Cyclohexane

This safety data sheet provides information on cyclohexane and recommendations for safe handling and use. Cyclohexane is a highly flammable liquid that can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. It is toxic to aquatic life and may cause drowsiness or dizziness if inhaled. In the event of a fire, spill, or other accidental release, appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn and the area isolated until the vapor has dissipated.

Composition comments All concentrations are in percent by weight unless otherwise indicated.

4. First-aid measures
Inhalation Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a poison
center or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
Skin contact Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. If skin irritation
occurs: Get medical advice/attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion Call a physician or poison control center immediately. Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. If
vomiting occurs, keep head low so that stomach content doesn't get into the lungs.
Most important Aspiration may cause pulmonary edema and pneumonitis. Be aware that symptoms of chemical
symptoms/effects, acute and pneumonia (shortness of breath) may occur several hours after exposure. May cause drowsiness
delayed and dizziness. Headache. Nausea, vomiting. Irritation of eyes. Exposed individuals may
experience eye tearing, redness, and discomfort. Skin irritation. May cause redness and pain.
Indication of immediate Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Thermal burns: Flush with water
medical attention and special immediately. While flushing, remove clothes which do not adhere to affected area. Call an
treatment needed ambulance. Continue flushing during transport to hospital. Keep victim under observation.
Symptoms may be delayed.
General information Take off all contaminated clothing immediately. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the
material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Wash contaminated clothing
before reuse. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may
be used for small fires only.
Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
media
Specific hazards arising from Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
the chemical of ignition and flash back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become
electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can
occur. To reduce potential for static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding procedures.
This liquid may accumulate static electricity when filling properly grounded containers. Static
electricity accumulation may be significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water
or other contaminants. Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. During fire, gases
hazardous to health may be formed. Combustion products may include: carbon oxides.

Special protective equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
and precautions for firefighters
Fire fighting In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
equipment/instructions so without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
General fire hazards Highly flammable liquid and vapor.

6. Accidental release measures


Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Eliminate all
protective equipment and ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate
emergency procedures protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist/vapor. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate
closed spaces before entering them. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination. Transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank or other
suitable container for recovery or safe disposal. Local authorities should be advised if significant
spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep
containment and cleaning up combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Take precautionary measures
against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. The product is insoluble in water and will
spread on water surfaces. Prevent product from entering drains.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product
and place into a container for later disposal. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all
environmental releases. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into
drains, water courses or onto the ground. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.

7. Handling and storage


Precautions for safe handling Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect
material from direct sunlight. When using do not smoke. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust
ventilation. Minimize fire risks from flammable and combustible materials (including combustible
dust and static accumulating liquids) or dangerous reactions with incompatible materials. Handling
operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to: mixing,
filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container
filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Take
precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product
must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Observe
good industrial hygiene practices.
Conditions for safe storage, Store locked up. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Prevent electrostatic charge
including any incompatibilities build-up by using common bonding and grounding techniques. Eliminate sources of ignition. Avoid
spark promoters. Ground/bond container and equipment. These alone may be insufficient to
remove static electricity. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in tightly closed
container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep in an area equipped with sprinklers. Store away
from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
