Verwenden2-Methylcyclohexanone can be used as solvent, lacquers.It has been suggested for use in soap perfumes, industrial fragrances, masking odors, etc. where its power and stability come to use. It may give "lift" to woody soap perfumes and add power to spicy-herbaceous fragrances, but its proper odor is not exactly beautiful.

TLV Basis is liver effects and CNS impairment. TLV-TWA is 20 ppm for Methylcyclohexanone (mixture of the 3 isomers), CAS number 1331-22-2. Causes liver toxicity in feeding study of rats. [ACGIH] A skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritant; [CAMEO]
Permissible Exposure Limit: Table Z-1 8-hr Time Weighted Avg: 100 ppm (460 mg/cu m). Skin designation.
Vacated 1989 OSHA PEL TWA 50 ppm (230 mg/cu m); STEL 75 ppm (345 mg/cu m), skin designation, is still enforced in some states.
Excerpt from NIOSH Pocket Guide for o-Methylcyclohexanone:
(General first aid procedures)
Incineration
Spray into the furnace. Incineration will become easier by mixing with a more flammable solvent.
SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.
The worker should immediately wash the skin when it becomes contaminated.
Work clothing that becomes wet or significantly contaminated should be removed and replaced.

IT HAS LOW TOXICITY FROM ABSORPTION THROUGH SKIN.
METHYLCYCLOHEXANONE IS NOT CONSIDERED A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IN INDUSTRY; ITS CHIEF POTENTIAL IS /CNS DEPRESSION/ @ HIGH CONCN & IRRITATION @ LOWER LEVELS.
Nervous system disturbances - /CNS depression/

Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact.
...TLV OF 100 PPM SHOULD PROTECT AGAINST NARCOTIC EFFECTS, BUT...IN ORDER TO PREVENT EYE & RESP IRRITATION /ALSO/...TLV OF 50 PPM IS RECOMMENDED.
