Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated
location, away from any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or
detached storage is preferred. Separate from incompatibles. Containers

Airborne Exposure Limits:
For n-Amyl Acetate:
- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
100 ppm (TWA).
for Pentyl Acetate, all isomers:
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
50 ppm (TWA), 100 ppm (STEL)
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is
generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant
at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of
Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not
feasible, a half-face respirator with an organic vapor cartridge and
particulate filter (NIOSH type N95 or better filter) may be worn for up to
ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by
the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is
lowest. A full-face piece respirator with an organic vapor cartridge and
particulate filter (NIOSH N 100 filter) may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the
appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.
If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are
present, use a NIOSH type R or P particulate filter. For emergencies or
instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying
respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. This
compound possibly exists in both particulate and vapor phase. A
particulate (NlOSH type N95 or better) prefilter should be used for the
particulate. Where respirators are required, you must have a written
program covering the basic requirements in the OSHA respirator standard.
These include training, fit testing, medical approval, cleaning,
maintenance, cartridge change schedules, etc. See 29CFR1910.134 for
details.
Skin Protection:
Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat,
apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work
area.

12. Ecological Information
Environmental Fate:
When released into the soil, this material may leach into groundwater. When
released into the soil, this material is expected to have a half-life of
greater than 30 days. When released into water, this material is expected
to readily biodegrade. When released to water, this material is expected to
quickly evaporate. When released into the water, this material is expected
to have a half-life of less than 1 day. This material has an estimated
bioconcentration factor (BCF) of less than 100. This material has a log
octanol-water partition coefficient of less than 3.0. When released into
the air, this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction with
photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. When released into the air,
this material is expected to be readily removed from the atmosphere by wet
deposition. When released into the air, this material is expected to have a
half-life between 1 and 10 days.
Environmental Toxicity:
No information found.
13. Disposal Considerations
Whatever cannot be saved for recovery or recycling should be handled as
hazardous waste and sent to a RCRA approved incinerator or disposed in a
RCRA approved waste facility. Processing, use or contamination of this
product may change the waste management options. State and local disposal
regulations may differ from federal disposal regulations.
Dispose of container and unused contents in accordance with federal, state
and local requirements.
