2-BUTENE

CAS: 107-01-7

Fraction By Weight: 100.0%

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No IARC:No OSHA:No
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:
If frostbite or freezing occur, immediately flush with plenty of
lukewarm water (105-115 F; 41-46 C). DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm
water is not available, gently wrap affected parts in blankets. Get
immediate medical attention. EYE CONTACT: Contact with liquid:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. INGESTION: If a
large amount is swallowed, get medical attention. NOTE TO
PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen.

Flash Point:<-29 F (<-34 C)
Autoignition Temp:595 F (313 C)
Lower Limits:1.7%
Upper Limits:9.3%
Extinguishing Media:carbon dioxide, regular dry chemical Large fires:
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. For fires
in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned
hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. If
this is impossible then take the following precautions: Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Let
the fire burn. 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: Stop leak if possible without
personal risk. Let burn unless leak can be stopped immediately. For
smaller tanks or cylinders, extinguish and isolate from other
flammables. Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Do not
attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped
first. Flood with fine water spray. Cool containers with water
spray until well after the fire i out. Apply water from a protected
location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or
combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
Evacuate if fire gets out of control or containers are directly
exposed to fire. Evacuation radius: 500 meters (1/3 mile). Consider
downwind evacuation if material is leaking. Stop flow of gas.
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. Electrostatic discharges may be generated by flow
or agitation resulting in ignition or explosion. Gas/air mixtures
are explosive. Containers may rupture or explode if exposed to
heat.

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. Keep
unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Remove
sources of ignition. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Avoid contact with
temperatures above 52 C. Do not puncture or burn containers, even
when empty. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a
well-ventilated area. Subject to storage regulations: U.S. OSHA 29
CFR 1910.101. Keep separated from incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
warning properties before use. 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:Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if
explosive concentrations of material are present. Provide local
exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ensure compliance
with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear insulated 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:For the gas: Protective clothing is not
required. For the liquid: Wear appropriate protective, cold
insulating clothing.
