PERSONAL SAFETY, FIRST AID AND STORAGE AND HANDLING
See the Material Safety Data Sheet for product specific information.

Accidental Release Measures

Note: Review fire fighting measures and handling (PERSONNEL) Sections before proceeding with clean up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean up. Soak up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent material. Remove source of heat, sparks, flame, impact, friction, or electricity. Dike spill. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or low areas.

RMC-103   Material Safety Data Sheet

Composition / Ingredient Information

        Material                           CAS Number              %
N, N-Dimethylcyclohexylamine         98-94-2        99-100

Hazardous Identification

Potential Health Effects
Skin contact with the product may cause skin burns or ulceration. Significant skin permeation and systemic toxicity after contact appears unlikely. There are no reports of human sensitization. Eye contact may cause eye corrosion with cornea or conjunctival ulcerations. Inhalation may include irritation of the upper respiratory passages; temporary lung irritation effects with cough, discomfort, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. N,N-Dimethylcylohexylamine is very toxic by ingestion. Ingestion may include severe burns of the mouth and tissues of he upper gastrointestinal tract with severe pain, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, and collapse of blood pressure; or nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache, or weakness. No adequate epidemiological studies are available for this compound.

Carcinogenicity Information
None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by iarc, ntp, osha or ACGIH as a carcinogen.

First Aid Measures

Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.

Skin Contact
Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eye Contact
In case of contact immediately, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.

Ingestion
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Allow victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink 2-4 cupfuls of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician.

Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400-ml water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 ml/kg or 350 ml for an average adult.

Because of the danger of aspiration, emesis or gastric lavage should not be employed unless the risk is justified by the presence of additional toxic substances. Activated charcoal may induce vomiting, but may be given after emesis or lavage to absorb toxic additives. Steroid therapy in mild to moderate cases does not improve outcome. Bacterial pneumonia often occurs after exposure, but prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated and should be reserved for documented bacterial pneumonia.
