Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, monitor for irritation symptoms, obtain medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical advice if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately and thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, consult a physician if redness or pain persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek prompt medical advice especially if larger amounts are swallowed
Notes for Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor for respiratory or allergic effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water spray for larger fires
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water jets which could spread the product
Special Hazards: Incomplete combustion may release carbon monoxide and other irritating fumes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Further Advice: Use spray to cool containers exposed to flames, evacuate personnel not involved in emergency response
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, wear gloves and safety goggles, avoid skin and eye contact, control sources of ignition
Spill Cleanup: Absorb with sand or inert absorbent, collect in adequately labeled containers, dispose as per local regulations
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to waterways and sewers, inform relevant authorities in case of substantial release
Methods for Containment: Dike area to prevent spread, use non-sparking tools when handling larger spills
Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated locations, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, prevent contact with eyes, avoid prolonged skin exposure, prevent generation of mist
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas, keep away from heat and open flame, use tightly sealed containers
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases
Further Information: Maintain good housekeeping practices to prevent slip hazards and secondary contamination
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established legal exposure limits for product; follow general workplace standards for oils and organic esters
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended for handling large volumes, emergency showers and eyewash stations
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, safety glasses or splash goggles, lab coat or protective clothing, use of an NIOSH-approved mask if mist forms
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after handling, clean work clothing daily, dispose of or launder contaminated clothing promptly
Physical State: Oily liquid
Color: Clear to pale yellow
Odor: Mild ester-like, fatty
Melting Point: <-20°C (substantially below room temperature)
Boiling Point: Approximately 320°C
Flash Point: >180°C (closed cup)
Vapor Pressure: Very low at 20°C, negligible inhalation hazard at room temperature
Solubility in Water: Nearly insoluble
Density: About 0.93 g/cm3 at 25°C
Viscosity: Medium, flowable oil at room temperature
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): High, strongly lipophilic due to ester structure
Auto-ignition Temperature: >350°C
Decomposition Temperature: Begins to degrade above 250°C, forms irritating fumes
Refractive Index: 1.44-1.46 at 20°C
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage conditions, no vigorous polymerization
Reactivity: Low potential for dangerous reactions, will hydrolyze slowly in acidic or basic conditions
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases, incompatible with materials susceptible to ester hydrolysis
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, minor organic acids with thermal breakdown
Conditions to Avoid: Open flames, extremely high temperatures, long-term exposure to direct sunlight
Acute Toxicity (Oral, Dermal, Inhalation): Low toxicity in animal studies, LD50 (oral, rat) > 5000 mg/kg, unlikely to cause serious effects from short-term exposure
Skin Irritation: Mild transient irritation possible, no lasting skin damage observed in studies
Eye Irritation: Slight redness possible, not considered a serious irritant
Respiratory Effects: No data showing toxicity from normal inhalation exposure at room temperature
Chronic Effects: Not known to cause sensitization, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity
Other Health Effects: Prolonged or repeated skin exposure may lead to dryness or cracking
Aquatic Toxicity: Limited data available; expected to show moderate toxicity to aquatic organisms based on structural analogues
Persistence: Readily biodegradable under natural conditions, breaks down through standard microbial action
Bioaccumulation Potential: Likely to partition into sediments and biota due to high log Kow, persistence low due to biodegradation
Soil Mobility: Low, product binds strongly to soil organic matter, insoluble in water
Other Harmful Effects: Large spills could cause local environmental harm, particularly to aquatic ecosystems
Disposal Methods: Dispose of as non-hazardous organic chemical waste, handle through approved incineration or chemical waste contractor
Container Disposal: Triple rinse empty containers, puncture and send to chemical drum recycler where possible
Unsuitable Disposal: Do not discharge into drains, surface water or soil
