CAS #.................... 67-64-1 Acetone - More than 99%
Clear, colorless liquid. Flash Point: -4 F°. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Potential health effects (acute and chronic): Causes Eye Irritation. Causes respiratory tract irritation. Breathing vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin and cause irritation of the skin. Target Organs: central nervous system, respiratory system, eyes, skin. Symptoms of exposure: Effects of eye exposure: Causes eye irritation. May cause burning sensation, redness, tearing, inflammation, and possible corneal damage. Effects of skin contact: Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause drying or cracking of the skin. May be absorbed through the skin. Effects of ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation. May cause central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure. Effects of inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation. May cause motor incoordination and speech abnormalities. Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis. Chronic inhalation may cause central nervous system effects, respiratory tract irritation and/or motor incoordination and speech abnormalities.
Eyes: Immediately flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
Skin: Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Flush skin
with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes, while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing thoroughly before reusing.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove to fresh air immediately.
Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased,
apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such
as a bag and a mask.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls
of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get
medical aid immediately.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Flash Point.................... -4 F°
Autoignition Temperature: . . . 869 F°
Explosion Limits . . .Lower . . 2.5%
. . .Upper . . 12.8%
Fire Extinguishing Media:
For small fires use dry chemical, CO2, water spray, or "alcohol" foam.
For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Water
may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of water. Cool containers
with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Firefighting Procedure:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
approved or equivalent, full protective gear. During a fire containers
can build up pressure if exposed to heat or flame. During a fire, irritating
and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or thermal
combustion. May be ignited by heat, sparks, or flame. Vapors are heavier than
air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread
along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Spill Response:
General Information: Wear suitable protective equipment listed under
exposure/personal protection, including self contained breathing apparatus.
Spills/Leaks: Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to
waterways. Avoid all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Absorb spill
with an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand or vermiculite
and place in suitable container for proper disposal, using a spark-proof tool.
A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors, but may not prevent
ignition in closed spaces.
Handling: Use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Empty containers may contain residue - do not pressurize, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep tightly closed. Avoid ingestion or inhalation. Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a flammables area, away from incompatible materials. Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area.
An eyewash facility and a safety shower should be available. Use adequate
general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below
the permissible exposure limits.
