Respirator Recommendations. NIOSH. Up to 750 ppm: (APF = 10) Any chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge (s) (APF = 50) Any air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front- or back-mounted organic vapor canister.
Physical dangers. The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated. Chemical dangers Reacts violently with strong oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Attacks many plastics. Formula: C 7 H 1 6 / CH 3 (CH 2) 5 CH 3
Other hazards. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapour heavier than air, may form an explosive mixture in air: it may be ignited at some distance away from the spill resulting in flashbacks. Flowing product can create electrostatic charge, resulting sparks may ignite or cause an explosion.
The Hazard fields include special hazard alerts air and water reactions, fire hazards, health hazards, a reactivity profile, and details about reactive groups assignments and potentially incompatible absorbents.
Danger. Highly flammable liquid and vapor. May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. Causes skin irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness.
n-Heptane is defined as the zero point of the octane rating scale. It is a lighter component in gasoline, burns more explosively, causing engine pre-ignition in its pure form, as opposed to octane isomers, which burn more slowly and give less knocking.
