Chemical Name: Cyclohexyl Acetate
Common Uses: Solvent in paints, coatings, and fragrances
Appearance: Clear colorless liquid with a mild, somewhat fruity odor
Chemical Formula: C8H14O2
Shelf Life: Stable under recommended storage
Odor Threshold: Detectable at low concentrations, but characteristic smell is disruptive above that
Health Hazards: Irritates eyes and skin on contact, inhalation causes respiratory discomfort, swallowing leads to headache, dizziness, or nausea
Environmental Hazards: Can be toxic to aquatic life when released in quantity
Physical Hazards: Flammable—vapors may travel and ignite easily; electrostatic charges build up when pouring
Signal Word: Warning
Pictograms: Flammable liquid, exclamation mark for irritation
Main Ingredient: Cyclohexyl Acetate 95-100%
Impurities: Small percentage of related esters if synthesis not fully efficient
CAS Number: 622-45-7
Eye Contact: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes, seek help if redness or pain persists
Skin Contact: Wash area thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, aid breathing if effects show, medical attention needed for severe symptoms
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, avoid vomiting, get medical advice without delay
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, foam, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet risks spreading fire
Hazardous Combustion: Exposure to fire releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, irritating vapors
Protective Actions: Wear proper protection, avoid inhaling vapors, use equipment rated for flammable liquids
Special Measures: Cool containers with water spray, contain runoff to prevent contamination
Personal Precautions: Ventilate affected area, remove ignition sources, use gloves, goggles, and chemical-resistant footwear
Spill Cleanup: Damp down with non-combustible absorbent such as sand or earth, scoop up and place in sealed container
Environmental Precautions: Keep away from sewers and waterways, notify authorities of large spills
Disposal: Follow guidelines for hazardous waste
Proper Handling: Only use in well-ventilated areas, keep container tightly closed, don’t smoke nearby, avoid body contact
Safe Storage: Store away from direct sunlight and heat, use in fire-proof location away from acids, oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Avoid strong acids, oxidizing agents, or bases which trigger hazardous reactions
Container: Use containers made of material compatible with organic solvents, seal tightly after use
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, flameproof equipment if large volumes are present
Respiratory Protection: Use organic vapor respirator if handling in enclosed areas or concentrations exceed safe limits
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves and clothes prevent skin irritation
Eye Protection: Safety glasses or face shield for splash risk
Hygiene Measures: Never eat, drink or smoke with contaminated gloves, wash up after work
Boiling Point: 173-175°C
Melting Point: Less than -50°C
Vapor Pressure: Moderate at room temperature
Density: About 0.96 g/cm³
Solubility: Insoluble in water, mixes well with alcohol and many other organics
Flash Point: 69°C / 156°F (closed cup)
Evaporation Rate: Slower than acetone
Appearance: Clear liquid, non-viscous
Chemical Stability: Remains stable under normal warehouse conditions, breaks down in light and heat
Hazardous Reactions: Reacts with strong oxidizing agents causing fire or explosion risk
Decomposition Products: Burning releases toxic gases, including carbon monoxide
Polymerization: Not known to undergo harmful polymerization
Acute Effects: Breathing in vapors or mists causes throat irritation, dizziness, drowsiness, or headache; splashing in the eyes or on the skin causes pain and redness
Skin and Eye Irritation: Prolonged skin contact leads to dryness, cracking, or burns; eye exposure causes temporary vision problems
No Direct Sensitization: Not recognized as a skin or respiratory sensitizer
Chronic Toxicity: Evidence doesn’t show long-term damage at low exposure, but high, repeated exposure is best avoided
Carcinogenicity: No studies point to carcinogenic risk in standard use
Toxicity to Fish and Aquatic Life: High concentrations are harmful, leading to lethargy and mortality in aquatic species
Biodegradability: Breaks down slowly in water or soil, builds up if untreated spillage happens
Environmental Mobility: Volatilizes from land and water surfaces, but residue persists longer in low-oxygen soils
Bioaccumulation: Moderate risk if released repeatedly, so strict control on disposal pays off in environmental terms
Waste Treatment: Collect waste in approved containers, treat as flammable waste, avoid discharge into drains
Recycling: Possibility exists where high-purity streams can be cleaned up; otherwise, incinerate under controlled conditions
Safe Disposal: Follow local hazardous waste rules, never dump near water or open ground
Transport Risks: Flammable, needs proper labels and secure packages
Packing Classification: Falls under flammable liquid, requires sturdy containers
Precautions. Do not stack with oxidizers or acids, use care in hot environments
Spill Response in Transit: Emergency plans in place for leaks; notify authorities if spilled during shipping
Usage Restrictions: Listed in many chemical inventories; workplace exposures subject to national guidelines
Labeling Requirements: Hazard pictograms, hazard statements, and handling instructions clearly shown
Workplace Controls: Employers enforce exposure limits, require safety training for regular users
Environmental Safeguards: Regulatory bodies target site emissions and require reporting on volumes handled or spilled
