General Description
Liquid. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. (USCG, 1999)

reactions, fire hazards, health hazards, a reactivity profile, and
details about
reactive groups assignments
and
potentially incompatible absorbents.
The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Reactivity Alerts
- Highly Flammable
- Polymerizable
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: May contain acrid smoke and fumes including toxic acrylic acid, one of the most serious eye injury chemcials and a severe skin irritant.
Behavior in Fire: It may decompose to yield acrid smoke and fumes. (USCG, 1999)
Behavior in Fire: It may decompose to yield acrid smoke and fumes. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
INHALATION: Higher concentrations may cause pronounced pulmonary irritation or edema. Prolonged contact may cause severe damage to tissues. May be fatal if swallowed or absorbed through skin. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
N-DECYL ACRYLATE reacts exothermically with acids to give n-decyl alcohol and acrylic acid. May react vigorous with strong oxidizing acids and generate enough heat to ignite the reaction products. Interaction with caustic solutions also generates heat. Incompatible with alkali metals and hydrides. Polymerizes readily in the presence of heat and light generating much heat. [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980. p. 250]. Burns to give acrid smoke and fumes that contain toxic acrylic acid, one of the most serious eye injury chemcials and a severe skin irritant.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)

The
Response Recommendation fields
include isolation and evacuation distances, as well as recommendations for
firefighting, non-fire response, protective clothing, and first aid. The
information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Isolation and Evacuation
Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:
As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids.
SPILL: Increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown above.
FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

SPILL: Increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown above.
FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Small fires: dry chemical, CO 2 , water spray or foam; large fires: water spray, fog or foam. (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not appl (USCG, 1999)
Protective Clothing
Wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. (USCG, 1999)

First Aid
INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
EYES OR SKIN: immediately flush with running water for at least 15 min.; hold eyelids open if necessary. Wash skin with soap and water.
INGESTION: if conscious, give victim several glasses of water and induce vomiting. If unconscious or having convulsions, do nothing except keep victim warm. (USCG, 1999)
