Common Name: 2-Nitrobutyl Acrylate
Chemical Formula: C7H11NO4
Physical Form: Clear to pale yellow liquid, pungent odor
Synonyms: Acrylate ester with nitro side-chain
Primary Uses: Intermediate for specialty polymers, adhesives, and coatings that call for tailored reactivity
Hazard Classification: Flammable, skin irritant, respiratory hazard
Acute Hazards: Burns skin on contact, vapors choke air in confined areas, liquid triggers severe eye injury
Signal Words: Danger, toxic by inhalation, irritating to skin, risk of serious damage to eyes
Routes of Exposure: Eyes, skin, lungs, mouth
Main Ingredient: 2-Nitrobutyl Acrylate (≥98%)
Other Possible Components: Stabilizers, trace monomers
Eye Exposure: Flush with cool running water for at least fifteen minutes, keep lids open, remove contacts, get professional care
Skin Exposure: Take off soiled clothes, wash area with plain soap and water, don’t scrub, follow up on blisters or redness
Ingestion: Seek immediate medical assistance, skip forced vomiting
Inhalation: Move outdoors without delay, keep airway free, get medical treatment if breathing trouble lingers
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam
Hazardous Combustion Products: Toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide emerge in a blaze
Personal Protection: Full protective gear, oxygen masks for fire crews
Flash Point: Low, fire risk climbs in unventilated storage
Personal Precautions: Clear the area, shield skin and eyes, fit proper ventilation
Spill Cleanup: Absorb liquid on dry sand, shovel up into containers, avoid drains
Environmental Precautions: Block runoff from reaching waterways, alert environmental teams for larger releases
Safe Handling Tips: Keep containers tight and upright, store far from heat, use only where fresh air dilutes fumes, prep an eyewash station and shower
Storage Conditions: House in cool, ventilated rooms, away from acids or oxidizers, keep away from sunlight, keep temp steady and monitor for leaks
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust fans, fume hoods, regular air checks
Personal Protection: Nitrile gloves, chemical goggles, apron, cartridge respirators for vapor
Exposure Limits: Refer to government health advisories where available, no official US standard listed for this specific compound
Appearance: Clear to slightly yellow liquid
Odor: Sharp acrid odor
Boiling Point: Moderate, vapor forms at room temp
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, mixes with most organics
Vapor Pressure: Notable, higher at warm temps
Density: Slightly heavier than water
Explosive Properties: Can build fumes, ignition likely in closed areas
Chemical Stability: Steady at room temperature, risk climbs if heated or exposed to UV
Dangerous Reactions: Polymerizes with strong acids or bases, emits harsh fumes under fire, not compatible with oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition: Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide emerge in breakdown or flame
Overall Risk: High toxicity through vapor, damages airways, rough on eyes, burns skin, risk of long-term organ trouble after high exposure
Long-term Impact: Possible damage to lungs, skin sensitization
Short-Term Symptoms: Cough, headache, rash, blurred sight, trouble breathing show up quickly if exposed
Affected Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory tract
Environmental Hazard: Dangerous to aquatic life, kills small water animals fast
Persistence: Breaks down slowly, lingers in water and soil, risk of buildup
Movement: Can spread in run-off and settle in sediments
Impact: Long recovery time for water systems, keep out of drains at all costs
Waste Disposal: Burn in approved chemical incinerators only, skip pouring down regular drains
Substance Handling: Lock up solid waste in sealed containers, label as hazardous
Used Container Management: Rinse out empty drums with caution, treat wash water as hazardous
UN Number: Assigned as hazardous for shipping
Transport Labels: Flammable liquid, skin irritant
Packaging: Tight, leak-proof, upright drums or cans, keep cool along shipment
Special Considerations: Don’t ship with acids, bases, or oxidizers, alert handlers to spill risk
International Movement: Subject to import and export controls in most countries due to toxic properties
Global Regulations: Covered under hazardous chemical lists in Europe and North America
Labelling: Strict label rules for containers, risk phrases, and safety statements
Workplace Controls: Mandatory ventilation, personal protection, spill response kits where used
Enforcement: Regular inspections from environmental and workplace safety bodies
