    Pyridine is a colorless to slightly yellow, flammable liquid with a fish-like odor. It has a boiling point of 115°C and is soluble in water. Pyridine is stable but can decompose when heated, producing toxic gases. It is a fire and explosion hazard due to its flammability and should be stored away from heat, sparks and oxidizing agents. Exposure can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory tract and cause liver and kidney damage. Proper protective equipment should be worn when handling it.

    Name: Pyridine Synonyms: Azabenzene, Azine Formula: C5H5N Chemical Family: Aromatic Heterocycle M.W.: 79.10

    DOT Proper Shipping Name: Pyridine DOT Identification No.: UN1282 CAS No.: 110-86-1 DOT Hazard Class: Flammable Liquid

    Section II: Physical Properties


    Appearance: Colorless to slightly yellow liquid Vapor Pressure @ 20C: 18mmHg Vapor Density (air=1): 2.7 Stability: Stable Boiling Point: 115C Percent Volatile by Volume: ca 100 Melting Point: -42C Odor: Fish-like odor Specific Gravity (H2O=1): 0.98 Water Reactive: n/a Solubility in H2O: Soluble Melting Point: -42C Evaporation Rate (BuAc =1): ca 8

    Section III: Reactivity Hazard Data


    Stable material, hazardous polymerization is not expected to occur. Conditions to avoid: Heat, sparks, open flame, open containers, poor ventilation. Materials to avoid: Strong oxidizing agents and strong acids, acid chlorides, and chloroformates. Hazardous decomposition products: Incomplete combustion can generate cyanide, nitrogen oxide, ammonia, and other toxic vapors. Thermal decomposition: May produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.

    Section IV: Fire and Explosion Hazard Data


    Flash Point: 19C 68F Autoignition temperature: 899F 481C Flammable Limits in air % by volume: Lower limit: 1.8 Upper limit: 12.4 Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol or polymer foam. Water may be effective for cooling, but may not extinguish any fire. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Heat will build pressure and may rupture closed storage containers. Keep fire-exposed containers cool with water spray. Vapors may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Volatile and flammable.

    Section V: Hazardous Ingredients

    ca 100%

    Occupational Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL=8H TWA 5ppm ACGIH TLV-TWA = 5ppm;STEL=10ppm IDLH=1,000ppm

    Section VI: Toxicity and Health Hazard Data


    See Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS). Primary routes of entry: inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion. Inhalation: Irritation of respiratory tract, nausea, dizziness, headache, and depression of the central nervous system. Ingestion: Gastrointestinal tract discomfort and systemic effects to the liver and kidneys. Eye contact: Liquid and high vapor concentration can be irritating; high concentration may cause corneal damage. Skin contact: Prolonged or repeated exposure can cause moderate to severe dermatitis though defatting of skin. Material is rapidly absorbed through skin to cause effects similar to inhalation. Chronic exposure: Overexposure may cause liver and kidney damage. Eye and mucous membrane irritant, primary skin irritant, and central nervous system depressant. Target Organs: Liver, kidneys, nerves, bone marrow, eyes, and skin.

    Emergency First Aid: Ingestion: Call local poison control center. Get emergency medical assistance. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to a victim who is unconscious or having convulsions. Eye contact: Rinse with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get emergency medical assistance. Skin contact: Flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Wash affected skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothes and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes. Get emergency medical assistance. Inhalation: Immediately remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get emergency medical assistance.

    Section VII: Special Protection


    Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is required to control vapors and odor. Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator equipment. Follow NIOSH and equipment manufacturer's recommendations to determine appropriate equipment. Skin Protection: Protective gloves and clothing is recommended. The choice of material must be based on chemical resistance and other user requirements. Individuals who are acutely and specifically sensitive to pyridine may require additional protective equipment. Eye Protection: Laboratory safety glasses are minimum protection. Goggles and faceshield are preferred. Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the vicinity of any potential exposure. Ground and bond metal containers to minimize sparks.

    Section VIII: Spill and Disposal Procedures


    If a spill occurs, protect from ignition. Evacuate area. Ventilate area of spill. Wear rubber boots, heavy rubber gloves and use self-contained breathing apparatus. Absorb spilled material in an absorbent recommended for solvent spills. Place in covered containers using non-sparking tools. If released to the environment, comply with all regulatory notification requirements. Waste Disposal: Dispose as an EPA hazardous waste. Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Exert extra care in igniting, as this material is highly flammable.
