Chemical Family: Substituted straight chain and aromatic organics in an
alkane Chemical Synonyms: Hexane is also known as n-Hexane; Hexyl hydride;
and normal Hexane
Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Flammable Liquid. Irritant. Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed
through the skin. Neurotoxin.
Section 4 - First-Aid Measures
Inhalation: Symptoms of exposure may include light-headedness; headache;
nausea; numbness in the extremities; muscle weakness and irritation to mucous
membranes. If large amounts are inhaled, remove the victim to fresh air. If
breathing is difficult give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, administer
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Keep the affected person warm and at rest.
Contact physician. Skin Contact: Skin irritant. May cause dermatitis. In
case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of
water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing promptly. Eye Contact: Vapor
or mist is irritating to the eyes. Contamination of the eyes should be
treated by immediate and prolonged irrigation with copious amounts of water
by separating the eyelids with fingers. Contact Physician. Ingestion: If
swallowed, get medical attention immediately.

preparation and is issued as a matter of information only, no warranty as to its
accuracy or completeness is expressed or implied.
Agilent Part No: 200-0200
Section 5 - Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, water spray, or
standard foam. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective
clothing and self contained positive pressure breathing apparatus certified
by NIOSH when fighting chemically related fires. Unusual Fire and Explosion
Hazards: Volatile and highly flammable. Vapor may travel considerable
distance to source of ignition and flash back. Container explosion may occur
under fire conditions.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Shut off all sources of ignition. Use noncombustible absorbent to absorb the
spill. Due to the small quantity involved, a leaking ampoule may be placed
in a plastic bag containing absorbent and disposed of as hazardous waste
according to local regulations. Used absorbent should be disposed of in a
similar manner. See Section 15. Personal protective equipment should be worn
during remediation of accidental releases according to the nature and
quantity of the material involved. See Section 8 for a description of
recommended personal protective equipment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Do not breathe vapor and avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash
thoroughly after handling. Store in a cool dry place. Keep away from
oxidizing agents. Proper storage must be determined based on other materials
stored and their hazards and potential chemical incompatibility. Store in an
acceptable protected and secure liquid flammable storage cabinet or room.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is required to protect personnel from
exposure to chemical vapors exceeding PEL and to minimize fire hazards. See
Section 15 for regulatory standards of exposure. Respiratory: Use NIOSH
approved respirator equipment depending on conditions of use. Eyes: Safety
glasses are considered minimum protection. Chemical safety goggles or face
shield may be necessary depending on quantity of material and conditions of
use. Emergency eye wash fountains should be available in the vicinity of any
possible exposure. Skin: Chemical-resistant protective gloves and clothing
are recommended. The choice of protective gloves or clothing must be based on
chemical resistance and other user requirements. Generally BUNA-N offers
acceptable chemical resistance. Individuals who are acutely and specifically
sensitive to this chemical may require additional protective clothing.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes. Harmful if
swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Health Hazard
Acute/Chronic: Acute exposure to n-hexane can cause upper respiratory tract
irritation and CNS depression. It is a skin irritant and defatting agent.
Chronic exposure to an average air concentration of 450-650 ppm for as little
as 2 months may result in peripheral neuropathy characterized by muscular
weakness, loss of sensation and impaired gait. Carcinogenicity: NTP? No
IARC Monographs? No OSHA Regulated? No OTHER? No
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Preclude from exposure
those individuals with diseases of the eyes and skin.
Section 12 - Ecological Information
Persistence/Degradability: n-Hexane has an atmospheric half-life of 2.7-2.9
days. Biodegradability: n-Hexane rapidly evaporates from environmental
waters. A variety of microorganisms degrade hexane by oxidation mechanisms.
Hexane is also utilized by various microorganisms. Bioaccumulation: Low to
slight soil mobility.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber.
Comply fully with all Federal, State, and local regulations.
