GHS Hazard Statements: H225 (98.2%): Highly Flammable liquid and vapor [Danger Flammable liquids]; GHSDanger; H304 (98.2%): May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways [Danger Aspiration hazard]; H315 (98.1%): Causes skin irritation [Warning Skin corrosion/irritation]; GHSWarning; H319 (11.5%): Causes serious eye irritation [Warning Serious eye damage/eye irritation]; H336 (97.4%): May cause drowsiness or dizziness... n-Hexane is a chemical made from crude oil. Pure n-Hexane is a colorless liquid with a slightly disagreeable odor. It is highly flammable, and its vapors can be explosive. Puren-Hexane is used in laboratories. Most of then-Hexane used in industry is mixed with similar chemicals called solvents. The major use for solvents containing n-Hexane is to extract vegetable oils from crops such as soybeans. These solvents are... Hexane is used to extract edible oils from seeds and vegetables, as a special-use solvent, and as a cleaning agent. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure of humans to high levels of hexane causes mild central nervous system (CNS) effects, including dizziness, giddiness, slight nausea, and headache. Chronic (long- term) exposure to hexane in air is associated with polyneuropathy in humans, with numbness in the extrem... INHALATION causes irritation of respiratory tract, cough, mild depression, cardiac arrhythmias. ASPIRATION causes severe lung irritation, coughing, pulmonary edema; excitement followed by depression. INGESTION causes nausea, vomiting, swelling of abdomen, headache, depression. (USCG, 1999) Behavior in Fire: Vapors may explode (USCG, 1999) |
