International Chemical Safety Cards para-TOLUIDINE ICSC: 0343 para-TOLUIDINE 4-Amino-1-methylbenzene 4-Aminotoluene p-Methylaniline C7H9N/C6H4CH3NH2 Molecular mass: 107.2 CAS # 106-49-0 RTECS # XU3150000 ICSC # 0343 UN # 1708 EC # 612-024-00-4 TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING FIRE Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. NO open flames. NO contact with nitric acid. Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide. EXPLOSION Above 86°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. Above 86°C use a closed system, ventilation. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.   EXPOSURE PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! INHALATION Blue lips or finger nails. Blue skin. Confusion. Dizziness. Headache. Laboured breathing. Nausea. Shortness of breath. Unconsciousness. Weakness. Local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration if indicated. Refer for medical attention. SKIN MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Blue lips or fingernails. Blue skin (further see Inhalation). Protective gloves. Protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. Refer for medical attention. EYES Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. Safety goggles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION Blue lips or fingernails. Blue skin. Dizziness. Headache. Laboured breathing (further see Inhalation). Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Sweep spilled substance into sealable container. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place (extra personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus). Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids, food and feedstuffs. Cool. Dry. Well closed. Ventilation along the floor. Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

International Chemical Safety Cards para-TOLUIDINE ICSC: 0343 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS FLAKES , TURNS DARK ON EXPOSURE TO AIR AND LIGHT. PHYSICAL DANGERS: CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Reacts violently with oxidants, especially nitric acid. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV: 2 ppm; 8.8 mg/m3 (as TWA) A2 (skin) (ACGIH 1994-1995). ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes and the skin. The substance may cause effects on the blood, bladder and kidneys , resulting in tissue lesions and formation of methaemoglobin. Exposure to high concentrations may result in damage to kidneys and bladder. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated. See Notes. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood , resulting in formation of methaemoglobin (see Notes). PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point: 200°C Melting point: 44-45°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.05 Solubility in water: poor Vapour pressure, kPa at 42°C: 0.13 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.9 Flash point: 86-87°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 482°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.1-6.6 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.39

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
N O T E S
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated. Specific treatment is necessary in case of poisoning with this substance; the appropriate means with instructions must be available. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT take working clothes home. Also consult ICSC # 0341, ortho-Toluidine and 0342, meta-Toluidine.
