Composition/information on ingredients Substance/mixture : Substance Chemical name : mono-Methylamine, gas Other means of : Methanamine (methylamine) identification Product code : 001034 CAS number/other identifiers CAS number : 74-89-5 Ingredient name % CAS number mono-methylamine 100 74-89-5 Any concentration shown as a range is to protect confidentiality or is due to batch variation. There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require reporting in this section. Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8. Section 4. First aid measures Description of necessary first aid measures Eye contact : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. Inhalation : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours. Date of issue/Date of revision : 11/18/2019 Date of previous issue : 2/20/2018 Version : 1.02 2/12 Methylamine Section 4. First aid measures Skin contact : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. To avoid the risk of static discharges and gas ignition, soak contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. In case of contact with liquid, warm frozen tissues slowly with lukewarm water and get medical attention. Do not rub affected area. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. Ingestion : Get medical attention immediately. Call a poison center or physician. Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Chemical burns must be treated promptly by a physician. Ingestion of liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite. If frostbite occurs, get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. As this product rapidly becomes a gas when released, refer to the inhalation section. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Potential acute health effects Eye contact : Causes serious eye damage. Liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite. Inhalation : Harmful if inhaled. Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Skin contact : Causes skin irritation. Dermal contact with rapidly evaporating liquid could result in freezing of the tissues or frostbite. Frostbite : Try to warm up the frozen tissues and seek medical attention. Ingestion : Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. Ingestion of liquid can cause burns similar to frostbite. Over-exposure signs/symptoms Eye contact : Adverse symptoms may include the following:, pain, watering, redness, frostbite Inhalation : Adverse symptoms may include the following:, nausea or vomiting, headache, drowsiness/fatigue, dizziness/vertigo, unconsciousness Skin contact : Adverse symptoms may include the following:, pain or irritation, redness, blistering may occur, frostbite Ingestion : Adverse symptoms may include the following:, frostbite, stomach pains Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary Notes to physician : In case of inhalation of decomposition products in a fire, symptoms may be delayed. The exposed person may need to be kept under medical surveillance for 48 hours. Specific treatments : No specific treatment. Protection of first-aiders : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. If it is suspected that fumes are still present, the rescuer should wear an appropriate mask or self-contained breathing apparatus. It may be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it, or wear gloves. See toxicological information (Section 11) Section 5. Fire-fighting measures Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing : Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. media Unsuitable extinguishing : None known. media Date of issue/Date of revision : 11/18/2019 Date of previous issue : 2/20/2018 Version : 1.02 3/12 Methylamine Section 5. Fire-fighting measures Specific hazards arising : Contains gas under pressure. Extremely flammable gas. In a fire or if heated, a from the chemical pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along the ground. Gas may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back, causing fire or explosion. Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials: decomposition products carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen oxides Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Contact supplier immediately for specialist advice. Move containers from fire area if
