CAS #: 115-19-5

UN #: 1987

EC Number: 204-070-5

	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Highly flammable. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Risk of explosion on contact with copper.	If powder: NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.	Use carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder. NO water. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact of the substance with water.


	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough.	Use ventilation.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion	Dizziness.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.

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 Highly flammable liquid and vapour Harmful if swallowed Causes eye irritation Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: II
STORAGE
Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants, acids and copper. Cool.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID. Physical dangers The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. Chemical dangers Reacts with oxidants. Reacts with copper. This generates explosion hazard. Reacts violently with acids. Heating may cause violent combustion or explosion. Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames. This produces irritating fumes.	Formula: C₅H₈O/(CH₃)₂C(OH)CCH Molecular mass: 84.1 Boiling point: 104-105°C Melting point: 2.6°C Density (gas): 0.9 kg/m³ Solubility in water: miscible Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 2 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.9 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.04 Flash point: 20°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 350°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.8-16 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.318
