EC number: 270-147-5 | CAS number: 68411-76-7 The residuum from the distillation of the products from the air oxidation of cyclohexane. It consists of alcohols, acids and lactones having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C4 through C6.
Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration. Induce
artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper
respiratory medical device. Get medical attention immediately.
Skin contact:
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid
spreading material on unaffected skin. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Call a physician or poison control centre immediately.
Ingestion
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward to
reduce risk of aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or is having
convulsions. If material is ingested, immediately contact a physician or poison control centre.
Fire-fighting measures
General fire hazards
Irritating and toxic gases or fumes may be released during a fire.
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Upon decomposition, this product emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand
breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.
Special fire fighting procedures: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers / tanks with water spray. Stay upwind.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel: Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained.
For emergency responders: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Do
not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further spillage if safe to do so.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Eliminate all sources of ignition or flammables that may come into contact with a spill of this material.
Large Spills: Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Following product
recovery, flush area with water.
Never return spills in original containers for re-use.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep this material away from food, drink and animal feed. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Appropriate engineering controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels. Provide eyewash station.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information: Wear suitable protective equipment. Eye wash fountain is recommended.
Eye/face protection: Wear eye/face protection. Wear chemical goggles.
Wear chemical splash goggles and face shield when the possibility exists for eye and face contact due to splashing or spraying of material.
Skin protection:
- Hand protection: Chemical resistant gloves.
- Other: Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
Respiratory protection: Use a positive-pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Protection provided by air purifying
respirators is limited.
Thermal hazards: None known.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after
handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
Environmental exposure controls: Contain spills and prevent releases and observe national regulations on emissions.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity: The product is stable and non-reactive under normal conditions of use, storage and transport.
Chemical stability: Stable at normal conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions: Not expected to occur.
Conditions to avoid: Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources.
Incompatible materials: Incompatible with oxidising agents.
Hazardous decomposition products: Decomposes on heating.
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Residual waste: Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. Empty containers or liners may retain some product residues. This material and its
container must be disposed of in a safe manner (see: Disposal instructions).
Contaminated packaging: Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste handling site for recycling or disposal. Since emptied containers may retain product residue, follow label warnings even after container is emptied. Do not re-use empty containers.
