Chemical Name: Iso Propyl Bromide
Common Name: 2-Bromopropane
CAS Number: 75-26-3
Concentration: >98%
Impurities: Trace residuals from synthesis, not expected to impact hazards significantly
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if breathing becomes difficult. Remove contaminated clothing immediately.
Eye Contact: Rinse gently with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if possible. Continue rinsing and seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical advice if irritation develops.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting. Call a poison center or doctor right away.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, do not use water stream directly.
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Combustion releases toxic gases, including hydrogen bromide, carbon monoxide.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus. Keep containers cool with water spray from a safe distance.
Special Procedures: Evacuate area. Approach fire from upwind. Prevent runoff from entering drains or water sources.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, provide adequate ventilation. Remove ignition sources. Use protective equipment including gloves and goggles.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, ground and water. Report large spills.
Spill Clean-up: Absorb liquid with sand or inert material. Place in container for disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Handling: Avoid breathing vapors. Use in well-ventilated areas. Wear proper protective equipment. Keep away from incompatible materials.
Storage Conditions: Keep container tightly closed in cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Store away from heat, sparks, and strong oxidizers. Use corrosion-resistant containers and avoid prolonged exposure to light.
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents, strong bases, sources of ignition.
Storage Class: Flammable liquid, chemical storage—designated flammable storage area.
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV, minimize exposure to vapor and skin
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, explosion-proof electrical fixtures
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, flame-retardant clothing, face shield when risk of splashes.
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator for organic vapors if exposure limits are exceeded.
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling. Wash thoroughly after handling.
