General Description
Red powder.
Reactivity Profile
1-AMINO-2-METHYLANTHRAQUINONE(82-28-0) is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Forms salts with mineral acids .
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Potential Exposure
1-Amino-2-methylanthraquinone is used almost exclusively as a dye intermediate for the production of a variety of anthraquinone dyes. May be used as a dye for a variety of synthetic fibers, especially acetates, as well as wool, sheepskins, furs, and surface dyeing of thermoplastics. None of the dyes that can be prepared from it are presently produced in commercial quantities.1Amino-2-methylanthraquinone had been produced commercially in the United States since 1948, but production was last reported by a single company in 1970. The potential for exposure is greatest among workers engaged in the dyeing of textiles. 1-Amino-2-methylanthraquinone is not presently used in consumer products according to the CPSC.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, 1-AMINO-2-METHYLANTHRAQUINONE is probably combustible.
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 respiration 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 running 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 observation 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.

Chemical Properties
red powder
Uses
1-Amino-2-methylanthraquinone was used almost exclusively as a dyeand as an intermediate in the production of dyes. It was used as a dyefor synthetic fibers, furs, and thermoplastic resins. The only dyes derived from 1-amino-2-methylanthraquinone that were produced in the United States were C.I. acid blue 47, last produced in 1973, and
C.I. solvent blue 13, last produced in 1974 (IARC 1982, HSDB 2009).
Uses
