TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Flammable.	NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.	Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Above 58°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	Above 58°C use a closed system, ventilation.	In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

EXPOSURE
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin	Dry skin. Redness.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Safety spectacles.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion	Drowsiness. Unconsciousness. (Further see Inhalation).	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Rest. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place.	UN Hazard Class: 3 UN Pack Group: III

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE
Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-30S2243 or 30GF1-III NFPA Code: H1; F2; R0	Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.

Chemical dangers
Reacts with strong oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure at high level, if ingested, could cause lowering of consciousness.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The liquid defats the skin.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: 177°C Melting point: -77°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.97 Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, kPa at 30°C: 0.93 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.9 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.08 Flash point: 58°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 334°C

NOTES

Environmental effects from the substance have not been investigated adequately.
Cyclohexylacetate is more narcotic and more lethal to animals at lower concentrations than other acetates but beeing of lower volatility, it is less hazardous from the industrial point of view.
The relation between odour and the occupational exposure limit cannot be indicated.
Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See section Emergency Response.
