2-CHLOROBUTANE Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic data. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, open flame (sparks), or oxidizers. To fight fire, use water, water spray, fog, mist, dry chemical, alcohol foam. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl⁻. See also CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, ALIPHATIC.
