PIPERIDINE

CAS: 110-89-4

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)
LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: irritation (possibly severe) LONG
TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: burns, sore throat, difficulty
breathing, convulsions 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: If swallowed, drink plenty
of water, do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: For inhalation, consider oxygen. For
ingestion, consider gastric lavage.

Flash Point:61 F (16 C) (CC)
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. Do not get water inside container. 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). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of
material can be stopped first. Flood with fine water spray. Do not
scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Cool
containers with water spray until well after the fire is 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. Water may be ineffective.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. Moderate explosion
hazard. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive above flash point. The
vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant
ignition sources and flash back.

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. Do not get
water inside container. 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. Notify State Emergency
Response Commission for storage or use at amounts greater than or
equal to the TPQ (U.S. EPA SARA Section 302). SARA Section 303
requires facilities storing a material with a TPQ to participate in
local emergency response planning (U.S. EPA 40 CFR 355.30).
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. Any supplied-air respirator with a
full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that
has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. 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 or process enclosure 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:Protective clothing is not required.
