2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate

Move the affected person away from the contaminated area and into the fresh air. Give artificial respiration if necessary. Call a doctor.

Symptoms: Headache. Nausea.

Immediately remove contaminated clothing or footwear. Rinse with plenty of water. Call a physician immediately.

Symptoms: May cause moderate irritation. Redness. Exposure may produce an allergic reaction.

Rinse immediately and thoroughly, pulling the eyelids well away from the eye (15 minutes minimum). If irritation persists, consult an eye specialist.

Symptoms: Eye irritation. Redness.

Rinse mouth out with water. Never attempt to induce vomiting. Call a physician Immediately.

Symptoms: Nausea. Headache. Symptoms of vasodilation may occur following organic nitrate over exposure

Carbon dioxide (CO2). Water spray. Foam. Dry powder.

2-EHN is thermally unstable - when heated above 100°C, it may undergo a self-accelerating exothermic decomposition. Upper tank surfaces in contact with the vapour will rapidly reach the auto-ignition temperature (130°C) of 2-EHN. This will lead to an air-vapour explosion in the headspace of the tank. Sealed drums of 2-EHN in an intense fire will rupture. Bursting drums will give rise to projectiles/flying fragments and fireball formation.

Removal of radiant heat from nearby fire is vital. Apply deluge water onto tank walls to keep the product cool. Cool containers exposed to flames with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Fight any fire from a safe distance or protected locations. Do not approach containers suspected to be hot, if tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in fire, ISOLATE the container and evacuate personnel to ensure safety. Drums and IBC's should be immediately cooled by spraying firewater from a fixed deluge.

Avoid any direct contact with the product. Do not breathe vapours. Do not smoke. No flames, no sparks. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Use water spray to reduce vapours. Isolate hazard area and restrict entry. Evacuate the danger area. Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective equipment.

Do not allow product to spread into the environment.

Wash away residue with large amounts of water

Ensure good ventilation of the work station. Avoid any direct contact with the product. So not breathe vapours. Smoking is forbidden. No flames, no sparks. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Unloading through gravity or by pumping. Avoid unloading by additional pressure. Clean carefully any device in contact with the product which needs to be serviced or repaired. Do not mix with incompatible materials, see list in section 10.

Keep away from incompatible materials. Keep away from ignition sources. Keep in a cool, well ventilated pace away from heat. Prevent rproduct from reaching 100 °C.

Do not drink, eat or smoke in the workplace. Always wash hands after handling the product.

Smoking is forbidden. No flames, no sparks. Eliminate all sources of ignition.

Ensure good ventilation of the work station.

Nitrile-rubber protective gloves. Neoprene protective gloves.

Safety spectacles with side shields

Breathing apparatus

Protective clothing

Take all necessary measures to avoid accidental discharges of products into drains and waterways due to the rupture of containers or transfer systems.

Stable at ambient temperature and under normal conditions of use >100°C. Thermal decomposition at 130°C.

Risk of explosion if heated under confinement. Thermal decomposition at 130 °C

Heating under strong confinement can lead to violent reaction, even an explosion. Temperature above 100°C may cause self accelerating exothermic decomposition.

Thermal decomposition at 130°C. Recommended handling <60°C

Acids. Alkalis. Oxidizint materials. Reducint materials.

Carbon Oxydes (CO, CO2). Various hydrocarbon fragments. Nitrogen oxides

Dispose of in accordance with relevant local regulations. Recover and Recicle when possible. Do not release into the environment.
