Chemical Name: Acetone-d6
Chemical Formula: C3D6O
Synonyms: Deuterated acetone
CAS Number: 666-52-4
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Odor: Mild, sweet pungency
Classification: Flammable liquid, irritant
Main Health Hazards: Can irritate eyes, skin, respiratory tract
Environmental Risk: Contributes to local contamination if not properly managed
Exposure Routes: Inhalation, skin contact, eye contact, ingestion
Main Symptoms: Drowsiness, throat irritation, dizziness, headaches from inhalation; redness, pain upon skin or eye contact
Labels/Warnings: Flammable liquid and vapor, avoid ignition sources
Main Component: Acetone-d6, purity usually exceeds 99%
Impurities: Non-deuterated acetone, trace water
Inhalation: Move to fresh air as soon as possible, seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Rinse with water for several minutes, remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Flush eyes generously with water for at least ten minutes
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get medical help
Special Advice: Never leave the exposed person unattended, even if symptoms appear mild
Sensitive to ignition: Vapors form explosive mixtures with air, open flames should not come near
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powders
Fire-Specific Hazards: May emit hazardous fumes, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, deuterated byproducts
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing for firefighters
Firefighting Tactics: Cool adjacent containers with water spray to stop overheating
Personal Precautions: Remove ignition sources, ventilate area well, wear suitable gloves and protective gear
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways or drains, spillage can impact aquatic life
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with neutral inert material, collect in suitable containers for disposal
After Cleanup: Wash the area thoroughly with water to eliminate residue
Handling: Work with adequate ventilation, use spark-proof tools, avoid splashing and spilling
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, cool and dry location, protect from sunlight and incompatible substances like oxidizers
Separation: Keep away from acids, bases, or oxidizing agents
Precaution: Practice good industrial hygiene; wash hands after use
Control Methods: Ventilation like fume hoods or local extraction
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, laboratory coats, safety goggles
Respiratory Protection: Respirators only if ventilation is poor or in the event of large spills
Eye Irritation Prevention: Splash-proof goggles or face shield
Skin Protection: Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure
Physical State: Liquid
Color: Colorless
Odor: Subdued, resembles commercial acetone
Boiling Point: 55-57°C
Melting Point: Around -95°C
Vapor Pressure: Substantial at room temperature
Solubility: Miscible with water and many organic solvents
Density: Slightly greater than regular acetone owing to deuterium
Stability: Chemically stable under typical storage conditions
Reactivity: Can react with strong oxidizing agents, acids, or bases
Hazardous Byproducts: Burning may produce toxic carbon oxides
Polymerization: Not reported under normal conditions
Acute Toxicity: Effects on humans are much like acetone, including central nervous system depression
Inhalation Risks: High vapor levels can harm the respiratory system or cause headaches
Skin/Eye Issues: Prolonged contact could bring on dry, cracked skin or eye redness
Chronic Exposure: Limited data, but regular use without protection isn’t recommended
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogenic by IARC or NTP
Aquatic Harm: Can be toxic to fish or aquatic animals if released in quantity
Persistence/Degradability: Expected to break down in the environment, but may persist where volumes are high
Bioaccumulation: Not expected due to volatility and solubility in water
Wastewater Treatment: High concentrations can disrupt microbial activity
Waste Handling: Gather and label as hazardous chemical waste
Disposal Method: Take to a licensed chemical disposal facility; avoid pouring down the drain
Container Disposal: Rinse empty containers well, then dispose of according to local regulations
Regulatory Avoidance: Do not mix with incompatible waste streams
Classification: Regarded as flammable liquid for transport regulations
Packing Group: II or III depending on quantity and country
Hazard Symbol: Flammable diamond (per DOT or international standards)
Special Precautions: Use well-sealed, approved containers; avoid rough handling or high heat during shipping
Spill Risk: Emergency procedures should address fire and vapor risks during accidents
Workplace Regulations: Most countries cover deuterated solvents under acetone’s chemical control rules
Labeling Rules: Flammable hazard, eye/skin irritant symbol
Inventory Listings: Included in national or regional chemical substance inventories
Environmental Regulations: Releases may be subject to water or air quality standards
User Responsibility: Stay updated on recent regulation changes and practice safe use, storage, and disposal practices at all times for this and similar laboratory reagents
