absorbed through the skin, which may be by airborne material or direct
contact. The TWA is obviously invalidated if such contact should occur.
These TWAs are issued as guidelines for good practice. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is practically possible.
These TWAs should not be used as fine lines between safe and dangerous
concentrations.
The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is the airborne concentration of a
substance averaged over a 15 minute period. These exposure limits are not
to be exceeded at any time during a normal eight hour working day.
Eng. Controls Use only with adequate ventilation. Ventilation should ensure exposure is
kept as low as practicable or at least below the recommended exposure
standards. If mechanical ventilation is required it must be suitable for
use with flammable material.
Personal Protection
Protective Equip. The following personal protective equipment is recommended:
Respiratory protection, such as organic vapour cartridge mask or air
supplied system, if ventilation inadequate or working in confined areas.
Solvent resistant gloves, such as neoprene rubber, should be worn in order
to avoid skin contact.
Safety goggles if risk of eye contact exists.
Flammability
Fire Hazards Highly flammable.
