What are the synonyms, physical, and chemical properties of Heptane?
Heptane is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild odor. It is highly flammable with a boiling point of approximately 193°F and a flash point of about 16°F. The product has low viscosity, low density, a high evaporation rate, and is insoluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air and can form explosive mixtures with air.
What safety precautions should be taken when handling Heptane?
Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. Avoid breathing vapors and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective gloves, eye protection, face protection, and appropriate protective clothing. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed and seek immediate medical attention. Store containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area.
What are the appropriate engineering controls for Heptane?
Use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to prevent accumulation of flammable vapors. Employ explosion-proof electrical, lighting, and ventilation equipment. Ground and bond containers and transfer equipment to prevent static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools in handling areas.
