Applications
Heptane, is a non-polar liquid with a straight-chain alkane structure that is widely used as a solvent in laboratories due to it's low reactivity with other molecules.
Heptane is a terrible fuel choice for a car since it burns explosively, causing engine knocking. As well as setting the zero point for octane rating
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

| Precautionary statements - response |
P301 + P330 + P331 IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P302 + P352 IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Storage P403 + P233 Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. |
| Skin Contact | Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediate medical attention is required. |
| Eye Contact | Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. |
| Inhalation: | Move to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention ifm symptoms occur. Risk of serious damage to the lungs. |
| Ingestion | Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. If vomiting occurs naturally, have victim lean forward. |
| Most important symptoms/effects | Breathing difficulties. Symptoms of overexposure may be headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and vomiting. |
| Notes to Physician | Treat symptomatically |
| Flammability of the Product | Flammable. |
| Suitable extinguishing media | Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray. |
| Unsuitable extinguishing media | Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire |

| Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical | Flammable. Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. |
| Hazardous Combustion Products | Carbon monoxide (CO) Carbon dioxide (CO2) |
| Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters | As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. |
| Further Information | Remove container from danger zone and cool with water. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. |
| Spillage | Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Observe possible material restrictions (see sections 7 and 10). Take up carefully with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. |
| Personal Protection | Use personal protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. |
| Enviromental Precaution | Should not be released into the environment. See Section 12 for additional ecological information. Avoid release to the environment. Collect spillage. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. |
| Methods and materials for containment and cleaning | Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment |
| Handling | Wear personal protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Do not ingest. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. |
| Storage | Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Flammables area. Corrosives area. |
| Hygiene measures | Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance. |
| Engineering Control | Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station location. |
| Personal Protection |
Eye/face Protection : Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin and body protection : Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure. Long sleeved clothing.Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing. Respiratory Protection : Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. |
