n-Nonane 2,2,5-Trimethylhexane

CAS #: 111-84-2

UN #: 1920

EC Number: 203-913-4

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Flammable. Above 31°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 31°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding).	Use foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Drowsiness. Dizziness. Ataxia Convulsions. Unconsciousness.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Dry skin. Redness.	Protective gloves.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention if skin irritation occurs.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion	Nausea. Vomiting. Aspiration hazard! Further see Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Ventilation. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	According to UN GHS Criteria DANGER Flammable liquid and vapour Harmful if inhaled May cause drowsiness or dizziness May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure to the vapour could cause lowering of consciousness. If swallowed the substance easily enters the airways and could result in aspiration pneumonitis.	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; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking.
