Potential Health Effects
----------------------------------
Inhalation:
Vapors can be irritating. Can cause nausea and tremors. High concentrations can have a narcotic effect.
Ingestion:
Ingestion causes vomiting and gagging. Large doses may cause nervous depression without convulsions.
Skin Contact:
Can defat tissues similar to gasoline. Can cause mild irritation.
Eye Contact:
Vapors can irritate the eyes. Splashes can cause severe irritation and pain.
Chronic Exposure:
Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis. Based on animal studies, may cause liver, kidney and
vascular injury.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:
Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems, or impaired liver, kidney or respiratory function may be
more susceptible to the effects of the substance.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a
physician.
Ingestion:
Give large amounts of water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
attention.
Skin Contact:
Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap or mild detergent and water for at least 15 minutes. Get
medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally.
Get medical attention immediately. Do not use oily drops or ointment.
Note to Physician:
Monitor respiratory status, airway, kidney, liver, and cardiac function. Diagnostic test: Cyclohexanol in urine.
Treat supportively.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire:
Flash point: 63C (145F) CC
Autoignition temperature: 300C (572F)
Combustible. Fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
Explosion:

CYCLOHEXANOL
Above the flash point, explosive vapor-air mixtures may be formed.
Fire Extinguishing Media:
Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed
containers cool.
Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with
full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as
specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain
and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate
container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste
container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer!
J. T. Baker SOLUSORB(R) solvent adsorbent is recommended for spills of this product.
7. Handling and Storage
Protect against physical damage. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in a standard
flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. Separate from oxidizing materials. Storage and use areas should be No
Smoking areas. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits:
-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
50 ppm (TWA)
-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
50 ppm (TWA) skin
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne
Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the
contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH
document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face organic vapor respirator may be worn for up to ten times the
exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece organic vapor respirator may be worn up to 50 times the exposure
limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in
oxygen-deficient atmospheres. This compound possibly exists in both particulate and vapor phase. A dust/mist
prefilter should be used for the particulate.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to
prevent skin contact.
