Chemical Name: Allylamine
Concentration: 100%
CAS Number: 107-11-9
Impurities/Additives: Purity grade depends on supplier, may contain trace stabilizers for storage
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air immediately. Keep person at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a poison center or doctor. Provide artificial respiration if breathing is difficult or stops. Avoid self-exposure.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin continuously with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek urgent medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact: Promptly flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower lids occasionally. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical help promptly. If vomiting occurs, keep head low so aspiration does not happen.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, or water spray. Do not use water jet.
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Containers may rupture from pressure build-up when strongly heated or involved in fire. Product decomposes to toxic gases including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear, including gloves and boots.
Special Procedures: Remove containers from fire area if safe. Cool exposed containers with water. Prevent runoff to sewer or waterway.
Personal Precautions: Avoid direct contact with spilled product. Ventilate area well. Only trained personnel with suitable personal protective equipment should handle cleanup.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, watercourses, or soil. Notify authorities in case of large spill.
Method for Containment and Cleaning Up: Stop leak if safe. Contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite). Transfer to a chemical waste container for disposal. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Ventilate area and wash site after material pickup is complete.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas; local exhaust recommended. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Do not smoke, eat, or drink during use. Ground all containers when transferring.
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly sealed container, kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from sources of ignition and heat. Store separately from oxidizing agents, acids, and halogens. Use corrosion-resistant storage materials. Segregate from incompatible chemicals, especially strong acids and oxidizing substances. Maintain proper labeling and access to Safety Data Sheet.
Control Parameters: Occupational exposure limits vary; ACGIH TLV not established—keep airborne levels as low as possible.
Engineering Controls: Use explosion-proof ventilation and local exhaust to keep vapor concentrations low. Enclosures or process isolations recommended.
Personal Protection: Wear butyl rubber or nitrile gloves, chemical splash goggles, face shield, flame-resistant laboratory coat, and use respirator approved for organic vapors where ventilation is not sufficient. Eye wash stations and safety showers must stay accessible. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
