170 ETHYL HEXYL TALLATE
455, 235, 508; Critical Pressure: 686, 46.6, 4.73; Specific Gravity: 0,922 at 20°C (liquid); Vapor
(Gas) Specific Gravity: 2,6; Ratio of Specijic Heats of Vapor (Gas): 1.1014; Latent Heat of
Vaporization: 176, 98, 4,l; Heat of Combustion: -9,500, -5,300, -220; Heat of Decomposition: Not
pertinent.
Health Hazards Information - Personal Protective Equipment: Organic canister gas mask; goggles
or face shield; rubber gloves. Symptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation of vapor causes slight irritation
of the eyes and rapidly increasing irritation of the nose. High concentrations cause deep narcosis within
a few minutes followed by death within a few hours. Contact with liquid causes moderate irritation of
eyes and mild irritation of skin. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach; may cause deep
narcosis and death if not treated. Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION removes from exposure;
begin artificial respiration if breathing has stopped; call physician. EYES: wash with water for 15 min.;
call physician if needed. SKIN: wash with water for 15 min.; call physician if irritation persists.
INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; get medical attention at once. Toxicity by Inhalation
(Threshold Limit Value): 100 ppm; Short-Term Inhalation Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by
Ingestion: Grade 2; oral LD,, = 1,850 mg/kg (rat); Late Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (Gas)
Im’tant Characteristics: Vapors cause moderate irritation such that personnel will find high
concentrations unpleasant. The effect is temporary. Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Fairly
severe skin irritant. May cause pain and second-degree burns after a few minutes’ contact. Odor
Threshold: No data.
Fire Hazards - Fhh Point (deg. F): 10 OC; -4 CC; Flammable Limits in Air (%): 2.8 - 16.0; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not To
Be Used: Water may be ineffective; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Not pertinent; Behavior
in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash
back; Ignition Temperature (deg. F): 851; Electrical Hazard: Data not available; Burning Rate: 3.6
mm/min.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No
reaction; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent;
Polymerizm’on: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.
