Impurities: Minor process-related contaminants possible, typically below 0.1%
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Monitor for signs of dizziness, headache, or labored breathing. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water. Report persistent irritation to medical personnel.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Lift eyelids occasionally. Immediate medical attention if irritation continues.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek immediate medical advice.
Medical Notes: Monitor breathing and heart rate. Dichloromethane can sensitize to adrenaline, so avoid epinephrine if symptoms escalate.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, foam, carbon dioxide, do not use water jets
Fire Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Combustion releases toxic gases including phosgene, hydrogen chloride, and carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment: Full firefighter turnout gear and self-contained breathing apparatus needed
Special Hazards: Large fires produce dense toxic smoke, risk of pressure buildup in sealed containers
Additional: Evacuate area, use non-sparking tools, dike runoff to prevent environmental contamination
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid inhalation and contact. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and organic vapor respirator.
Spill Containment: Absorb liquid with inert material such as sand or vermiculite. Seal waste in labeled, sealed drums.
Cleanup Method: Use spark-proof equipment for collection and transfer. Dispose absorbents as hazardous chemical waste.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from reaching water sources, soil, or drains. Notify authorities for significant releases.
Decontamination: Wash contaminated area with detergent and large amounts of water.
Handling Conditions: Use strict chemical hygienic practices. Open containers in well-ventilated fume hoods. Avoid static discharge. Prohibit eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas.
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly sealed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated places. Segregate from oxidizers, acids, alkalis, and ignition sources.
Packaging: Use chemically compatible glass or HDPE bottles with screw caps. Avoid metal closures.
Protection: Label containers clearly with hazard and substance names. Maintain inventory logs, secure incompatible substances separately.
Fire Safety: Install fire-resistant storage cabinets and provide spill kits nearby.
Occupational Exposure Limits: Dichloromethane OSHA PEL: 25 ppm TWA, ACGIH TLV: 50 ppm TWA
Engineering Controls: Operate in fume hoods or ventilation systems with robust airflow, at or above laboratory safety standards.
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, chemical-resistant apron, splash-proof safety goggles, organic vapor cartridge respirators. Always remove and replace PPE if contaminated.
General Hygiene: Wash hands and arms thoroughly after handling. Change contaminated clothing immediately. Keep eyewash stations and emergency showers accessible.
Monitoring: Regularly sample air for solvent vapor concentrations in work zones.
Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Sharp, sweet, solvent-like
pH: Not applicable (non-aqueous organic mixture)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Estimated -97°C to -95°C (driven by dichloromethane content)
Boiling Point: Approx. 40°C (dichloromethane boils at 39.6°C)
Flash Point: Below ambient room temperature
Vapor Pressure: Elevated due to dichloromethane content
Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents, immiscible with water
Specific Gravity: Estimated 1.1-1.2
Viscosity: Moderate, slightly higher than pure dichloromethane
Partition Coefficient: Data not available for this specific blend
Chemical Stability: Stable at room temperature under recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: Reacts vigorously with strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, alkali metals
Hazardous Decomposition: Burning releases phosgene, hydrochloric acid, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Polymerization: Not expected under normal conditions
Incompatibility: Avoid acids, alkalis, oxidizers, ammonia, and reactive metals
Special Sensitivities: Avoid prolonged UV exposure, which may degrade dichloromethane and accelerate hazardous byproduct formation
Acute Toxicity: Harmful if inhaled; can depress central nervous system. Respiratory irritation and nausea at concentrations above 100 ppm for solvent blend. Skin contact leads to redness, defatting. Prolonged exposure raises risk for liver and kidney stress.
Chronic Toxicity: Dichloromethane classified as possible human carcinogen by IARC (Group 2B). Prolonged vapor exposure linked to neurological impacts and potential for liver damage.
Irritation/Corrosion: Causes moderate eye and skin irritation.
Sensitization: No evidence indicates allergic skin or respiratory reaction in most users.
Other Effects: Dizziness, drowsiness, delayed motor coordination, and rare cardiac sensitization.
Synergistic Effects: Risk higher if co-exposure to other organohalides or alcohols present.
Ecotoxicity: Dichloromethane is toxic to aquatic life, with LC50 (96 hours, fish) around 193 mg/L. Bioaccumulation potential low, but acute spillages harmful to fish and microorganisms.
Biodegradability: Moderate biodegradation in soil and surface water, but persistent under anaerobic conditions.
Soil Mobility: High, especially due to solvent volatility and migration in groundwater table.
Environmental Fate: Dichloromethane evaporates readily, posing inhalation hazards near spill sites.
Long-Term Impact: Chronic releases disrupt aquatic environments and threaten invertebrate populations.
Waste Generation: Treat all contaminated absorbent as hazardous waste. Residue from containers needs specialist management.
Disposal Methods: Incinerate in equipped chemical waste facilities. Must conform to regional hazardous waste codes (often D001, D040). Avoid landfill disposal.
Container Handling: Triple rinse, puncture, and clearly label before final disposal. Do not reuse containers.
Do Not: Discharge to sewer, soil, or waterways.
Consult: Local hazardous waste authorities for approved transport and disposal contractors.
