PENTAETHYLENEHEXAMINE

Yellowish liquid with an odor of ammonia. (USCG, 1999)

none

Water soluble.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as amine vapors, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire.

Behavior in Fire: Containers may rupture when overheated. (USCG, 1999)

Contact with eyes can cause slight to moderate irritation and possible burns. May cause transient fogging of the eyes as a result of corneal edema, which is reversible. May cause moderate skin irritation or allergic skin reaction with symptoms of redness, itching, swelling, or rash. Vapors may irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract. May cause coughing, headache, nausea and vomiting. If swallowed, may cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. May cause burns of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach. (USCG, 1999)

PENTAETHYLENEHEXAMINE 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. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Excerpt from 153 [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)

Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Do not use water.

Fire Extinguishing Agents: Alcohol foam, sand, dry chemical, or CO2. (USCG, 1999)

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If you spill this chemical, use absorbent paper to pick up all liquid spill material. Seal the absorbent paper and any clothing which may have been contaminated in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash contaminated surfaces with a strong 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 keep this chemical in a tightly closed container under an inert atmosphere and store it in a freezer. (NTP, 1992)

Wear chemical protective gloves. Wear full face shield or chemical safety goggles. Use approved respirator to protect against vapors. (USCG, 1999)

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)
