| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
A colorless liquid. Insoluble in water and less dense than water. Flash point 115°F. May be mildly toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Vapors may be narcotic by inhalation. Used as a solvent and to make other chemicals. | [Reactivity Profile]
ISOPROPENYLBENZENE(98-83-9) is easily peroxidizable; the peroxide may initiate exothermic polymerization of the bulk material. Reacts violently with strong oxidizing agents [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980 p. 866; Bretherick, 1979 p. 160]. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Flammable. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick, 1979 p.151-154, 164]. Insoluble in water. | [Hazard]
Moderate fire risk. Explosive limits in air1.9–6.1%. Avoid inhalation and skin contact. Upperrespiratory tract irritant, kidney and female repro-ductive damage. Possible carcinogen. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation causes irritation of respiratory tract, headache, dizziness, light-headedness, and breathlessness. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with liquid irritates eyes. Prolonged skin contact can cause severe rashes, swelling, and blistering. | [Potential Exposure]
Methylstyrene is used as additive,
plasticizer, and copolymer; used in the production of
modified polyester and alkyd resin formulations. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit | [Shipping]
UN2303 Isopropenylbenzene, Hazard Class: 3;
Labels: 3-Flammable liquid | [Incompatibilities]
Vapors may form explosive mixture
with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away
from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids,
epoxides, peroxides, halogens, catalysts for vinyl or ionic
polymers; aluminum, iron chloride; copper. Methylstyrene
may form unstable peroxides; may polymerize. Usually
contains an inhibitor, such as tert-butyl catechol. | [Description]

Color Code—Red: Flammability Hazard: Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with this chemical you should be trainedon its proper handling and storage. Before entering confinedspace where this chemical may be present, check to makesure that an explosive concentration does not exist. Store intightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated areaaway from oxidizers. Where possible, automatically pumpliquid from drums or other storage containers to processcontainers. | [Purification Methods]
Wash the monomer three times with aqueous 10% NaOH (to remove inhibitors such as quinol), then six times with distilled water, dry with CaCl2 and distil it unde |
