– Methylamine, anhydrous appears as a colorless gas or a liquid. Pungent fishy odor resembling odor of ammonia. The liquid boils at cold temperatures, hence it vaporizes rapidly when unconfined. Vapors are heavier than air and may collect in low-lying areas. Easily ignited under most conditions. Under prolonged exposure to intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Used for making pharmaceuticals, insecticides, paint removers, surfactants, rubber chemicals. [1] CAMEO Chemicals
– Methylamine, aqueous solution appears as a colorless to yellow aqueous solution of a gas. Odor ranges from fishlike to ammonia-like as the vapor concentration increases. Flash point (of 30% solution) 34 °F. Corrosive to skin and eyes. Less dense than water; vapors 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: Immediately flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.[1]
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air at once. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention. Eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Physician should examine eyes if irritation or pain persists after 15 minutes. Skin: Exposed area should be washed twice with soap and water. Physician should examine exposed area if pain or irritation persist after area is washed. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting or perform gastric lavage. Do not attempt to neutralize. Dilute with water or milk in copious amounts. (USCG, 1999)[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 food and feedstuffs, strong acids, oxidants, aluminium, copper, zinc, zinc alloys and mercury. Keep in a well-ventilated room.[3]
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Storage class (TRGS 510): 3: Flammable liquids (methylamine solution 30-50%)[6]
They are extremely flammable products that should be stored in a well-ventilated area and protected from fire risk. (methylamines)[6]

Incompatibilities

Incompatible materials: Acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, oxidizing agents, chloroformates, phosphorus halides (methylamine solution 30-50%)[6]
A medium strong base. Reacts violently with strong acids, mercury, strong oxidizers, nitromethane. Corrosive to copper, zinc alloys, aluminum, and galvanized surfaces.[6]
Forms an explosive mixture with nitromethane.[6]
May react with acids, oxidizing materials, chlorine, hypochlorite, halogenated compounds, reactive organic compounds and some metals, and mercury and nitrosating compounds.[6]
