Transcription

1 GPS Safety Summary 1,7-Octadiene This Product Safety Summary is intended to provide a general overview of the chemical substance in the context of ICCA Global Product Strategy. The information on the summary is basic information and is not intended to provide emergency response information, medical information or treatment information. Substance name 1,7-Octadiene CAS-No.: General statement 1,7-Octadiene is used as a monomer and crosslinking agent for polymers and as an intermediate in the production of chemicals. Application fields are the manufacture of plastics products and large scale chemicals in closed systems in industrial settings. Thus, consumer risk and exposure is unlikely. The environmental effects, ecotoxicology and toxicology information available for 1,7-octadiene is provided based on studies and/or a reliable evaluation of its hazardous properties. General and substance specific operational conditions and risk management measures are in place preventing exposure to workers and release to the environment. Chemical identity Name 1,7-Octadiene Chemical name (IUPAC) Octa-1,7-diene CAS number EC number Molecular formula C8H14 Evonik Industries I March 2014 Version 001 page 1/6

2 Structure Chemical characterization Synonyms organic Octadiene-1,7 Uses and application 1,7-Octadiene is used as a monomer and crosslinking agent for polymers and as an intermediate in the production of chemicals. Application fields are the manufacture of plastics products and large scale chemicals in closed systems in industrial settings. Physical/chemical properies 1,7-Octadiene is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with an intense odor at standard temperature with a density 0.73 g/cm³, which is lower than that of water. The substance has a high vapor pressure and is highly flammable. The solubility in water is very low at mg/l. Property Value Form(s) liquid Physical state liquid Color colorless to slightly yellow Odor intense Density 0.73 g/cm 3 (20 C) Melting/boiling point <-20 C / 115 C (101.3 kpa) Explosive properties non explosive Flash point 9 C (101.3 kpa) Auto-ignition temperature 240 C Vapor pressure 25 hpa (25 C) Molecular weight g/mol Water solubility mg/l (25 C) Octanol-water partition log Kow (Pow) 4.0 (25 C) coefficient Surface tension not surface active Health effects 1,7-Octadiene has a very low acute toxicity by oral and dermal exposure. The substance is not irritating to the eye and the skin and is also not a skin sensitizer. The substance is also not mutagenic / clastogenic. Health effects Effect Assessment Acute toxicity (oral, dermal and inhalation) Result very low toxicity after a single ingestion and single skin contact March 2014 Version 001 page 2/6

3 Irritation/corrosion not irritating to the eye, Skin/eye/respiratory tract not irritating to the skin Sensitization not sensitizing Mutagenicity / clastogenicity not mutagenic / not clastogenic Toxicity after repeated no data exposure Toxicity for reproduction no data Environmental effects Based on available data for the substance, 1,7-Octadiene is very toxic to aquatic organisms (acute as well as with long lasting effects). The product is inherently biodegradable and has no potential to bioaccumulate. Environmental effects Effect Assessment Aquatic toxicity Result Very toxic to aquatic life (also with long lasting effects) Fate and Behavior Biodegradation Bioaccumulation potential PBT/vPvB conclusion Result inherently biodegradable no bioaccumulation expected not considered to be either PBT or vpvb Exposure Human health Worker: 1,7-Octadiene is used as a monomer and crosslinking agent for polymers and as an intermediate in the production of chemicals. Application fields are the manufacture of plastics products and large scale chemicals in closed systems in industrial settings. Worker exposure to this chemical in the manufacturing facilities is low because the process, storage and handling operations are enclosed. Specific operational conditions and risk management measures assure limited workplace exposures. These practices include handling with good ventilation. All workers are trained in the safety measures of handling the substance including using personal protective equipment. A qualitative exposure assessment of the worker has been performed as the available data do not provide quantitative dose-response information. The occupational use of this substance is considered to be safe for the worker following the recommended safety measures given in the safety data sheet. Consumer: Consumers will most probably not come in contact with 1,7-Octadiene. March 2014 Version 001 page 3/6

4 Environment Application fields are the manufacture of plastic products and large scale chemicals in closed systems in industrial settings therefore, no significant exposure to the environment is expected. Exposure to the environment has been assessed. Any exposure from generally be lower than concern levels. Risk management recommendations Provide good ventilation or extraction. Wear personal protective equipment. Use suitable respiratory protection with appropriate filter where aerosols/vapors are generated. Wear safety glasses with side-shields. Do not inhale vapors / aerosols and avoid contact with skin and eyes. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Take precautionary measures against static charges, keep away from sources of ignition. Explosion protection equipment required. Store in the original receptacle, keeping this tightly sealed, under cool and dry conditions. Keep in a well-ventilated place. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and with strong acids and bases.
