NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. NO contact with oxidants. Foam, powder, carbon dioxide. EXPLOSION Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.   EXPOSURE STRICT HYGIENE! INHALATION Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. SKIN Redness. Protective gloves. Protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. EYES Redness. Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Refer for medical attention. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT wash away into sewer (extra personal protection: A filter respirator for organic vapour). Fireproof. Separated from oxidants. Cool. Store only if stabilized. Airtight.

International Chemical Safety Cards 4-VINYLCYCLOHEXENE ICSC: 1177 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance can form explosive peroxides. Reacts with oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV: 0.1 ppm; 0.4 mg/m3 (as TWA) A2 (ACGIH 1995-1996). ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes and the skin. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point: 130°C Melting point: -109°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.829 Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, kPa at 38°C: 3.4 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.7 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.09 Flash point: 16°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 269°C Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.93

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA	In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation takes place, specifically in fish.
