General Description
Clear liquid with a mild sweet odor. Sinks in and mixes slowly with water. (USCG, 1999)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating and toxic hydrogen fluoride and oxides of nitrogen may form in fires. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Inhalation or ingestion causes bluish tint to fingernails, lips and ears indicative of cyanosis; headache, drowsiness, and nausea, followed by unconsciousness. Liquid can be absorbed through skin and cause similar symptoms. Contact with eyes causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
2-FLUOROANILINE is a base. Neutralizes acids to form salts plus water in an exothermic reaction. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)

Response Recommendations

Isolation and Evacuation
Excerpt from 153 Polymerizable warning [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]:

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 the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind direction, as necessary.

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, 2020)
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Water, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
Excerpt from 153 Polymerizable warning [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. (ERG, 2020)
Protective Clothing
Rubber gloves; chemical goggles; protective clothing; approved respirator. (USCG, 1999)

First Aid
INHALATION: Remove victim from exposure immediately; if needed, administer oxygen; refer to physician.

EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 min.

SKIN: Remove victim from exposure immediately; remove contaminated clothing; wash contacted area with copious amounts of water and soap; if needed, administer oxygen; refer to physician.

INGESTION: Induce vomiting; get medical attention. (USCG, 1999)
