Cyclopentene

Other Classes -> Aliphatics, Unsaturated

Flammable agents - 3rd degree

Cyclopentene appears as a colorless liquid. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Flash point below 0 °F. Vapors heavier than air. Inhalation of high concentrations may be narcotic. Used to make rubber and plastics.

Cyclopentene: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act requires public and private employers to provide information about hazardous substances at their workplaces. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.)

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Vapor may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. Explosion may occur under fire condition. (USCG, 1999)

· HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.

May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. May cause eye and skin irritation. (USCG, 1999)

CAUTION: Petroleum crude oil (UN1267) may contain TOXIC hydrogen sulphide gas.

May polymerize; High vapor concentrations may have narcotic effects; [CAMEO] May cause smarting and reddening of skin if spilled and allowed to remain on clothes; High vapor concentrations may cause mild smarting of eyes and respiratory system, dizziness, and loss of consciousness; [CHRIS] An irritant that can cause skin burns on prolonged contact; [FAHG] May form explosive peroxides; An irritant; Harmful by ingestion (may cause lung damage by aspiration); Inhalation may cause dizziness or drowsiness; Harmful by ingestion and skin absorption; [Alfa Aesar MSDS] See 1-Pentene.

CYCLOPENTENE may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, may undergo exothermic addition polymerization reactions.

· CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.

· ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.

INHALATION: Call a physician. If inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
