General Description
A clear liquid with a pungent odor. Water insoluble and less dense than water. Hence floats on water. (USCG, 1999)
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Contain poisonous oxides of nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
Behavior in Fire: Produces poisonous gases. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Inhalation causes weakness, reduction in respiratory rate, coma, gradual respiratory failure, and mild cyanosis (high concentrations). Causes severe irritation of the eyes. Ingestion may produce cyanosis. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
2-METHYL-6-ETHYL ANILINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides.
