Isopropyl acetate (Isopropyl Acetate), a volatile colorless liquid with a fruit-like aroma.
Its physicochemical properties are as follows: melting point -73.4 ° C, boiling point 88.4 ° C, relative density (water = 1): 0.87, relative vapor density (air = 1): 3.0, flash point -2 ° C, ignition temperature 454 ° C, upper explosion limit [% (V/V) ]: 7.0, lower explosion limit [% (V/V) ]: 1.8. Slightly soluble in water, miscible in most organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, ketones, etc.
This substance is mainly used as a solvent for coatings, printing inks, etc., and is also a commonly used dehydrating agent in industry.
Protection is required when exposed to this substance. May be harmful to the body after inhalation, ingestion or absorption through the skin. Irritating to the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. In the event of a leak, quickly evacuate personnel from the leak-contaminated area to a safe area and isolate them, strictly restricting access. Cut off fire sources. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and anti-static work clothes. Cut off the source of leakage as much as possible. Prevent it from flowing into restricted spaces such as sewers and flood drains. Small leaks: adsorb or absorb with sand or other non-combustible materials. It can also be rinsed with a lot of water, diluted with washing water and placed into the wastewater system. Large leaks: build embankments or dig pits for containment. Cover with foam to reduce vapor disasters. Transfer to a tanker or special collector with an explosion-proof pump, and recycle or transport to a waste disposal site for disposal.
When storing, it should be stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37 ° C. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids and alkalis, and mixed storage should not be avoided. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials. During transportation, the transportation vehicle should be equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. It is best to transport in the morning and evening in summer. The trough (tank) car used during transportation should have a grounding chain, and holes can be set in the trough to baffle to reduce shock and generate static electricity. It is strictly forbidden to mix and transport with oxidants, acids, alkalis, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, it should be protected from exposure to the sun, rain and high temperature. During stopovers, it should be kept away from fire, heat sources and high temperature areas. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle carrying this item must be equipped with a fire retardant device, and it is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks for loading and unloading. When transporting by road, it should be driven according to the prescribed route, and do not stop in residential areas and densely populated areas. It is forbidden to slip when transporting by rail. It is strictly forbidden to transport in bulk by wooden
