Manufacturer/Supplier: Provided by supplier’s label
Emergency Contact: Check local supplier or regulatory contact numbers
Recommended Restrictions: Industrial use only, keep away from unauthorized personnel
Classification: Flammable liquid; irritant to eyes and respiratory system
Hazard Statements: Causes skin irritation, serious eye irritation; may cause respiratory discomfort; vapors may form explosive mixtures with air; harmful if swallowed
Pictograms: Flame, exclamation mark
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing vapor; use protective gloves/eye protection; keep away from heat/sparks/open flames
Signal Word: Warning
Potential Health Effects: Shortness of breath, headache, skin redness, eye redness, nausea
Chemical: Vinyl N-Butyrate
Content: 98–100%
Stabilizers: Typically contains trace amounts of inhibitors to prevent polymerization
Impurities: Not expected above 1%
Other Components: Residual monomer content is minimal and specified by supplier
Inhalation: Move exposed individual to fresh air immediately; seek medical support if symptoms like dizziness or coughing persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; wash skin with copious water and mild soap for at least 15 minutes; consult physician for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse with low-pressure water for 10–20 minutes; seek medical evaluation regardless of apparent resolution
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth; call poison control; get medical attention promptly
Signs of Overexposure: Coughing, burning sensation, rash, gastrointestinal discomfort, loss of coordination
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam; do not use water jets
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures; thermal decomposition releases acrid fumes and carbon oxides
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing; approach fire from upwind
Special Procedures: Cool containers with water spray to prevent rupture; evacuate area if fire escalates; control run-off liquids
Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, potentially hazardous organic fragments
Personal Precautions: Restrict access; wear gloves, goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing; ventilate area fully
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways and soil; contain spill with inert absorbents
Clean-up Methods: Collect spillage using non-sparking tools; place absorbed material in containers for disposal; decontaminate surfaces with soap and water
Emergency Procedures: Notify local authorities if large spill enters public drains; use vapor suppressive foam if safe
Handling: Use in ventilated locations; ground and bond all containers during transfer; avoid inhalation of vapors
Safe Storage: Store in tightly sealed, properly labeled containers; keep under 25°C away from sunlight or heat
Protection from Static: Use only conductive tools and containers; minimize splash filling
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents, and reducing agents
Advice on General Hygiene: Wash hands after use; remove contaminated clothing before eating, drinking, or smoking
Exposure Limits: Occupational exposure limit values set by local regulations; typically below 10 ppm for vapor
Engineering Controls: Use closed systems, local exhaust ventilation, fume hoods
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile/PVC), goggles, lab coats, full face shields for splash risk
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirators if ventilation is inadequate
Other Controls: Eyewash stations and safety showers must be available in working zone
Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Sweet, fruity
Boiling Point: 140–145°C
Melting Point: –80°C
Vapor Pressure: Approximately 5 mmHg at 20°C
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents (alcohol, ether)
Flash Point: 40°C (closed cup)
Density: 0.88 g/cm³ at 25°C
Viscosity: Thin, mobile liquid
Partition Coefficient: log Pow ≥ 2 (moderately lipophilic)
Auto-Ignition Temperature: 260°C
Explosive Limits: Lower—1.4 vol%, Upper—7.5 vol%
Chemical Stability: Remains stable under recommended storage and use; unstabilized material may polymerize
Conditions to Avoid: Elevated heat, sparks, open flame, static discharge; exposure to sunlight
Hazardous Reactions: Exothermic reaction with strong oxidizers, acids, or bases
Incompatible Materials: Avoid alkali metals, strong acids, oxidizing agents
Hazardous Decomposition: Releases hazardous fumes such as carbon oxides and butyric acid under fire
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact
Acute Toxicity: May cause central nervous system depression, headache, drowsiness; ingestion causes gastrointestinal upset
Skin Irritation: Prolonged contact produces redness and possible dermatitis
Eye Irritation: Contact leads to intense irritation, tearing, blurred vision
Chronic Effects: No clear evidence of carcinogenicity; repeated exposure may aggravate pre-existing skin/breathing disorders
Sensitization: Not a reported sensitizer, skin protection still recommended
Environmental Fate: Moderately persistent in environment; breaks down into smaller volatiles by hydrolysis and photolysis
Mobility: Low mobility in soil due to moderate volatility and hydrophobicity
Aquatic Toxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms; low to moderate bioaccumulation
Degradation: Expected to degrade under typical atmospheric and microbial action in soil/water
Other Hazards: Do not discharge into environment or public drains
Disposal Methods: Dispose of through licensed chemical waste contractor; do not pour down drains or release to soil
Container Disposal: Triply rinse containers; puncture and send for recycling or approved landfill
Waste Code: Typically aligns with organic solvent codes in national hazardous waste listings
Precautions: Incinerate under controlled conditions where safe; avoid open burning
Advice: Always follow local, regional, and national guidelines for chemical disposal
