SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: clear. Flash Point: 31 deg C. Warning! Flammable liquid.
color="#000000" size="2" Roman? New Times Arial,Causes skin irritation. May cause respiratory
and digestive tract irritation. Causes severe eye irritation.
Target Organs: None.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes severe eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: No information found.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the
upper and lower lids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
SECTION 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive
mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use foam, dry chemical, or
carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective.
Auto ignition Temperature: 430 deg C (806.00 deg F)
Flash Point: 31 deg C (87.80 deg F)
NFPA Rating: health-2; flammability-3; reactivity-0 Explosion Limits, Lower: Not available. Upper: Not
available.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical
waste container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment
section. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Remove
all sources of ignition.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use with adequate ventilation.
Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do
not get on skin or in eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed
container. Flammables-area.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls: Use adequate general or local, explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne
levels to acceptable levels.

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
RTECS#:
CAS# 120-92-3: GY4725000
LD50/LC50: Not available.
Carcinogenicity: CAS# 120-92-3: Not listed by ACGIH, IARC, NIOSH, NTP, or OSHA.
SECTION 12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity: EC50 Daphnia magna 1440 mg/l Toxicity threshold: Scenedesmus quadricaude 370
mg/l; Entosiphon sulcatum 545 mg/l
Environmental Fate: Cyclopentanone is not expected to undergo hydrolysis or photolysis in the
environment. Limited data suggests that cyclopentanone should biodegrate rapidly upon acclimation
in soil and water.
Other: Biodegradation: Pure culture studies showed various isolated species of bacteria and yeast
were unable to utilize cyclopentanone as a single carbon source. A single 5-day BOD screening test,
which utilized activated sludge for inocula, indicates cyclopentanone biodegrated rapidly with
acclimation. After a 20-day acclimation period, 95.4% COD of an initial concentration of 100 mg/l was
removed in an closed bottle maintained at 20xC and a pH of 7.2 .
SECTION 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of in a manner consistent with federal, state, and local regulations.
RCRA D-Series Maximum Concentration ofContaminants: None listed.
