General Description
Colorless liquid with an odor of turpentine. Flash point 101°F. Floats on water.
Reactivity Profile
ETHYLIDENE NORBORNENE(16219-75-3) may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, may undergo exothermic addition polymerization reactions.
Air & Water Reactions
Flammable. Insoluble in water.
Health Hazard
Inhalation of vapors causes headache, confusion, and respiratory distress. Ingestion causes irritation of entire digestive system. Aspiration causes severe pneumonia. Contact with liquid causes irritation of eyes and skin.
Potential Exposure
5-Ethylidene-2-norbornene is used as
the third monomer in terpolymer elastomers. Those
engaged in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals; pesticides, or
in the preparation of specialty resins.
Fire Hazard
This chemical is flammable.
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
UN1993 Flammable liquids, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 3;
Labels: 3-Flammable liquid, Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities
May form explosive mixture with air.
Reacts violently with strong oxidants. Violent reaction with
oxygen and strong oxidizers. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its vapors. The substance may polymerize. Inhibit peroxide formation with
tert-butyl catechol. ENB should be stored in a nitrogen
atmosphere since it reacts with oxygen
