Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms like coughing or difficulty breathing occur.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention for persistent irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids frequently. Get prompt medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.
Symptoms & Effects: Eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, dizziness, gastrointestinal discomfort. Severe exposure can cause burns and central nervous system effects.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water jet directly on fire.
Specific Hazards: Fumes can produce toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide during combustion.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Fire & Explosion Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air; containers exposed to fire risk rupturing.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and suitable respiratory equipment.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe. Avoid discharge into drains, surface waters, or soil.
Clean-up Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite). Collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. Provide adequate ventilation.
Decontamination: Wash spill area thoroughly after material pickup.
Handling Precautions: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground/bond containers during transfer.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible substances such as acids and oxidizing agents.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers, halogenated hydrocarbons.
Exposure Limits: No established TLV or OSHA PEL for N-Amylamine. Recommended exposure below 1 ppm as guideline based on chemical sensitization.
Engineering Controls: Use mechanical exhaust or general dilution ventilation. Use explosion-proof equipment as needed.
Personal Protection: Wear protective gloves (nitrile or neoprene), chemical-resistant coveralls, safety goggles or face shield, suitable respiratory protection in cases of vapor generation.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking. Do not smoke, eat, or drink in work area.
