Causes burns. 4 - First Aid Measures AFTER INHALATION If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. AFTER EYE CONTACT Assure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers. AFTER INGESTION If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician. 5 - Fire Fighting Measures EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Suitable: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, or appropriate foam. Unsuitable: Water may be effective for cooling, but may not effect extinguishment. SPECIAL RISKS Specific Hazard(s): Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions. Explosion Hazards: Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Container explosion may occur under fire conditions. Forms explosive mixtures in air. SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIREFIGHTERS Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. 6 - Accidental Release Measures PERSONAL PRECAUTION PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN CASE OF LEAK OR SPILL Evacuate area. Shut off all sources of ignition. PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S) Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots, and heavy rubber gloves. METHODS FOR CLEANING UP Cover with dry-lime, sand, or soda ash. Place in covered containers using non-sparking tools and transport outdoors. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete. 7 - Handling and Storage HANDLING Directions for Safe Handling: Do not breathe vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. STORAGE Conditions of Storage: Keep tightly closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Store in a cool dry place. 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection ENGINEERING CONTROLS Safety shower and eye bath. Use only in a chemical fume hood.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition may produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. 11 - Toxicological Information SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE Material is extremely destructive to tissue of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, eyes, and skin. Inhalation may result in spasm, inflammation and edema of the larynxand bronchi, chemical pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema. Prolonged contact can cause: To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated. ROUTE OF EXPOSURE Skin Contact: Severe irritation or burns. Multiple Routes: Harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. 12 - Ecological Information No data available. 13 - Disposal Considerations SUBSTANCE DISPOSAL Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly flammable. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental regulations. 14 - Transport Information RID/ADR UN#: 2685 Class: 8 PG: II Proper Shipping Name: N,N-Diethylethylenediamine IMDG UN#: 2685 Class: 8 PG: II ALDRICH - 126942 www.sigma-aldrich.com Page 3 Subrisk: 3 EmS Number: 8-04 MFAG Number: 320 Proper Shipping Name: N,N-DIETHYLETHYLENE DIAMINE Marine Pollutant: No Severe Marine Pollutant: No IATA UN#: 2685 Class: 8 PG: II Subrisk: 3 Proper Shipping Name: N,N-Diethylethylenediamine Inhalation Packing Group I: No 15 - Regulatory Information CLASSIFICATION AND LABELING ACCORDING TO EU DIRECTIVES INDICATION OF DANGER: C Corrosive.
