Flammability: 4 - Ethyl Vinyl Ether is highly flammable with a low flash point, easily igniting even at ambient temperatures. Vapours, heavier than air, can travel long distances to ignition sources and cause flashbacks. Fires involving Ethyl Vinyl Ether are intense and challenging to extinguish. Firefighters should use foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical agents for firefighting and avoid water, which may spread the fire.
Health: 2 - Ethyl Vinyl Ether poses a moderate health hazard. Inhalation can irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughing, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, pulmonary edema. Contact with the liquid or vapour can irritate eyes and skin, causing redness, pain, and potential chemical burns. Prolonged exposure may affect the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, and unconsciousness. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection is essential to minimise exposure.
Reactivity: 2 - Ethyl Vinyl Ether has a reactivity rating indicating ‘no water’, meaning it can react violently and explosively with moisture. Contact with water or humidity can release flammable gases or initiate polymerisation, generating heat and pressure that may lead to explosions. Store Ethyl Vinyl Ether away from moisture sources and ensure tightly sealed containers to prevent accidental exposure.
It is absolutely essential to consult the safety data sheet before handling Ethyl Vinyl Ether. This is a highly hazardous substance for human health.
