International Chemical Safety Cards CYCLOHEXYL ACETATE ICSC: 0426 CYCLOHEXYL ACETATE Acetic acid, cyclohexyl ester Hexalin acetate Cyclohexanol acetate C8H14O2/CH3COOC6H11 Molecular mass: 142.2 CAS # 622-45-7 RTECS # AG5075000 ICSC # 0426 UN # 2243 TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS PREVENTION FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING FIRE Flammable. NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking. Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide. EXPLOSION Above 58°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed. Above 58°C use a closed system, ventilation. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.   EXPOSURE INHALATION Cough. Sore throat. Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. SKIN Dry skin. Redness. Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. EYES Redness. Pain. Safety spectacles. First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. INGESTION Drowsiness. Unconsciousness (further see Inhalation). Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth. Rest. Refer for medical attention. SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants.

International Chemical Safety Cards CYCLOHEXYL ACETATE ICSC: 0426 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. PHYSICAL DANGERS: CHEMICAL DANGERS: Reacts with strong oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV not established. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour or by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure at high level, if ingested, could cause lowering of consciousness. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The liquid defats the skin. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point: 177°C Melting point: -77°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.97 Solubility in water: immiscible Vapour pressure, kPa at 30°C: 0.93 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.9 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.08 Flash point: 58°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 334°C

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
N O T E S
Environmental effects from the substance have not been investigated adequately. Cyclohexylacetate is more narcotic and more lethal to animals at lower concentrations than other acetates but beeing of lower volatility, it is less hazardous from the industrial point of view. The relation between odour and the occupational exposure limit cannot be indicated. Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-571 NFPA Code: H1; F2; R0
