Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: colorless or slight yellow liquid. Flash Point: 34 deg C.
Warning! Flammable liquid and vapor. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. May cause central nervous system depression. May cause fetal effects based upon animal studies.
Target Organs: Central nervous system.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause chelation with iron and other soluble metals leading to deficiencies. Exposure to low concentrations may be cumulative. May cause irritation and dermatitis. May cause cyanosis of the extremities.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause effects similar to those for inhalation exposure. Ingestion of large amounts may cause CNS depression.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. May cause respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause burning sensation in the chest.
Chronic: Animal studies have reported that fetal effects/abnormalities may occur when maternal toxicity is seen. Chronic exposure may cause chelation with iron and other soluble metals leading to deficiencies. Exposure to low concentrations may be cumulative. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - 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. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. For large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Water may be ineffective. Do NOT use straight streams of water.

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. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Use only in a well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Storage: Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.

Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No data available. released to soil, acetyl acetone is expected to leach readily (estimated Koc range of 6 to 28) and volatilize from dry soil surfaces. One screening study suggests that biodegradation may be the predominant fate process in water. Although this study is not specific to soil media, it suggests that biodegradation in soil may be important. If released to water, hydrolysis, aquatic oxidation, adsorption to sediment and bioconcentration in aquatic organisms are not expected to be environmentally important removal processes of acetylacetone.
Environmental: Volatilization half-lives of 15 and 170 days have been estimated for a model river (one meter deep) and a model environmental pond, respectively. If released to the atmosphere, acetyl acetone is expected to exist in the vapor phase. Vapor-phase acetyl acetone is expected to degrade by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals (estimated half-life of 14 days). Based on its high water solubility, removal from air via wet deposition may occur.
Physical: No information available.
Other: No information available.
