Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Cobalt acetate 鈥? not determined. Isopropylamine 鈥? Flammable Liquid. Vapors may travel
considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Water spray may be ineffective as extinguishing agent.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Cobalt acetate 鈥? not determined. Isopropylamine 鈥? Use proper respiratory protection against fumes
such as self-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 5 鈥? HEALTH INFORMATION
Primary Routes of Exposure (# 6405): Inhalation, contact with eyes or skin
Signs & Symptoms of Exposure:
(1) Acute Overexposure 鈥? Irritation of eyes, nose & throat. Splashes in the eyes or on the skin will cause severe burns. Inhalation of
Isopropylamine vapor may also irritate mucous membranes & respiratory tract.
(2) Chronic Overexposure 鈥? Cobalt acetate may cause local dermatitis. Isopropylamine irritates mucous membranes & respiratory
tract. Causes severe irritation, blisters & burns on prolonged contact.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Impaired pulmonary function, pre -existing eye problems, pre -existing skin disorders.
Chemical Component Listed as Carcinogen or Potential Carcinogen: NTP IARC OSHA
None No No No
Other Exposure Limits: None
Emergency & First Aid Procedures: In case of contact immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing & shoes. Call a Physician. If swallowed do not give emetics; if conscious give large quantities
of water to dilute the nitric acid, call a physician.
SECTION 6 鈥? REACTIVITY DATA
Stability: Unstable _Stable X Conditions to Avoid: Elevated temperatures (Isopropylamine)
Incompatibility (Material to Avoid): Strong acids & strong oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Toxic gases & vapors, such as oxides of nitrogen & carbon dioxide, may be released in a fire
involving Isopropylamine.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Conditions to Avoid: Not applicable for polymerization.
SECTION 7 鈥? SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be taken in case material leaks or spills: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Wear protective equipment. For small quantities,
absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in fume hood. Burn the paper or absorbed material in an approved incinerator.
Disposal Method: Dispose of wastes in accordance with Federal, State & local codes. DO NOT allow Isopropylamine to enter a sewer
because of the possibility of an explosion.
SECTION 8 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTIVE INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not required under normal & intended uses. NIOSH approved organic vapor
respirator used for minor spill cleanup.
Ventilation: Room ventilation is expected to be adequate except during spills or fires.
Protective Gloves: Required when contact exists
Eye Protection: Required when possibility of contact exists.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: An eye wash fountain & safety shower should be readily available where the potential for
contact exists.
SECTION 9 鈥? SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be taken in handling & storing: Store & handle according to packaging instructions. Store in cool, well-ventilated area.
Keep away from reactive materials.
Other Precautions: Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapors. Wash thoroughly after handling.
