Skin Contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Get immediate medical help if skin shows burns.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention for breathing issues.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get immediate medical assistance.
Delayed Effects: Respiratory tract irritation, chemical conjunctivitis, potential pulmonary edema.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Media: Water jets can spread burning material
Fire Hazards: Vapors ignite easily. Forms explosive mixtures with air above flash point. Releases toxic nitrogen oxides and ammonia under fire conditions.
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Fire Fighting Advice: Move containers from area if safe. Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray. Stay upwind. Avoid inhalation of fumes and runoff.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected people. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, apron, and positive pressure respirator.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to sewers and waterways. Notify authorities if spill threatens environment.
Methods for Clean-Up: Stop leak if safe to do so. Absorb spilled material with non-combustible absorbents (sand, vermiculite). Place in labeled containers for disposal. Ventilate area.
Decontamination: Wash spill site thoroughly with water after material pickup.
Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Prevent formation of aerosols and vapors. Wash exposed skin after handling.
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep away from sources of ignition, heat, strong acids, and oxidizing agents. Store below 25°C. Keep container upright and tightly sealed.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizers, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides
Other Precautions: Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits for 1-hexylamine; keep exposure as low as possible.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or process enclosure to minimize airborne exposure. Use only in chemical fume hood if available.
Personal Protective Equipment: Splash-proof goggles, full face shield, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), impervious clothing, chemical-resistant boots, supplied-air or cartridge respirator for vapor protection.
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke during use. Remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly after work.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Nitrogen oxides, ammonia, carbon oxides, hydrocarbons.
Other Risks: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. Sensitive to static discharge.
Acute Toxicity (oral): LD50 (rat): 650 mg/kg; causes vomiting, abdominal pain, central nervous system depression.
Acute Toxicity (dermal): LD50 (rabbit): 880 mg/kg; pronounced skin irritation, possible burns.
Acute Toxicity (inhalation): LC50 data not precise, but high vapor concentrations are harmful.
Skin Irritation: Severe irritation, risk of burns, allergic dermatitis.
Eye Irritation: Causes serious damage, possible blindness.
Sensitization: No data available.
Chronic Toxicity: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause tissue destruction and respiratory tract damage.
Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.

Bioaccumulation: Low potential based on log Kow.
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions.
Other Risks: Can raise local pH and harm aquatic species. Vapors may contribute to atmospheric reactivity.
Environmental Fate: If released to soil or water, can volatilize and degrade relatively quickly, but spills cause harmful impact before breakdown.
Waste Handling: Collect and containerize waste for disposal by licensed chemical disposal contractor.
