– Ethylamine appears as a colorless liquid or a gas (boiling point 62 °F) with an odor of ammonia. Flash point less than 0 °F. Density of liquid 5.7 lb / gal. Corrosive to the skin and eyes. Vapors are heavier than air. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. Exposure of the closed container to intense heat may cause it to rupture violently and rocket. [1] CAMEO Chemicals
– Ethylamine, aqueous solution, with not less than 50% but not more than 70% ethylamine appears as an aqueous solution of a gas. Odor ranges from fishlike to ammonia-like as the vapor concentration increases. Corrosive to skin and eyes. Less dense than water. Vapors are heavier than air. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. [1] CAMEO Chemicals

First aid

Eyes: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. Immediately transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. Skin: Caution: Exposure of skin to compressed gases may result in freezing of the skin. Treatment for frostbite may be necessary.[1]
Excerpt from ERG Guide 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]: Refer to the "General First Aid" section. Specific First Aid: For corrosives, in case of contact, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 30 minutes. Additional flushing may be required. In case of burns, immediately cool affected skin for as long as possible with cold water. Do not remove clothing if adhering to skin. (ERG, 2024)[1]
General First Aid: · Call 911 or emergency medical service. · Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and avoid contamination. · Move victim to fresh air if it can be done safely. · Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. · If victim is not breathing: -- DO NOT perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; the victim may have ingested or inhaled the substance. -- If equipped and pulse detected, wash face and mouth, then give artificial respiration using a proper respiratory medical device (bag-valve mask, pocket mask equipped…[10]

Storage

Fireproof. Cool.[3]
Fireproof. Cool. Well closed. Separated from acids and oxidants.[3]
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Storage class (TRGS 510): Gases[6]
Ethylamine must be stored to avoid contact with strong acids (such as hydrochloric, sulfuric and nitric), or strong oxidizers (such as chlorine and bromine) because violent reactions occur. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat. Sources of ignition such as smoking and open flames are prohibited where methylamine is handled, used, or stored. Metal containers involving the transfer of 5 gallons or more of ethylamine should be grounded and bonded. Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters.[6]

Incompatibilities

Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents, nickel, copper, strong acids, zinc. Ethylamine, anhydrous is packaged in steel cylinders. Cool to 0 °C before opening. Incompatible with silver, mercury and brass.[6]
The aqueous solution is a strong base. Forms explosive mixture with air. Reacts violently with strong acids, strong oxidizers, cellulose nitrate, and organic compounds causing fire and explosion hazard. Also incompatible with organic anhydrides, isocyanates, vinyl acetate, acrylates, substituted allyls, alkylene oxides, epichlorohydrin, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, glycols, phenols, cresols, caprolactum solution. Attacks nonferrous metals: Aluminum, copper, lead, tin, zinc and alloys, some plastics, rubber and coatings.[6]
Incompatible with cellulose nitrate or oxidizers.[6]
Strong acids; strong oxidizers; copper, tin and zinc in presense of moisture; cellulose nitrate; chlorine; hypochlorites.[6]
