Date August 1978 <br /> SECTION 1. MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION <br /> MATERIAE. NAMF,: ETHYL BENZENE <br /> OTHER DESIGNATIONS: Phenylethane, Ethylbenzol, C2H5C6HS, CASiO 000 100 414 <br /> MANUFACTURER: Available from several suppliers. <br /> SECTION EI. INGREDIENTS AND HAZARDS Y HAZARD DATA <br /> Ethyl Benzene ca 100 8-hr TWA 100 ppm* <br /> *Current OSHA permissable exposure level. A Standard Human, inhalation <br /> " was proposed by OSHA in October 1975 which includes TCLo 100 ppm for <br /> an action level of 50 ppm, and detailed requirements 8 hr (irritation) <br /> of monitoring, medical surveillance, employyee train- Rat Oral LD50 <br /> i ing, etc., when exposure exceeds SO ppm. It has not 3500 mg/kg <br /> L--yet issued as a legal requirement. <br /> SECTION III , PHYSICAL DATA <br /> Boiling Point at 1 aim, deg C -- 136 Specific gravity 20/4C ------- 0.867 <br /> Vapor pressure at 25.4 C, mm Hg - 10 Volatiles, 2ca 100 <br /> Vapor density (Aird) ------- 3.66 Evaporation rate (BuAc-l) ----- cl <br /> Water solubility at 20 C Wt. X - 0.015 Melting point, deg C ---------- -94 <br /> Molecular weight ---- - 106.16 <br /> Appearance 6 Odor: Clear, colorless liquid with an aromatic hydrocarbon odor. <br /> SECTION IV. FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA LDgER UPPER <br /> Flash Point sad Method k4toigniticn Tem Flammabili[ Limits In Air <br /> - 59 F (15 C) (closed tap $l0 F (432 Cj Volume Z 1.0 6.7 <br /> Extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide,.dry chemical or "alcohol" foam. A water spray <br /> y be ineffective co put out fire, but may be used to tool fire--xpoeed container . <br /> A stream of water can spread fire of burning liquid. <br /> This is a flammable licuid (OSPA Class IB) which can readily form explosive mixtures <br /> with air, especially when heated. Heavier-than-air vapors can flow along surfaces <br /> to reach distant ignition sources and then flash back. Firefiihters should use <br /> self-`contained breathing equipment and eye protection to fight fires in enclosed <br /> laces. <br /> SECTION V, REACTIVITY DATA <br /> This material is stable in storage in closed containers at room temperature. It <br /> does not polymerize. <br /> This flammable materia] should be kept separated from oxidizing agents, strong acids <br /> and bases and ammonia. Thermal-oxidative degradation can produce toxic products, <br /> including carbon monoxide. <br /> { <br /> GENIUM PUBLISHING <br /> 4 <br />
