ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL
9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance: Clear, colourless liquid
Odour: Alcohol type
pH = N/A
Vapour Pressure (20ºC) : 4.3 kPa
Vapour Density (20ºC) : > 1.0 kPa
Boiling Point : 82ºC
Flash Point : 12 ºC
Explosive Limits (LEL – UEL) : 1.8 – 12%
Specific Gravity (15ºC) : 0.785 g/mL
Autoignition Temperature : > 350 ºC
Viscosity (20ºC) : N/A
Percent Volatiles : 100%
Solubility with water : infinite
10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stable.
Hazardous polymerization: None.
Hazardous reactions: Violent, explosive reactions with metal
oxides, oxidising agents or halogens. Stored mixtures with
MEK produce explosive peroxides. Increased rate of peroxide
formation with isobutanol. Peroxide formation sharply
decreases the autoignition temperature.
11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Effects: Acute –
Swallowed:
The single lethal dose for humans is approximate
250ml, however 100ml can be fatal. Symptoms of
overexposure include: flushing, pulse rate decrease, blood
pressure lowering, anaesthesia, narcosis, headaches,
dizziness, mental depression, hallucinations, distorted
perceptions, respiratory depression, nausea or vomiting,
coma.
Eye:
May cause irritating to eyes and can cause corneal
burns.
Skin:
May be irritating to the skin with prolonged exposure. It
may result in dryness and cracking.
Inhalation:
May cause irritating to the respiratory tract. In high
doses, this product has narcotic effects. At concentrations of
400 ppm or higher, the product may induce a mild narcosis,
with transient effects.
Health Effects: Chronic – This product is easily absorbed by
the skin yielding a narcotic action. People with pre-existing liver
or kidney conditions must avoid unnecessary product exposure
(metabolises similarly to ethanols).
Toxicity Data: 2-propanol : 5045 mg/kg (oral, rat)
TDLo : 223 mg/kg (oral, human)
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity: Fish toxicity (rainbow trout, goldfish, bluegill) :
LC50 (96 hr) : expected to be toxic to aquatic
organisms.
Persistence and degradability: Can degrade rapidly in air.
Expected to biodegrade rapidly
and be ‘readily biodegradable’
according to OECD guidelines.
Mobility: Highly volatile and will rapidly evaporate to the air if
released into the water.
Advice: -
