Indene
- Indonaphthene
Indene | |
| |
| Formula | C9H8 |
| Structure | |
| Description | Colorless liquid. |
| Uses | Used as a comonomer in coumarone and petroleum-derived aromatic hydrocarbon resins. Technical pure indene is used for the production of indan and its derivatives. Esters of indene-1-carboxylic acid, which are effective as acaricides, can be synthesized from indene for use in, eg, collars. |

| Hazards and Protection. | |
| Storage | Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a tightly closed container. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Refrigerator (approx 4 C). |
| Handling | Wash thoroughly after handling. Use only in a well ventilated area. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. |
| Protection | Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. |
| Respirators | A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary. |
| Small spills/leaks | Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. |
| Disposal code | 1 |
| Stability | Oxidizes when exposed to air. Stable. However may polymerize explosively if heated to the melting point. |
| Incompatibilities | Oxidizing agents |
| Decomposition | Carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon dioxide. |

| Fire fighting | Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible Liquid. To extinguish fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. | |||
| Fire potential | Deflagrates on heating. Indene picrate | |||
| Hazards | Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. | |||
| Combustion products | Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. | |||
| Health. | |
| Exposure limit(s) | NIOSH REL: TWA 10 ppm (45 mg/m3) |
| Exposure effects | May cause liver and kidney damage. Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. |
| Ingestion | May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause digestive tract disturbances. |
| Inhalation | May cause respiratory tract irritation. |
| Skin | May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. |
| Eyes | May cause eye irritation. |
First aid |
|
| Ingestion | Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. |
| Inhalation | Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. |
| Skin | Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. |
| Eyes | Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. |
