Hazard Identification

GHS Classification: Acute toxicity (oral, dermal, inhalation); severe skin irritation; eye irritation
Signal Word: Danger
Hazard Statements: Harmful if swallowed, in contact with skin or inhaled. Causes skin and serious eye irritation. May provoke respiratory discomfort.
Pictograms: Exclamation mark, health hazard symbol
Precautionary Statements: Avoid breathing vapors, use only with adequate ventilation, bring PPE for handling, wash hands thoroughly after use, keep away from food and drink

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Component: Enoyl Morpholine, 95%
Impurities: Residual morpholine, enoyl halide traces, possible hydrolysis byproducts
Other Additives: None typically present, but check supplier documentation

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately; avoid direct exposure to vapor. In case of difficulty breathing, seek medical attention without delay.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing at once. Rinse exposed skin using water and a mild soap. Non-stop irritation warrants medical consultation.
Eye Contact: Hold eyelids apart, flush with running water—a minimum of 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get medical assistance as soon as possible.
Notes To Doctor: Treat according to symptoms, supportive care only.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray, or alcohol-resistant foam
Hazards From Combustion: Produces hazardous gases like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and possibly other unknown toxic fragments
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full-body protective gear
Additional Tips: Keep containers cool by spraying with water to prevent pressure buildup or rupture

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Don chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, face shield, lab coat, and work in a ventilated space
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from reaching soil, water sources, and sewers. Report significant spills to local authorities
Cleanup Methods: Small spills—absorb with an inert material like sand or vermiculite, scoop up, seal in a chemical waste drum, label, and arrange for disposal
Decontamination: Wash area with plenty of water mixed with detergent; ventilate until odors dissipate

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Routine PPE for lab chemicals: nitrile gloves, chemical goggles, coat or apron, ideally under a fume hood. Avoid breathing vapors or allowing skin contact.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible substances (oxidizers, acids, bases). Avoid direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
Special Practices: Always label containers, restrict access to trained personnel, maintain a written chemical hygiene plan

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: Not fully established. Use control-band guidance for similar morpholine derivatives. TLV for morpholine: 20 ppm (ACGIH).
Engineering Controls: Chemical fume hood, forced dilution ventilation, safety shower, eyewash station
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, wrap-around chemical goggles, face shield, lab coat, appropriate footwear
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling. Wash hands and exposed areas frequently.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Liquid or crystalline solid, colorless to pale yellow depending on batch
Odor: Mild, fishy or amine-like
Odor Threshold: Not determined
pH: Tends toward mildly alkaline
Melting Range: Variable; refer to specific enoyl derivative
Boiling Range: Typically 180-220°C, highly variable with substituents
Flash Point: Estimated above 85°C
Solubility: Miscible or sparingly soluble in water, readily soluble in organic solvents (ethanol, chloroform, ether)
Vapor Pressure: Low at room temperature
Density: Approximately 1–1.2 g/cm³
Viscosity: Slightly viscous liquid, varies by formula

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under standard storage. Decomposes under strong acids/bases or heat.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, halogenating agents
Hazardous Decomposition: Nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, morpholine derivatives, uncharacterized fumes
Polymerization: Not expected to occur

Toxicological Information

Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion
Acute Effects: Respiratory irritation, skin burns, eye damage; ingestion may cause gastrointestinal upset, drowsiness, or severe discomfort.
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated contact causes dermatitis, risk for kidney or liver stress. Some derivatives of morpholine have shown carcinogenicity in animal studies—use great care.
LD50 Values: Estimates for mammals: Oral (rat) >1500 mg/kg. Not enough data for humans.
Sensitization: Not reported, but use caution.

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Expected toxic hazard to aquatic life. High persistence in waterways increases risk.
Persistence and Biodegradability: Biodegrades slowly; some breakdown in water with sunlight and aerobic bacteria
Bioaccumulation: Not enough data, but avoid release into environment
Mobility in Soil: Moderate—may contaminate groundwater if not contained
Additional Notes: Prevent bulk quantities from entering natural waterways, consult local water authorities

Disposal Considerations

Waste Treatment Methods: Treat as hazardous organic waste. Store in closed, labeled containers for pickup by certified chemical disposal vendor
Incineration: Suited for high-temperature incineration under controlled conditions
Environmental Precautions: Keep out of drains, soils, and open water. Do not mix with municipal solid waste
Container Disposal: Rinse thoroughly, triple rinse for plastics and glass before recycling, or treat as contaminated waste

Transport Information

UN Number: Check specific batch and supplier documentation
UN Proper Shipping Name: Organic liquid, n.o.s. (contains Enoyl Morpholine)
Transport Hazard Class: 6.1 (Toxic substances) if in hazardous concentrations
Packing Group: II or III depending on toxicity level
Marine Pollutant: Not determined, but treat as hazardous
Special Transport Precautions: Use certified packaging, handle as toxic chemical, follow all local, national, and international rules

Regulatory Information
