| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Inhalation of n-butanol vapor may cause coughing, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness and severely irritate the eyes. Mutagenic effects: butanol; mutagen. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Inhalation, ingestion, contact with skin and eyes. |
| Eye Contact: | If liquid contacts the eye, irritating solid zirconium oxide powder may form. N-butanol vapor may cause severe eye irritation. |
| Skin Contact: | Dehydrating agent. Liquid causes mild irritation of the skin. |
| Inhalation: | Harmful by inhalation. May cause coughing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, weakness and drowsiness. |
| Ingestion: | Harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea, vomiting and headache. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Zirconium oxide hydrolysis product exhibits low toxicity. n-Butanol causes severe eye irritation, drowsiness, and gastrointestinal distress. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | No data is available for this product. n-butanol: reproductive effects have been observed in animal studies. n-butanol: mutagenic effects. |
| NTP: | No |
| IARC: | No |
| OSHA: | No |
| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). |
| SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures | |
|---|---|
| Flash Point: | 101 °F |
| Autoignition Temperature: | 649°F (n-butanol) |
| Explosion Limits: | 1.4- 11% (n-butanol) |
| Extinguishing Medium: | carbon dioxide, dry powder or foam |
| Special Fire Fighting Procedures: | If involved in a fire, fire fighters should be equipped with a NIOSH approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. |

| Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: | Flammable liquid. No unusual fire or explosion hazards. |
| SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures | |
|---|---|
| Spill and Leak Procedures: | Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid contact with water. Small spills may be adsorbed into diatomaceous earth, sand, or other suitable adsorbent, and swept up. |
| SECTION 7: Handling and Storage | |
|---|---|
| Handling and Storage: | Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool dry place. If container is left open, product may adsorb moisture from the atmosphere and release n-butanol vapor. |
| SECTION 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection | |
|---|---|
| Eye Protection: | Always wear approved safety glasses when handling a chemical substance in the laboratory. |
| Skin Protection: | Wear protective clothing and gloves. |
| Ventilation: | Material may form a vapor upon exposure to air. if possible, handle the material in an efficient fume hood. |
| Respirator: | If ventilation is not available a respirator should be worn. The use of respirators requires a Respirator Protection Program to be in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.134. |
| Additional Protection: | No additional protection required. |
