Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: -20 deg C.
Danger! Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Breathing vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. May cause eye and skin irritation.
Target Organs: Central nervous system.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause mild eye irritation. Vapors may cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause irritation with burning pain, itching and redness. Not expected to cause an allergic skin reaction. A single prolonged skin exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed in harmful amounts.
Ingestion: Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May cause central nervous system depression.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of vapors may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for a t least 15 minutes. Get medical aid.
Skin: In case of contact, flush skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops and persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Potential for aspiration if swallowed. Get medical aid immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Liquid will float and may reignite on the surface of water. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause flash fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media: Water may be ineffective. This material is lighter than water and insoluble in water. The fire could easily be spread by the use of water in an area where the water cannot be contained. Do NOT use straight streams of water. For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Flash Point: -20 deg C ( -4.00 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 245 deg C ( 473.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:1.3
Upper: 8.0
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 3; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.

Ecotoxicity: Fish: Fathead Minnow: LC50 = 117.0 mg/L; 96 Hr.; Static conditionsFish: Bluegill/Sunfish: LC50 = 34.72 mg/L; 96 Hr.; 25 degrees CWater flea Daphnia: EC50 = 400.00 mg/L; 48 Hr.; UnspecifiedBacteria: Phytobacterium phosphoreum: EC50 = 227.00 mg/L; 5, 30 minutes; Microtox test No data available.
Environmental: Atmospheric Fate: Cyclohexane is expected to partition to the atmosphere where it will rapidly react with hydroxyl radicals. TERRESTRIAL FATE: If released on land, cyclohexane will be lost through volatilization and should leach into the ground. Cyclohexane is resistant to biodegradation but may biodegrade slowly in the presence of other hydrocarbons that are themselves degraded. AQUATIC FATE: Volatilization from water (estimated half-life 2 hr in a model river) should be the most important fate process occuring in aquatic systems.
Physical: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: In the atmosphere, cyclohexane will degrade by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals (half-life 52 hr). The half-life is much faster under photochemical smog conditions with half-lives as low as 6 hr being reported.
Other: No experimental data are available on the bioconcentration of cyclohexane in aquatic organisms. Using the octanol/water partition coefficient, 3.44, one can estimate a BCF of 242 using a recommended regression equation.
