General Description
Colorless needles. Primarily used (along with salts such as 2,4-DIAMINOANISOLE(615-05-4) sulfate) as a component of hair & fur dye formulations.
Reactivity Profile
2,4-DIAMINOANISOLE is incompatible with the following: Strong oxidizers .
Potential Exposure
The principal use of 2,4-diamino-ani-
sole (and its salts such as the sulfate) as a component of
oxidation (permanent) hair and fur dye formulations.
Human exposure to 2,4-diaminoanisole sulfate may
possibly occur through skin absorption at chemical and dye
production facilities, as well as through dermal contact in
persons using hair dyes containing the chemical.
First aid
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency
medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not
breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respira-
tion with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and
isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact
with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with run-
ning water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact,
avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim
warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion,
or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that
medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved
and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical obser-
vation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing
overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed.
As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized
paramedic may consider administering a drug or other
inhalation therapy.

Incompatibilities
Incompatible with strong 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, and epoxides. The sulfate
may react violently with aluminum and magnesium.
