	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. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Use non-sparking handtools. 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	Burning sensation. Convulsions. Cough. Headache. Nausea. Sore throat. Vomiting.	Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Blisters.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention .
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Blurred vision. Severe deep burns.	Wear face shield 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	Convulsions. Sore throat. Vomiting. See Inhalation.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus.	According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Subsidiary Risks: 8; UN Pack Group: II
STORAGE
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants and acids. Well closed.
PACKAGING
Unbreakable packaging. Put breakable packaging into closed unbreakable container.

ICSC: 1315

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS-TO-YELLOW LIQUID WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. Physical dangers The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. Chemical dangers Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. The substance is a strong base. Reacts violently with oxidants. It reacts violently with acid and is corrosive.	Formula: C₄H₉N Molecular mass: 71 Boiling point: 89°C Melting point: -63°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.85 Solubility in water: miscible Vapour pressure, kPa at 39°C: 1.8 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.45 Flash point: 3°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.9-13.0 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.46
