Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Vapors cause irritation of eyes and respiratory tract. Liquid irritates eyes and skin, may cause dermatitis. (USCG, 1999)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]: TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. (ERG, 2016)

Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

For immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If victim is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Organic bases\amines and related compounds

Persistence and degradability

Biodegradation is expected to be an important environmental fate for this compound(SRC). Using a standard BOD dilution technique and an activated sludge inoculum, a theoretical BOD of 56% was observed during a 14 day incubation period(1). Using standard BOD dilution techniques and activated sludge inocula, theoretical BOD values of 41% to 56% were observed during a 14 day incubation period following a 6 day acclimation period(2). Based on 14 day BOD data, hexamethylene diamine is considered biodegradable(3). Following a 3 day acclimation period, 90% biodegradation of hexamethylene diamine in an activated sludge inoculum was observed during a 6 day incubation period, with an average COD of 26% per day(4). Degradation rates of 4% and 10% were observed for hexamethylene diamine (50 ppm) incubated in water from the Mino River, Japan and seawater off the coast of Japan over a 3 day incubation period(5). A theoretical oxygen demand between 20 and 60% was observed for hexamethylene diamine in a Warburg apparatus during a 5 day incubation period(6).

Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF value of 1 was calculated for hexamethylene diamine(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.35(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Mobility in soil

Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 286(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that hexamethylene diamine is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).

Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Disposal methods

Other Information

The substance may exist as solid or liquid depending on ambient temperature.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.The recommendations on this Card also apply to Hexamethylenediamine solution, 70-80 %, UN No. 1783.
