About this file

This is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Methylhydrazine (Product Number M50001), a laboratory chemical manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich Inc. The document provides comprehensive hazard information and handling guidelines for this highly toxic and flammable liquid compound with the chemical formula CH6N2 and molecular weight of 46.07 g/mol (CAS-No. 60-34-4).

Methylhydrazine is classified as a Category 2 flammable liquid with acute toxicity hazards via oral, inhalation, and dermal routes (all fatal at lower exposure levels), skin corrosion (Category 1B), serious eye damage (Category 1), and suspected carcinogenicity (Category 1B). The substance is very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Critical handling requirements include use of explosion-proof equipment, storage under inert gas in tightly closed containers in dry, well-ventilated areas, and maintenance of a dry storage environment. Personal protective equipment must include tightly fitting safety goggles, a faceshield, butyl-rubber gloves with minimum 0.3mm thickness, complete chemical-protective clothing, and respiratory protection (full-face supplied air respirator or air-purifying respirator with multi-purpose cartridges). The occupational exposure limit established by ACGIH is a TWA of 0.01 ppm with a ceiling limit of 0.04 ppm. Emergency contact information is provided through CHEMTREC (800-424-9300 USA; +1-703-527-3887 International). Transport classification lists the substance as UN1244, Class 6.1 (3, 8) with Packing Group I; it is prohibited for both IATA passenger and cargo transport. Disposal requires incineration in a chemical incinerator equipped with afterburner and scrubber due to the material's high flammability.

If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the EC approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.

Body Protection

Complete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as

NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
