4.First-aid measures

4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures

General advice

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.

If inhaled

Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.

In case of skin contact

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

In case of eye contact

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

If swallowed

Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention .

4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Respiration is the most likely route by which 2,2,4-trimethylpentane is absorbed. Although it has not been determined, the respiratory uptake of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane is probably similar to that seen for n-octane. Oral absorption of (14)C-2,2,4-trimethylpentane has been reported ... to occur to the extent of 86% in male rats based on recovery of radioactivity in urine, expired organics, and expired (14)C-carbon dioxide. Dermal bioavailability has not been reported, but absorption of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane through the skin would be expected to be minor based on percutaneous results reported for n-heptane and n-octane. Oral gavage studies ... in male rats with (14)C-2,2,4-trimethylpentane (0.5 mg/kg, single dose) revealed that the radioactivity is selectively distributed in the kidneys 72 hr after administration. It has been suggested that the renal retention of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane is related to the hydrocarbon-induced nephropathy observed specifically in male rats.

5.Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. CAUTION: For mixtures containing alcohol or polar solvent, alcohol-resistant foam may be more effective. SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not use straight streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)

5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemical

Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. Substance may be transported hot. For hybrid vehicles, ERG Guide 147 (lithium ion batteries) or ERG Guide 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. If molten aluminum is involved, refer to ERG Guide 169. (ERG, 2016)

5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

6.Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

6.2 Environmental precautions

Evacuate danger area! Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus. Remove all ignition sources. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Pick up and arrange disposal. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

7.Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Skin protection

Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

Flammable, dangerous fire riskThe vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated.Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as ISOOCTANE, may be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid. Charring of the hydrocarbon may occur followed by ignition of unreacted hydrocarbon and other nearby combustibles. In other settings, aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons are mostly unreactive. They are not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents.

12.2 Persistence and degradability

BRANCHED OCTANES ... 2,2,4-TRIMETHYLPENTANE ... USED AS THE SOLE CARBON SOURCES BY A VARIETY OF MICROORGANISMS, SUCH AS PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS, CORYNEBACTERIUM, & P. OLEOVORANS.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

Based upon a water solubility of 2.44 mg/L at 25°C(1), the log bioconcentration factor for iso-octane has been estimated to be 2.57 from a regression equation(2). This value indicates bioconcentration may be important in aquatic organism(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The adsorption of several hydrocarbons including iso-octane in five types of soil was studied by measuring the retention volumes(1). Hydrocarbon retention by dry soils increased with molecular weight and unsaturation and decreased with branching. The retention volume of iso-octane was found to be high, but the authors did not provide any Koc values. The log Koc for iso-octane in soil has been estimated to be 3.43 from the water solubility of the compound(4) and a regression equation(2). The average log Koc for this compound in sediments from a salt marsh, a pond and a river was 4.35. Therefore, iso-octane is expected to generally remain strongly adsorbed to soil and sediments(5,SRC).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
