=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:No    IARC:No	OSHA:No
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
    burns, difficulty breathing, lung congestion LONG TERM EXPOSURE:
    same as effects reported in short term exposure SKIN CONTACT: SHORT
    TERM EXPOSURE: burns, blisters LONG TERM EXPOSURE: same as effects
    reported in short term exposure EYE CONTACT: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE:
    irritation (possibly severe), blurred vision LONG TERM EXPOSURE:
    eye damage INGESTION: SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: burns, sore throat,
    vomiting, digestive disorders, difficulty breathing LONG TERM
    EXPOSURE: same as effects reported in short term exposure
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid: INHALATION: If adverse effects occur, remove to
    uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing.
    If breathing is difficult, oxygen should be administered by
    qualified personnel. Get immediate medical attention. SKIN CONTACT:
    Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while
    removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get immediate medical
    attention. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes
    before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes. EYE CONTACT: Immediately
    flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get
    immediate medical attention. INGESTION: Never make an unconscious
    person vomit or drink fluids. Give large amounts of water or milk.
    DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, keep head lower than
    hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn
    head to side. Get medical attention immediately. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
    For inhalation, consider oxygen.   Avoid gastric lavage or emesis.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:30 F (-1 C) (CC)
Lower Limits:2.2%
Upper Limits:22%
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water,
    regular foam, alcohol resistant foam Large fires: Use regular foam
    or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
    done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
    after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Withdraw
    immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
    any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank
    truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Water may be
    ineffective.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:Severe fire hazard. The vapor is heavier
    than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources
    and flash back. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive above flash point.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources
    of ignition. Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible
    without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. Small
    spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect
    spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Large
    spills: Dike for later disposal. Remove sources of ignition. Keep
    unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Neutralizing Agent:

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:Protect from physical damage. Keep
    separated from incompatible substances. Avoid heat, flames, sparks
    and other sources of ignition. Store outside or in a detached
    building. Store with flammable liquids.
Other Precautions:

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:Under conditions of frequent use or heavy
    exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory
    protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider
    warning properties before use. Any chemical cartridge respirator
    with organic vapor cartridge(s). Any chemical cartridge respirator
    with a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s). Any
    air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor
    canister. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to
    Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with full facepiece
    and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode
    in combination with a separate escape supply. Any self-contained
    breathing apparatus with a full facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ensure compliance
    with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an
    emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the
    immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
    clothing.
Supplemental Safety and Health
 N-AMYLAMINE: No occupational exposure limits established.
