Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 130 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible / Noxious)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. 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. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG, 2016)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Environmental precautions
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
1. remove all ignition sources. 2. ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. for small quantities, absorb on paper towels. evaporate in a safe place (such as a fume hood). allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear the hood ductwork. burn the paper in a suitable location away from combustible materials.liquid sec-hexyl acetate should not be allowed to enter a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity

Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
MODERATE FIRE RISK.METHYLAMYL ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. This compound is incompatible with the following: Nitrates; strong oxidizers, alkalis & acids (NIOSH, 2016).
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Nitrates; strong oxidizers, alkalis and acids.
Hazardous decomposition products
Toxic gases and vapors (such as carbon monoxide) may be released in a fire involving sec-hexyl acetate.

Persistence and degradability
In aerobic screening tests using an unacclimated sewage seed, 4-methyl-2-pentyl acetate reached 20, 87, 62 and 69% of its theoretical BOD after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, respectively in freshwater(1). In aerobic screening tests using synthetic seawater with added raw wastewater, 4-methyl-2-pentyl acetate reached 11, 22, 52, and 67% of its theoretical BOD after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days, respectively(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 66 was calculated for 4-methyl-2-pentyl acetate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.7(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate, not high(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 4-methyl-2-pentyl acetate is estimated as approximately 700(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.7(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 4-methyl-2-pentyl acetate is expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
