IV. SOLVENTS Characteristics • May be flammable, toxic, or carcinogenic • Fire and explosion hazard • Most are easily absorbed through skin Storage Precautions Potential Hazards Detection of Release Immediate Action • Store in approved safety cans or cabinets • Do not use plastics for storage of large amounts of flammable liquids • Segregate from oxidizers • Keep away from any source of ignition: flames, localized heat or sparks • <strong>Safety</strong> cans or drums containing flammable liquids should be grounded and bonded when being used • Keep fire fighting equipment readily available • Have spill cleanup materials handy • Do not exceed the recommended maximum container size for flammable and combustible liquids (Call EH&S for more information) • Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated location Fire • Maybe flammable • May be ignited by heat • Vapors may travel to ignition source Explosion • Container may explode due to heat or fire • Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outside, and in confined spaces Health • Some are toxic • Can replace oxygen and cause suffocation • Irritation of eyes, nose, throat, lungs • May cause headaches, dizziness, and sleepiness • Higher levels of exposure may cause unconsciousness, brain and central nervous system effects • Skin contact may cause dryness, irritation and dermatitis • Chronic effects: liver, kidney, central nervous system, and brain damage • Odor thresholds vary widely from person to person, don't depend on odor for warning • Some solvents produce "olfactory fatigue" - rapid loss of ability to smell the odor • Solvent vapors are invisible • Detected by industrial hygiene instruments NOTIFY EH&S OF ANY RELEASE: • Beyond immediate work area • Causing personal injury • Stop leak if without risk to personnel Personal Protection • Avoid breathing vapors • Wear appropriate protective clothing • Wear self-contained breathing apparatus 42
First Aid • Move victim to fresh air • Remove contaminated clothing • In case of contact, flush skin or eyes with water • Keep victim quiet and warm • If not breathing give artificial respiration Common Solvents: Acetaldehyde Acetone Acetyl Chloride Allyl Alcohol* Allyl Chloride N-Amyl Acetate N-Amyl Alcohol Benzene* N-Butyl Acetate N-Butyl Alcohol* N-Butylamine* Carbon Disulfide* Chlorobenzene Cyclohexane Diethylamine* Diethyl Carbonate p-Dioxane* Ethanol Ethyl Acetate Ethyl Acrylate Ethylamine* Ethyl Benzene Ethylene Dichloride Ethyl Ether Ethyl Formate Furan Gasoline Heptane Hexane* Hydrazine* Isobutyl Alcohol Isopropyl Acetate Isopropyl Alcohol Isopropyl Ether Mesityl Oxide Methanol* Methyl Acetate Methyl Acrylate* Methylal Methyl Butyl Ketone* Methyl Ethyl Ketone Methyl Formate Methyl Isobutyl Ketone Methyl Methacrylate Methyl Propryl Ketone Morpholine* Napthalene* Nitromethane† Octane Piperidine Propanol* Propylene Oxide Pyridine Styrene Tetrahydrofuran Toluene* Turpentine Vinyl Acetate Xylene * Readily absorbed through the skin. †Most nitrohydrocarbons are flammable. V. OXIDIZERS Characteristics Storage Precautions Potential Hazards Contains available oxygen that can make ignition easier or cause a fire to burn with intensity. • Store in a cool, dry place, well-ventilated location in original containers. • Keep away from flammable and combustible materials (such as paper, wood, etc.) • Keep away from reducing agents such as zinc, alkaline metals, and formic acid. Fire/Explosion • Chlorites, chlorates, and perchlorates are potentially explosive in contact with combustibles, sulfur organic materials, metal powders. • Can explode if subjected to shock, friction, or heat. 43
