PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Yellowish to amber pellets, powder or flakes or beige powder. Slight odor. (NTP, 1992)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
This chemical may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to moisture. Insoluble in water.
Fire Hazard
This chemical is combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Health Hazard
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation of the eyes, nose, mouth, throat, lungs and stomach. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may result in irritation. Eye contact may result in tearing, reddening and swelling. Inhalation may result in runny nose, sneezing, coughing and chest discomfort.

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound may cause irritation of the eyes. Upon prolonged or repeated exposure it may cause irritation of the skin. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, methane gas and acetone vapors. (NTP, 1992)
Reactivity Profile
Accelerated stability studies indicate that 1,2-DIHYDRO-2,2,4-TRIMETHYLQUINOLINE POLYMER is unstable when stored at 140°F for 2 weeks, protected from light. Acetone solutions are stable for 3 weeks in the dark at room temperature. Solutions in acetone stored for 3 hours open to air and light are also stable. This chemical is incompatible with concentrated nitric acid and strong oxidizers. (NTP, 1992)
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)

Firefighting
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)
Non-Fire Response
SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: Should a spill occur while you are handling this chemical, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with 60-70% ethanol and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with 60-70% ethanol to pick up any remaining material. Seal the absorbent paper, and any of your clothes, which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: You should store this chemical under ambient temperatures, and protect it from moisture and light. If possible, it would be prudent to store this compound under inert atmosphere. (NTP, 1992)
Protective Clothing
RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-approved half face respirator equipped with an organic vapor/acid gas cartridge (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas and SO2) with a dust/mist filter. (NTP, 1992)

First Aid
EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.

INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing.

INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital if advised by a physician. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)
