Chemical Properties
CLEAR COLORLESS TO PALE YELLOWISH LIQUID |
|
General Description
A colorless liquid. Insoluble in water. A marine pollutant. Poses a threat to the aquatic environment. Immediate steps should be taken to prevent spread to the environment. May penetrate soils and contaminate groundwater and nearby waterways. Mildly irritates the eyes and skin. |
|
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water. |
|
Reactivity Profile
Butyl butyrate reacts with acids to liberate heat along with butyl alcohol and butyric acid. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. May attack some forms of plastics [USCG, 1999]. |
|
Health Hazard
Inhalation or ingestion causes headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and narcosis. Contact with liquid irritates eyes. |
|
Fire Hazard
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot. |
