| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
A clear liquid. Density 0.903 g/cm3. Flash point 114°F. An irritant. | [Reactivity Profile]
ETHYLENE GLYCOL ISOPROPYL ETHER(109-59-1) acts both as an alcohol and ether. May react violently with strong oxidizing agents. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases with alkali metals, nitrides, and other strong reducing agents. May initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Flammable. Oxidizes in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick, 1979 p.151-154, 164]. Water soluble . | [Hazard]
Combustible liquid with flash p 49C. Toxic
by skin absorption. | [Health Hazard]
May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. May cause skin and eye irritation. | [Fire Hazard]
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes when heated upon decomposition. | [Chemical Properties]
colourless liquid | [Uses]
2-Isopropoxyethanol was used to study the products of the gas-phase reactions of OH radical with n-butyl methyl ether and 2-isopropoxyethanol in the presence of NO. 2-Isopropoxyethanol was used to develop methodology for evaluating electromagnetic sensor performance in nonrelaxing and nonconducting (e.g., sandy soil) media | [Uses]
Ethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether (EGIE) is used as a solvent for resins, dyes, and cellulose esters, and in coatings.. | [Uses]
Solvent in latex paints, lacquers, and
other coatings, resins, coalescing aids, and coupling
solvents | [Waste Disposal]
Chemical incineration is the most suitable method of destruction. Drain disposal may be done for small amounts of EGIE. |
