General Description
A water-white to pale-yellow liquid with an alcohol-like odor. About the same density as water. Flash point 170°F. Contact may irritate or cause burns.
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Soluble in water. Reacts with water to form butanol and titanium dioxide, the reaction is not generally thought to be hazardous.
Fire Hazard
Combustible. Containers may explode in fire. May give off dense white smoke. Containers may explode. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
LIQUID: Irritating to skin and eyes. If swallowed will cause nausea and vomiting. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Organometallics are strongly reactive with many other groups. Incompatible with acids and bases. Organometallics are good reducing agents and therefore incompatible with oxidizing agents. Often reactive with water to generate toxic or flammable gases. Generally highly toxic. Often react on contact with tissues to give toxic products.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents
Use caution: Liquids with this reactive group classification have been
known to react with the

- Mineral-Based & Clay-Based Absorbents
Response Recommendations
Isolation and Evacuation
Excerpt from 132
[Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:
IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions.
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
Excerpt from 132
[Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:
Some of these materials may react violently with water.
SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam.
LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. Dike runoff from fire control for later disposal. Do not get water inside containers.
FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. 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. For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2020)
Non-Fire Response
Excerpt from 132
[Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material. For hydrazine, absorb with DRY sand or inert absorbent (vermiculite or absorbent pads). Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. (ERG, 2020)
Protective Clothing
Excerpt from ERG Guide 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer when there is NO RISK OF FIRE. Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides thermal protection but only limited chemical protection. (ERG, 2020)

First Aid
INHALATION: move from contaminated atmosphere; if symptoms of respiratory discomfort persist, see a physician.
EYES: immediately flush with large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes; obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
SKIN: immediately flush affected areas with water; obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
INGESTION: give large amounts of water or warm salty water to induce vomiting; if this measure is unsuccessful, vomiting may be induced by tickling the back of the patient's throat with a finger; vomiting should be encouraged until vomitus is clear; obtain medical attention if abdominal discomfort persists.
