Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment. I solate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel from entering. C ontain and recover liquid when possible. Use
non-sparking tools and equipment. C ollect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb
with an inert material (e.g. vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical
waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to
sewer. Have dry powder fire extinguisher on hand during clean-up operations. I f a leak
or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel
attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures. U.S. Regulations
(CERC LA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess
of reportable quantities. I f a leak or spill has not ignited use water spray to disperse the
vapors to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from
exposures.
________________________________________________________________________
HANDL I NG AND S T OR AGE
________________________________________________________________________
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away
from any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is
preferred. Separate from incompatibles. C ontainers should be bonded and grounded for
transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be NO SMOKI NG areas.
Use non sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof ventilation.
C ontainers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product
residues (vapors, liquid): observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Do Not attempt to clean empty containers since residue is difficult to remove. Do not
pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder. drill, grind or expose such containers to heat,
sparks, flame, static electricity or other sources of ignition: they may explode and cause
injury or death.

AI RBORNE EXPOSURE LI MI T S:
For n-Amyl Acetate: OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 100 ppm
(T WA). AC I H T hreshold Limit Value (T LV): 100 ppm (T WA).
G
VENT I LAT I ON SYST EM:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures
below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing
dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the AC I H document,
G
I ndustrial Ventilation. A Manual of Recommended Practices most recent edition for
details.
PERSONAL RESPI RAT ORS (NI OSH Approved):
I f the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face organic vapor respirator may be worn for
up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face
piece organic vapor respirator may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit or the
maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator
supplier whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels
are not known use a full-face piece positive-pressure air-supplied respirator. WARNI NG :
Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
SKI N PROT EC I ON:
T
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls
as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
EYE PROT EC I ON:

Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
