2,4,5-TRICHLOROPHENOXYPROPIONIC ACID, ISOOCTYL ESTER

White solids. Primary hazard is to threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit spread to the environment. Burn, though may be difficult to ignite. Used as herbicides and plant growth regulators.

none

Slightly soluble in water.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Emits noxious fumes, including chloride.

Behavior in Fire: May liberate hydrogen chloride. (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: Vapors or mists may be irritating to nose and throat. EYES: Mild irritation. SKIN: Irritation-slight to moderate. INGESTION: Weakness, lethargy, anorexia, diarrhea, spasticity, possible death due to ventricular fibrillation and subsequent cardiac arrest. (USCG, 1999)

Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

Excerpt from 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:

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)

Excerpt from 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:

SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.

LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. Dike runoff from fire control for later disposal.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:

Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent dust cloud. For Asbestos, avoid inhalation of dust. Cover spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Do not clean up or dispose of, except under supervision of a specialist.

SMALL DRY SPILL: With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area.

SMALL SPILL: Pick up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal.

LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. (ERG, 2020)

Rubber gloves and boots, safety goggles or face mask, protective clothing and a NIOSH approved respirator. (USCG, 1999)

Call a physician.

INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air, if needed administer artificial respiration.

EYES: Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.

INGESTION: Induce vomiting and administer gastric lavage. (USCG, 1999)
