Chemical Safety
0401 sec-BUTYLAMINE
IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its
vapour and by ingestion.
Physical dangers
Inhalation risk
The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground;
distant ignition possible. A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on
evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
Chemical dangers
Effects of short-term exposure
The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes
and gases (ammonia, nitrogen oxides). The substance is a weak The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the
base. Reacts with strong oxidants and strong acids. Attacks tin, respiratory tract.
aluminum, and some steels.
Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Occupational exposure limits Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
TLV not established.
MAK: 5 ppm, 15 mg/m 3; Peak limitation category: I(2); skin
absorption (H); Pregnancy risk group: IIc; (DFG 2004).
