International Chemical Safety Cards TRIBUTYLTIN OXIDE ICSC: 1282 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: LIQUID. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV (as tin): ppm; 0.1 mg/m3 A4, STEL 0.2 mg/m3 A4 (skin) (ACGIH 1997). ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skinand by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates severely the eyes, the skin. Inhalation of the aerosol may cause lung oedema (see Notes). The substance may cause effects on the thymus , resulting in depression of the immune function. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point: 173°C Melting point: <-45°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.17 at 20°C Solubility in water: poor Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.001 Flash point: 190°C c.c. Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.19 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. In the food chain important to humans, bioaccumulation takes place, specifically in fish and molluscs. Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use. N O T E S The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
