Acetone
Specific hazards arising : Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
from the chemical In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the
risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along
the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
decomposition products carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in a segregated and approved area.
including any Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated
incompatibilities area, away from incompatible materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Eliminate
all ignition sources. Store locked up. Separate from oxidizing materials. Keep
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been
opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in
unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination. See Section 10 for incompatible materials before handling or use.

Acetone
Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
controls other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Possibility of hazardous : Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous reactions will not occur.
reactions
Conditions to avoid : Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame). Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat or sources of ignition. Do not
allow vapor to accumulate in low or confined areas.
