Divinylene sulphide Thiacyclopentadiene Thiofuran

CAS #: 110-02-1

UN #: 2414

EC Number: 203-729-4

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Highly flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with oxidizing agents. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding).	Use foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

PREVENT GENERATION OF MISTS!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough. Dizziness. Sore throat.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Rest.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT wash away into sewer.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: II
STORAGE
Fireproof. Separated from oxidizing materials.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Physical dangers The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated. Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic and irritating fumes (sulfur oxides). Reacts violently with oxidizing materials, including fuming nitric acid.	Formula: C₄H₄S / SCH=CHCH=CH Molecular mass: 84.1 Boiling point: 84°C Melting point: -38°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.06 Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, kPa at 12.5°C: 5.3 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.9 Flash point: -1°C Auto-ignition temperature: 395°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.5-12.5 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.81
