The
Hazard fields
include
special hazard alerts
air and water
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
none
Air & Water Reactions
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
May irritate eyes, nose, throat and mucous membrane. May cause coughing and chest discomfort. Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
An ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents

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
No information available.
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, alcohol foam. (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
No information available.
Protective Clothing
Self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, rubber gloves, and rubber apron. If spill is small, a full facepiece air purifying cartridge respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridge may be satisfactory. (USCG, 1999)
DuPont Tychem® Suit Fabrics
No information available.
First Aid
INHALATION: Get medical aid. Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
INGESTION: If victim is conscious, have victim drink 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by sticking a finger down the throat. Do not give anything to an unconscious or convulsive person.
EYES: Flush eyes with lots of running water for 15 minutes, lifting the upper and lower eyelids occasionally.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with lots of soap and water. (USCG, 1999)

The
Physical Property fields
include properties such as vapor pressure and
boiling point, as well as explosive limits and
toxic exposure thresholds
The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of
data sources.
Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing the value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise in air or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Short phrases have been added to those values below as an aid. However, make sure to also consider the circumstances of a release. The Vapor Density comparisons are only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the surrounding air itself. If the chemical is escaping from a container where it was pressurized or refrigerated, it may first escape and behave as a heavy gas and sink in the air (even if it has a Vapor Density value less than 1). Also, the Specific Gravity comparisons are for fresh water (density 1.0 g/mL). If your spill is in salt water (density about 1.027 g/mL), you need to adjust the point of comparison. There are some chemicals that will sink in fresh water and float in salt water.
