HEPTYL 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.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke and fumes. (USCG, 1999)

Not Classified

Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Water may be ineffective. Fire Extinguishing Agents: Alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or water spray. (USCG, 1999)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet). FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]: ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. (ERG, 2016)

Self-contained breathing apparatus, rubber boots and rubber gloves. (USCG, 1999)

practically nontoxic

May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. Irritating to eyes, skin, and mucous membrane. (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: Call a physician. Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. EYES: Flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. SKIN: Wash skin with soap and water. (USCG, 1999)
