Product Name: Ethyleneamine E-100 (E-100)

Product Description

Ethyleneamine E-100 (CAS #00068131-73- 7)
is a mixture of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA),
pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA), hexaethyleneheptamine
(HEHA), and higher molecular weight
products. E-100 is a complex mixture
of various linear, cyclic, and branched products
with a number-average molecular weight
of 250-300 g/mole.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

In order to maintain the high degree of purity with
which Ethyleneamine E-100 (E-100) is manufactured and
shipped, the following storage and handling
considerations are recommended:

Dry Inert Gas Blanket

This product should be stored under a dry inert gas
blanket, such as nitrogen, to minimize contamination resulting
from contact with air and water.

Materials of Construction

If slight coloration of the ethyleneamine is acceptable, storage
tanks may be made of carbon steel
or black iron, provided they are free of rust and
mill scale. However, if the amine is stored in such
tanks, color may develop due to iron contamination. If
iron contamination cannot be tolerated, tanks
constructed of types 304 or 316 stainless steel
should be used. (Note: Because they are quickly
corroded by amines, do not use copper, copper
alloys, brass, or bronze in tanks or lines.) Recommended
storage construction for E-100 is stainless
steel or carbon steel.

Storage Temperature

Ethyleneamine E-100 (E-100) has a pour point of
-21°C. To avoid freezing, the product
should be maintained above this
temperature. At temperatures below
5°C, viscosity becomes so high that the
product cannot be easily pumped.

Spills or Leaks

Small spills should be covered with inorganic absorbents
and disposed of properly. Organic absorbents
have been known to ignite when contaminated with
amines in closed containers. Certain
cellulosic materials used for spill cleanup such
as wood chips or sawdust have shown reactivity with
ethyleneamines and should be avoided. Large
spills should be contained and recovered. Water
may be used for clean-up purposes, but avoid
disposing of the material into sewers or natural water
bodies. Disposal should be in accordance with
all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and
ordinances. Ethyleneamine leaks will frequently be
identified by the odor (ammoniacal) or by
the formation of a white, solid, waxy substance (amine carbamates). Inorganic absorbents or water
may
be used to clean up the amine waste.

TOXICITY AND SAFETY

Because of the fragility of eye tissue, almost any
eye contact with any ethyleneamine may cause irreparable
damage, even blindness. A single, short exposure
to ethyleneamines, may cause severe skin burns,
while a single, prolonged exposure may result in
the material being absorbed through the skin in
harmful amounts. Exposures has caused allergic skin
reactions in some individuals. Single dose oral
toxicity of ethyleneamines is low. The oral LD50 for rats is in the range of 1000 to 4500 mg/kg
for
the ethyleneamines. The principal
hazards that arise in working with
Ethyleneamine E-100 (E-100) are those associated with
similar organic amines; namely, a corrosive
action on skin and eyes. Precautions should
be taken to prevent contact with these parts of
the body such as by use of protective clothing and
chemical goggles. If contact occurs, immediately flush
the exposed area with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes. Eye exposures should be examined
by a physician. Contaminated clothing should
be laundered before reuse. If ingestion occurs, do
not induce vomiting. Have the individual drink
a large amount of water (or milk, if it is readily
available) and transport them to a medical facility
immediately. A Material Safety Data
Sheet for Ethyleneamine E-100
(E-100) may be obtained on request
from any Huntsman Corp sales office. The CAS
No. forEthyleneamine E-100 (E-100) is #00068131-73-7.
