224 ISOPROPYLAMINE
ISOPROPYLAMINE
Chemical Designations - Synonyms: 2-Aminopropane; Monoisopropylamine; iso-Propylamine;
Chemical Formula: (CH,),CHNH2,
Observable Characteristics - Physical State (as shipped) : Liquid; Color: Colorless; Odor: Strong
ammoniacal; pungent, irritating, typical amine.
Physical and Chemical Properties - Physical State at 15 ‘C and 1 am. : Liquid; Molecular Weight:
59.11; Boiling Point at I atm.: 90.3, 32.4, 305.6; Freezing Point: -139, -95, 178; Critical
Temperature: 396, 202, 475; Critical Pressure: 740, 50, 5.1; Specific Gravity: (est.) 0.691 at 20°C
(liquid); Vapor (Gas) Specific Gravity: 2.04; Ratio ofSpecific Heats of Vapor (Gas): Not pertinent;
Latent Heat of Vaporization: 193, 107, 4.48; Heat of Combustion: -16,940, -9,420, -394; Heat of
Decomposition: Not pertinent.
Health Hazards Information -Recommended Personal Protective Eqzupment: Self-contained breathing
apparatus; butyl rubber gloves and apron; chemical face shield or safety goggles; Symptoms Following
Exposure: Inhalation causes nose and throat irritation, severe coughing, and chest pain due to irritation
of air passages; can cause lung edema and loss of consciousness. Ingestion causes nausea, salivation
and severe irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with skin causes severe irritation; General
Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION remove victim to fresh air; if he is not breathing, give
artificial respiration; give oxygen if breathing is difficult; call a physician. INGESTION: call a
physician immediately; encourage the drinking of large quantities of water followed by dilute vinegar,
lemon juice, cider, or other weak acids; keep patient warm. EYES: flush with water for 15 min.,
bolding eyelids apart; call physician as soon as possible, preferably an eye specialist. SKIN: flush with
water; Toxicity by Inhalation Freshold Limit Value): 5 ppm; Short-Tern Inhulation Limits: Data not
available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2, oral LD,, = 820 mglkg (rat), 600 mg/kg (mouse); Lure
Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Vapor is moderately irritating such
that personnel will not usually tolerate moderate or high vapor concentrations; Liquid or Solid Irritant
Characteristics: Causes smarting of the skin and first-degree burns on short exposure; may cause
secondary burns on long exposure; Odor Threshold 5 ppm.
Fire Hazards - Flash Point (deg. F): -15 OC; Flammable Limits in Air (%): 2.3 - 12; Fire
Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide; Fire Extinguishing Agents Not
To Be Used: Water may be ineffective; Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of
nitrogen form in fires; Behavior in Fire: Burning product is difficult to control because of the ease of
reigniting of vapors. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
There is danger of container explosion; Ignition Temperature (deg. F): 756; Electrical Hazard: No
data; Burning Rate: 6.3 mm/min.
Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No
reactions; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent;
Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.
ISOPROPYL ETHER
Chemical Designations - Synonym: Diisopropyl ether; Diisopropyl oxide; 2-Isopropoxypropane;

Observable Characteristics - Physical State (as shipped) : Liquid; Color: Colorless; Odor: Sweet,
slightly sharp; characteristic pungent; ethereal; like amphor and ethyl ether.

102.2; Boiling Point at I atm.: 156, 69, 342; Freezing Point: -123, -86, 187; Critical Temperature:
440.4, 226.9, 500.1; Critical Pressure: 418, 28.4, 2.88; Specific Gravity: 0.724 at 20 “C (liquid);
