OSHA Hazards: Irritant. Hazardous by definition of Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
HMIS (Perceived): Health hazard: 2, Flammability: 1, Reactivity: 0, Personal Protection: E
NFPA (Perceived): Health hazard: 0, Fire: 1, Reactivity Hazard: 0, Protective Equip: Goggles, Lab Coat.

Ingredient: Butylated Hydroxytoluene, BHT
CAS No.: 128-37-0, (126-37-0) **
EINECS: EC Number: 204-881-4
Percent: 97 - 100%

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.

Flammability of the Product: May be combustible at high temperature.
Auto-Ignition Temperature: 470C (878F).
Flash Points: CLOSED CUP: 118.3C (244.9F).
Products of Combustion: Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, fumes.
Fire: Flammable in the presence of open flame.
Explosion: Slightly explosive in presence of heat.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures or when moistened under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes. On decomposition it may emit hydrogen chloride. Containers may explode on heating

Small Spill: Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing dust. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Large Spill: Avoid touching the spilled material. Do not let the product enter drains. Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Do not contaminate the environment.

Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention.
Keep Butylated Hydroxytoluene, BHT in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage.

Airborne Exposure Limits: Although upto 1omg/m3 is prescribed in some regulations, limit it to 2mg/m3.
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls are not feasible, a particulate respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Other Control Measures: Maintain good housekeeping in work area. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands after handling.

pH: NA
Density: 1.03 - 1.05 g/mL at 20C (68F)
Molecular Weight: 220.2
Molecular Formula: C15H24O

Stability: Butylated Hydroxytoluene, BHT is stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: It emits Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide & Fumes.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, reducing agents metals and acids.
Conditions to Avoid: Incompatibles and moisture.
Phenols are incompatible with strong reducing substances such as hydrides, nitrides, alkali metals, and sulfides.
Avoid use of aluminum, copper and brass alloys in storage and process equipment.
Heat is generated by the acid-base reaction between phenols and bases.
Phenols are sulfonated very readily (for example, by concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature), these reactions generate heat.
Phenols are nitrated very rapidly, even by dilute nitric acid.
Nitrated phenols often explode when heated. Many of them form metal salts that tend toward detonation by rather mild shock.
Segregate from oleum, nitric acid and chlorosulfonic acid.
