II | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic by
ingestion. A skin and eye irritant. A very
dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat
or flame; can react vigorously with oxidizing
materials. Keep away from heat and open
flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO2,
dry chemical. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes. See also ETHERS.

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
A clear colorless liquid with an ethereal odor. Flash point 40°F. Less dense than water. Vapors heavier than air. | [Reactivity Profile]
Ethers, such as ETHYL BUTYL ETHER(628-81-9), can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Highly flammable. Slightly soluble in water. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick 1979. p.151-154, 164]. A mixture of liquid air and diethyl ether exploded spontaneously [MCA Case History 616. 1960]. | [Hazard]
Flammable, dangerous fire risk. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. | [Potential Exposure]
Used as a solvent for extraction and in
making other chemicals | [Fire Hazard]
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts
the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from
exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has
stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer
promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has
been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit | [Shipping]
UN1179 Ethyl butyl ether, Hazard Class: 3;
Labels: 3-Flammable liquid. | [Incompatibilities]
May form explosive mixture with air.
Heat or prolonged storage may cause the formation of unstable peroxides. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides. Attacks some plastics,
rubber and coatings. May accumulate static electrical
charges, and may cause ignition of its vapors. | [Description]
Ethyl butyl ether is a colorless liquid.Molecular weight = 102.21; Boiling point = 92℃;Freezing/Melting point = - 124℃; Flash point = 4℃.Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 M RatingSystem): Health 2, Flammability 3, Reactivity 0. Slightlysoluble in water. | [Chemical Properties]

Ethyl butyl ether is a colorless liquid | [Waste Disposal]
Dissolve or mix the material
with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal,
state, and local environmental regulations must be
observed. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies
for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators
of waste containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must
conform with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.

Flammable | [storage]
Color Code—Red: Flammability Hazard: Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with this chemical you should be trainedon its proper handling and storage. Store in tightly closedcontainers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers, heat, and sources of ignition. Where possible, automatically pump liquid from drums or other storage containersto process containers. Drums must be equipped with selfclosing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters.Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially whenopening and closing containers of this chemical. Sources ofignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibitedwhere this chemical is used, handled, or stored in a mannerthat could create a potential fire or explosion hazard.Wherever this chemical is used, handled, manufactured, orstored, use explosion-proof electrical equipment andfittings. | [Purification Methods]
Purify by drying with CaSO4, by passage through a column of activated alumina (to remove peroxides), followed by prolonged refluxing with Na and then fractional distillation. [Beilstein 4 IV 1518.] |
