ETHYLAMINE

CAS: 75-04-7

Fraction By Weight: 100.0%

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
irritation (possibly severe), difficulty breathing, lung congestion
LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
SKIN CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation (possibly severe),
frostbite LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short
term exposure EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation
(possibly severe), blurred vision LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as
effects reported in short term exposure INGESTION: SHORT TERM
EXPOSURE: burns LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in
short term exposure
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical
attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. EYE CONTACT: Immediately
flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get
immediate medical attention. INGESTION: Contact local poison
control center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious
person vomit or drink fluids. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower
than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious,
turn head to side. Get medical attention. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For
inhalation, consider oxygen.

Flash Point:<0 F (<-18 C)
Autoignition Temp:721 F (383 C)
Lower Limits:3.5%
Upper Limits:14%
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
regular foam, alcohol resistant foam Large fires: Use regular foam
or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Water may be
ineffective.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier
than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources
and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive.

Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible
without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small
spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect
spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large
spills: Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Notify
Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response
Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA
Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under
CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at
(800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA).
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Protect from physical
damage. Store outside or in a detached building. Keep separated
from incompatible substances. Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other
sources of ignition. Store with flammable liquids. Keep separated
from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. 250 ppm Any
supplied-air respirator. Any powered, air-purifying respirator with
cartridge(s) providing protection against this substance. 500 ppm
Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and
cartridge(s) providing protection against this substance. Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and a canister
providing protection against this substance. Any self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece. Any supplied-air
respirator with a full facepiece. 600 ppm Any supplied-air
respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a
pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Escape - Any
air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and a canister
providing protection against this substance. Any appropriate
escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown
Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any
supplied-air respirator with full facepiece and operated in a
pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with
a separate escape supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus
with a full facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation
equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations
of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure
limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles with a faceshield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in
the immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
