Isopropyl Alcohol MSDS.



MSDS Number: ez060041


Product Identification
Chemical Name: 2-propanol
Synonym(s): isopropyl alcohol
Molecular Formula: c3h8o
Molecular Weight: 60.09
Product Use: solvent

Revised: 10/08/2010
Composition/Information on Ingredients Weight%
Component (CAS Registry No.)
----------------------------- --------- ------------
100% Isopropanol (000067-63-0)


Hazards Identification
flammable liquid and vapor
High vapor concentrations may cause drowsiness and irritation of the eyes or respiratory tract. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying, cracking, or irritation forms explosive peroxides

HMIS hazard ratings:
health - 1, flammability - 3, chemical reactivity - 0
NFPA hazard ratings:
health - 1, flammability - 3, chemical reactivity - 0

NOTE: HMIS and NFPA ratings involve data and interpretations that may vary from company to company. They are intended only for rapid, general identification of the magnitude of the specific hazard. To deal adequately with the safe handling of this material, all the information contained in this MSDS must be considered.
First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms persist.

Eyes: Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.

Skin: Wash with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Destroy or thoroughly clean contaminated shoes.

Ingestion: Seek medical advice.
Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media: water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide (co2), alcohol foam special fire-fighting procedures: wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective in fighting the fire.

Hazardous Combustion Products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: flammable. Vapors may cause a flash fire or ignite explosively. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. Prevent buildup of vapors or gases to explosive concentrations. Forms explosive peroxides which may be shock sensitive.
Accidental Release Measures
Eliminate all ignition sources. Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a container for chemical waste.

For Large Spills: Use water spray to disperse vapors and dilute spill to a nonflammable mixture. Prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, or streams.
Handling and Storage
Personal Precautionary Measures: avoid contact with eyes and prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Avoid breathing high vapor concentrations. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevention of fire and explosion: keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Use only with adequate ventilation. Comply with all national, state, and local codes pertaining to the storage, handling, dispensing, and disposal of flammable liquids. Do not expose to air. After opening, purge container with nitrogen before reclosing. Periodically test for peroxide formation on long-term storage. If peroxide formation is suspected, do not open or move container. Do not allow to evaporate to near dryness. Distill with caution. Addition of water or appropriate reducing materials will lessen peroxide formation.

Storage: store away from heat and light. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a well-ventilated place. Shelf life for this product is 2 years if unopened, once product is opened shelf life varies upon environment of storage.
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Exposure Limits: ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV): 400 ppm twa; 500 ppm stel OSHA (USA) permissible exposure limit (pel, 1989 table z-1-a values or section-specific standards): 400 ppm twa; 500 ppm stel Ventilation: good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.

Respiratory Protection: if engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits, an approved respirator must be worn.

Respirator type: mist, organic vapor. If respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA standard 29 cfr 1910.134.

Eye Protection: wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

Skin Protection: for operations where prolonged or repeated skin contact may occur, chemical-resistant gloves should be worn. Contact glove manufacturer for specific information.

Recommended decontamination facilities: eye bath, washing facilities
