5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaExtinguish with dry chem, /alcohol/ foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Cool exposed containers with water.
5.2 Specific hazards arising from the chemicalExcerpt from ERG Guide 129 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG, 2016)
5.3 Special protective actions for fire-fightersWear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
6.Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency proceduresUse personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautionsPersonal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable glass containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. For small quantities, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in a safe place (such as a fume hood). Allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear the hood ductwork. Burn the paper in a suitable location away from combustible materials. Large quantities can be collected and atomized in a suitable combustion chamber.
7.Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handlingAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesFireproof. Separated from oxidants. Cool.STORAGE TANKS ... SHOULD BE SITUATED IN A MOUNDED COMPOUND CONSTRUCTED TO RETAIN MAX QUANTITY OF LIQUID THAT COULD ESCAPE FROM TANKS; DRUMS & OTHER SMALLER RECEPTACLES ... SHOULD BE KEPT IN STOREROOM OF FIRE-RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION WITH MOUNDED & RAMPED DOORWAY TO PREVENT ESCAPE OF SPILT LIQUID. /ESTERS/
8.Exposure controls/personal protection 8.1 Control parameters Occupational Exposure limit valuesAfter reviewing available published literature, NIOSH provided comments to OSHA on August 1, 1988, regarding the "Proposed Rule on Air Contaminants" (29 CFR 1910, Docket No. H-020). In these comments, NIOSH questioned whether the PELs proposed for isopropyl acetate [TWA 250 ppm; STEL 310 ppm] were adequate to protect workers from recognized health hazards.

8.2 Appropriate engineering controlsHandle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) Eye/face protectionSafety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protectionWear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Respiratory protectionWear dust mask when handling large quantities.

10.2 Chemical stabilityStable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsKEEP AWAY FROM HEAT & OPEN FLAME ... Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Moderatedly explosive when exposed to heat or flame.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.ISOPROPYL ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. This compound can react vigorously with nitrates, strong oxidizers, strong alkalis and strong acids. This chemical may also attack some forms of rubber, plastics and coatings. .

- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
A screening test using an activated mixed microbial sewage inoculum indicated that isopropyl acetate had a 5 day BOD of 38%(1). Isopropyl acetate, at an initial concn of 0.4-3.2 ug/l, had a 52.3% 5 day BOD when incubated with an acclimated mixed microbial culture(2). In a screening test using a settled sewage seed, 2.5 ppm isopropyl acetate was found to have a 5 day BOD of 12.7%, which increased to 40% after 10 days and 49.1% after 40 days(3). Isopropyl acetate was determined to have a 5 day BOD of 61% using a settled domestic wastewater seed, and BOD's of 72%, 74% and 76% after 10, 15 and 20 days, respectively(4). When the same inoculum was added to synthetic sea water, the 5, 10, 15 and 20 day BOD's were 14%, 39%, 43%, 49%, respectively(4).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 2 was calculated for isopropyl acetate(SRC), using a water solubility of 29,000 mg/l(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of isopropyl acetate is estimated as approximately 15(SRC), using a measured water solubility of 29,000 mg/l(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that isopropyl acetate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).

13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packagingContainers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill.
