Product Name & Other Names: Benzyl Cyanide or Phenylacetonitrile or Benzylnitrile.
CAS No.: 140-29-4
EINECS EC No.: 205-410-5
4. First Aid Measures
Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Products of Combustion: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen oxides, Cyanides and fumes.
Explosion: May be explosive in presence of heat.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use dry powder or dry sand should be preferred. Do not use solid water stream. Flammable liquid and vapor. For small (incipient) fires, use media such as "alcohol" foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use large quantities (flooding) of water applied as a mist or spray. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Vapors can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Never direct a water jet in the container to prevent any splashing of the product which could cause spreading of the fire. Cool containing vessels with water jet to prevent pressure build-up, auto-ignition, or explosion.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material.
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment cleanup procedures and Storage:
Small Spill: Avoid mist formation. Avoid breathing mist/vapors. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill: Remove all sources of ignition. Provide proper ventilation. Keep people away from upwind of spill/leak. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off. Absorb the material on a porous, inert material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Carefully sweep up the material without causing dust. Dispose it of in accordance with local regulations.
Large spillages should be contained by use of sand or another inert material. The spillage should be transferred to a suitable container and recovered or disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Because of the danger of spontaneous combustion, any combustible material, such as cloth, used for cleaning spillages, should be saturated with water, and disposed of promptly, preferably by incineration.
7. Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surfaces.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Do not leave the material container open. Store protected from light, heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor. Do not store with incompatible materials like oxidizing agents, Strong acids, Strong bases, Reducing agents. Store locked up.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Airborne Exposure Limits: Not Established.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full-face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
