Emergency overview of Trimethylacetyl chloride
Trimethylacetyl chloride(CAS NO:3282-30-2) is Dangerous, Flammable liquid and vapor. It is Water-reactive. Harmful if swallowed. Causes burns by all exposure routes. Toxic if inhaled. Target Organs: Respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye burns. Lachrymator (substance which increases the flow of tears).
Skin: Causes skin burns. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns.
Inhalation: Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Toxic if inhaled. May cause burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Chronic: No information found.
First Aid Measures of Trimethylacetyl chloride
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid immediately. Call a poison control center.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Fire Fighting Measures
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Water reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Flammable liquid and vapor. Water hydrolyzes material liberating acidic gas which in contact with metal surfaces can generate flammable and/or explosive hydrogen gas.
Accidental Release Measures of Trimethylacetyl chloride
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Wear a self contained breathing apparatus and appropriate personal protection. (See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section). Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Do not expose spill to water. Do not get water inside containers. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.
Handling and Storage of Trimethylacetyl chloride
Handling: Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not get Trimethylacetyl chloride in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep Trimethylacetyl chloride away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage: Keep Trimethylacetyl chloride away from sources of ignition.Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables area. Water free area.
