384 UNDECANOL
Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Organic canister or air-
supplied mask; goggles or face shield; rubber gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: Vapors cause
headache, confusion, respiratory distress. Liquid irritates skin. If ingested, can irritate the entire
digestive system and may injure kidneys. If liquid is taken into lungs, causes several pneumonitis;
General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: remove victim to fresh air; call a doctor; administer
artificial respiration and oxygen if required. INGESTION: give water and induce vomiting; call a
doctor. EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min. SKIN: wipe off, wash with soap and water;
Toxicity by Inhalan'on (Threshold Limit Value): 100 ppm; Short-Ten Exposure Limits: 200 ppm for
30 min.; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2, LD,O.5 to 5 glkg; Late Toxicity: None; Vqor (Gas) Im?m
Characteristics: Vapor causes a slight smarting of the eyes or respiratory system if present in high
concentration. The effect is temporary; Liquid or Solid Zm'tant Characteristics: Minimum hazard. If
spilled on clothing and allowed to remain, may be cause smarting and reddening of the skin; Odor
Threshold Data not available.
Fire Hazards - Fhh Point (deg. F): 95 CC; Flammable Limits in Air (96): 0.8 (LEL); Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to be
Used: Water may be ineffective; Special Hazard of Combustion Products: Not pertinent; Behavior in
Fire: Forms heavy black smoke and soot; Ignition Temperature (deg. F): 488; Electrical Hazard: Not
pertinent; Burning Rate: 2.4 mmlmin.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No
reactions; Stability During Tramport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents forAcids and Caustics: Not pertinent;
Polymerizm'on: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.
