Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Diisopropyl Sebacate
Concentration: 100%
Impurities/Additives: None expected beyond trace levels for industry standard purity

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move person to fresh air; seek medical advice for persistent discomfort
Skin Contact: Wash affected skin with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; seek medical attention if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting, seek medical help if large amounts swallowed or if symptoms develop

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray
Unsuitable Media: Do not use direct water jet
Fire Hazards: Slight fire hazard; may emit toxic fumes under fire conditions beyond normal decomposition
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves and safety goggles; ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers or waterways; contain spills with inert absorbent material
Cleanup Methods: Collect spilled liquid using non-combustible absorbent such as sand or diatomaceous earth; place in a suitable container for disposal; clean spill area with detergent and water

Handling and Storage

Handling: Wear protective equipment, avoid direct skin or eye contact; work in well-ventilated area
Storage: Store in tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area; keep away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight; avoid freezing and excessive heat

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH limits for this compound
Engineering Controls: General room ventilation sufficient for most uses; use local exhaust in case of large-scale or long-term handling
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety glasses or chemical goggles, impermeable gloves (such as nitrile or PVC), lab coat or apron; respirator not usually required unless vapor exposure risk exists

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Odor: Mild, characteristic ester odor
Odor Threshold: Not determined
pH: Not applicable
Melting Point: -17°C (1.4°F)
Boiling Point: 186°C at 6 mmHg (367°F)
Flash Point: >150°C (closed cup)
Evaporation Rate: Low
Flammability: Not classified as flammable, but combustible at high temperature
Vapor Pressure: <0.01 mmHg @ 20°C
Vapor Density: >1 (air = 1)
Specific Gravity: 0.96–0.97 @ 25°C
Solubility in Water: Insoluble
Solubility (Other): Soluble in most organic solvents
Partition Coefficient (log Kow): 7.2
Decomposition Temperature: Data not available
Viscosity: 6–8 cSt @ 25°C

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended handling and storage conditions
Conditions to Avoid: Excess heat, open flames, prolonged exposure to air or light
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers; avoid contact with acids, alkalis for long periods
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, potentially irritant fumes if heated above decomposition

Toxicological Information

Acute Toxicity: Not classified as acutely toxic; oral, dermal, and inhalation routes all show low toxicity; LD50 (oral, rat) >5,000 mg/kg
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Generally not irritant, may cause mild transient effects
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause mild and reversible irritation
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: Not regarded as sensitizer based on available data
Carcinogenicity: No evidence of carcinogenic effects based on animal studies or regulatory listings
Mutagenicity: Data not available, not expected to be mutagenic
Reproductive Toxicity: No significant reproductive or developmental toxicity seen in studies using related esters

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Low aquatic toxicity, based on limited testing and chemical structure
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable under aerobic conditions; breakdown in soil and water expected by microbial action
Bioaccumulative Potential: Potential bioaccumulation due to high log Kow, but rapid environmental breakdown likely mitigates risk
Mobility in Soil: Low mobility, strongly adsorbed to organic matter
Other Adverse Effects: No significant ozone depletion or global warming impact expected

Disposal Considerations

Disposal Method: Dispose in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations; incineration preferred for non-recoverable quantities; do not release into sewers or surface water
Container Handling: Triple rinse containers before recycling or disposal; puncture and render unusable if not refilled
