Section I: Product Identification
CATALOG NUMBER: 2500/4220/4222/4223/9200/9500 PRODUCT NAME: PAH-HPLC
Section II - Hazardous Ingredients/Identity Information
Chemical Name CAS Reg. No. OSHA PEL (TWA) % Composition*
Acetone 67-64-1 750ppm >99%
A table of the compounds possible in this polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbon analytical standard is attached. Data
included in the table are formulas, CAS numbers, oral ld50
values for rats and PEL/TWA values if available. Total
concentration of polynuclear aromatic compounds in the
standard is less than 2%. With individual compound
concentrations of less than 0.1% will occur.
Section III - Physical/Chemical Characteristics of Hazardous Ingredients
BOILING POINT: 56 C (132 F) @ 760 mm Hg SPECIFIC GRAVITY: 0.79 (water=1)
VAPOR PRESSURE: 181 (20 C) SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Complete APPEARANCE/ODOR: Clear, colorless liquid, sweet
odor (acetone).
Section IV - Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
FLASH POINT (Method used): -18 C (-2 F) AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: 464 C (869 F) FLAMMABLE LIMITS LEL 2.5% UEL 13%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (water may be ineffective). Use extinguisher media appropriate for surrounding fire.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in
positive pressure mode. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors may flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back. Closed containers exposed to heat may
explode. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause a fire.
Section V - Reactivity Data
Unstable Stable Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flame, other sources of ignition.
STABILITY:
INCOMPATIBILITY (Materials to avoid):
Strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, halogen acids and halogen compounds, caustics, amines and ammonia, chlorine and chlorine compounds, strong acids esp.
sulfuric and nitric.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, toxic fumes of chlorine.
HAZARDOUS May Occur Will Not Occur Conditions to Avoid: None Known
POLYMERIZATION:
Section VI - Health Hazard Data
ROUTES OF Inhalation? YES Skin? YES Ingestion? YES
ENTRY
HEALTH HAZARDS (Acute and Chronic): ACUTE: Irritation of the nose and throat. CHRONIC: Kidney and liver damage.
COMPONENTS LISTED AS CARCINOGENS OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS: Total of PAH is less than 1%. Some are on the IARC list.
Page 2
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Irritation of skin, eyes, nose and throat. Headache, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, central nervous system depression, low
blood pressure and respiratory failure. Prolonged contact may cause dermatitis.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Skin and eye disorders, chronic respiratory disease.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Seek medical assistance for treatment, observation and support if necessary. EYE CONTACT: Flush with water, seek
medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Wash with soap and water, use protective creams. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, if not breathing give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult give oxygen and obtain medical assistance. INGESTION: Obtain medical assistance if swallowed. If conscious give large amounts of water and
induce vomiting.
Section VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Diluted standard can be absorbed with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material
and placed into a container for later disposal. Sample solutions should be absorbed with charcoal or other organic absorbent and incinerated. Flush area with water.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated flammable liquid storage area.
Isolate from incompatible materials.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS* Do not heat or evaporate analytical standards to dryness.
Section VIII - Control Measures
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Please specify): Respiratory protection required if airborne concentrations exceeds PEL (750 ppm). At concentrations up to 5000 ppm
a chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge is recommended. Above this level, a self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended. (20,000 is
immediately dangerous to life or health).
VENTILATION: Local exhaust
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Butyl, neoprene, latex, or rubber gloves. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Impervious Clothing.
EMERGENCY WASH FACILITIES: Maintain eye wash and quick drench showers in work area.
