General Description
Clear to faintly opalescent liquid. Used as a monomer for resins, as an oil additive, ore flotation agent; and dye acceptor.
Reactivity Profile
PYRIDINE, 2-METHYL-5-VINYL-neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. Can polymerize exothermically. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Health Hazard
This material is moderately toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and absorption through the skin.
Potential Exposure
2-Methyl-5-vinylpyridine is used as a
monomer for resins; oil additive; ore flotation agent; and
dye acceptor.
Fire Hazard
When heated to decomposition, PYRIDINE, 2-METHYL-5-VINYL-emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. (Non-Specific--Combustible Liquid, n.o.s.) Flammable/combustible material; may be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Container may explode in heat of fire.
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.

Incompatibilities
Can polymerize exothermically. May
form explosive mixture with air. 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, epoxides, hydrides and
other strong reducing agents. 2-Methyl-5-vinylpyridine neutralizes
