Hazard Statements: Highly flammable liquid and vapor; causes serious eye irritation; may cause drowsiness or dizziness
Pictograms: Flame, Exclamation mark
Precautionary Phrases: Avoid breathing vapors; keep container tightly closed; use only in well-ventilated areas; keep away from heat, sparks, open flames; store locked up
Chemical Name: Isopropenyl Acetate
Concentration: >99% by weight
Impurities: Trace acetaldehyde, isopropanol, methyl acetate less than 1%
Other Components: Product does not contain any hazardous impurities at reportable concentrations under OSHA or EU regulations
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air immediately; keep individual at rest; supply oxygen if breathing is difficult; seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing; rinse skin thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes; wash with soap as soon as possible; consult physician if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse opened eye under running water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do; continue rinsing and seek medical advice
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting; never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person; contact poison control center or physician
Most Important Symptoms: Breathing difficulty, dizziness, headache, burning sensation in eyes, skin irritation
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray for large fires
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet may spread burning material
Special Hazards: Vapors form explosive mixtures with air and travel to ignition sources; combustion emits toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Protective suit, self-contained breathing apparatus, gloves resistant to solvents
Firefighting Instructions: Evacuate area, cool containers with water spray, contain runoff
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel; wear chemical splash goggles, gloves, flame-resistant clothing; ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from reaching drains, water sources, soil; alert local environmental authorities if material contaminates environment
Clean-Up Methods: Absorb using inert materials such as sand or vermiculite, collect in covered containers for disposal; ventilate area; decontaminate surfaces with water and detergent
Handling Precautions: Use with adequate ventilation; keep away from all possible ignition sources; avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with skin or eyes; use non-sparking tools
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling; remove contaminated clothing before leaving work area
Storage Recommendations: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; secure away from strong oxidizers, acids, bases, sources of ignition; ground containers to prevent static discharge
Occupational Exposure Limits: No OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV established; keep airborne concentrations as low as possible
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust; use explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting
Respiratory Protection: Use approved NIOSH organic vapor respirator if exposure limits may be exceeded
Hand Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves such as nitrile, neoprene
Eye Protection: ANSI-approved safety goggles
Skin and Body Protection: Flame-resistant lab coat; remove work clothing after shift
Other Protection: Eye wash stations and safety showers in work area

Carcinogenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: No data; negative in standard Ames tests
Other Information: No evidence of reproductive toxicity in animal studies
Aquatic Toxicity: LC50 (fish, 96 h): >100 mg/L, low acute toxicity
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable under standard conditions
Bioaccumulation Potential: Log Kow low, little potential for bioaccumulation
Mobility in Soil: Expected to have moderate to high mobility based on water solubility and partition coefficient
Other Adverse Effects: Release to environment should be minimized; vapor can cause limited local ozone creation, but not persistent hazard
Waste Treatment Methods: Incinerate in chemical incinerator with afterburner and scrubber; observe local, regional, national disposal regulations
Contaminated Packaging: Dispose of as unused product, puncture and triple rinse containers before disposal through approved waste handler
Precautions: Never discharge waste directly into drains or waterways; consult with regional waste management authorities
