CAS#	Chemical Name	Percent	EINECS/ELINCS
108-93-0	Cyclohexanol	98	203-630-6

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: colorless or slight yellow solid or liquid. Flash Point: 68 deg C.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. May cause central nervous system depression. Material is a solid at room temperature that melts upon moderate heating into a combustible liquid with a flash point below 200°F(93.3°C). Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Central nervous system, respiratory system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation. Instilled into the eye of the rabbit, moderately severe irritation and corneal injury, which was reversible, occurred. (Doc of TLV)
Skin: Causes skin irritation. If absorbed, may cause central nervous system effects. In a 48-hour closed patch test using 4% cyclohexanol in petrolatum, there was evidence of erythema or edema in human subjects. Dermal toxicity data from animals indicate that a Skin notation is appropriate to minimize the potential for skin irritation as well as dermal absorption leading to central nervous system effects. (Doc of TLV)
Ingestion: May cause central nervous system depression, characterized by excitement, followed by headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Advanced stages may cause collapse, unconsciousness, coma and possible death due to respiratory failure.
Inhalation: Inhalation of high concentrations may cause central nervous system effects characterized by nausea, headache, dizziness, unconsciousness and coma. Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. Prolonged exposure may cause non-specific nervous system effects.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Material is a solid at room temperature that melts upon moderate heating into a combustible liquid with a flash point below 200°F(93.3°C).
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Flash Point: 68 deg C ( 154.40 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 300 deg C ( 572.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.4% by vol
Upper: N/A
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 2; Instability: 0

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from heat and flame.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits.
Exposure Limits

Chemical Name	ACGIH	NIOSH	OSHA - Final PELs
Cyclohexanol	50 ppm TWA; Skin - potential significant contribution to overall exposure by the cutaneous r oute	50 ppm TWA; 200 mg/m3 TWA 400 ppm IDLH	50 ppm TWA; 200 mg/m3 TWA
