Reaction mass of 1,3-diisopropylbenzene and 1,4-diisopropylbenzene

Guidance on Safe Use

Handling and storage

Handling Procedures

Organics can obtain an electrostatic charge during processing activities including: mixing, filtering, or pumping which may represent a spark hazard and, therefore, a fire hazard. Also, a sudden release of such materials from process equipment at elevated temperatures, and/or pressures, can result in ignitions from static absent any apparent ignition source. Flashpoint and autoignition values obtained from standard test conditions may not be applicable to other situations and, thus, the safe use of this material in any process should be reviewed by one familiar with both the

processing conditions and this material. As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when handling this material.

When the container(s) is empty it may retain product residue including vapors which could accumulate. Therefore, do not cut, drill, grind, or weld

empty containers. Additionally, do not conduct such activity(ies) near full, partially full, or empty product containers without appropriate workplace safety authorization(s) or permit(s).

Storage Procedures

Protect container from physical abuse. Keep the container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated storage area. Keep separate from incompatibles. Bond and ground containers when transferring material. Empty product containers may contain product residue. Do not reuse empty containers.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure Guidelines

All PPE use is to be determined by a qualified person.

Engineering Controls

Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove, and prevent buildup of, any vapors, dusts, or fumes that may be generated during

handling or thermal processing. In order to ensure appropriate electrical safety practices are followed, consult applicable standards.

These may include guidelines such as the National Fire Protection Association [NFPA] 70, "The National Electrical Code" and NFPA 499,

"Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in

Chemical Process Areas ". NOTE: since this material's vapors, dust or fumes can form explosive mixtures in air, ensure that any potential

areas where explosions may occur are designed to minimize potential damage. For recommendations to prevent such explosions and

associated damage, consult applicable guidelines such as NFPA 69, "Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" and/or NFPA 68, "Guide

for Venting Deflagrations".

Personal Protective Equipment

Eye Protection

Wear safety glasses with side shields; chemical goggles (if splashing is possible). Wear a face shield if a splash hazard exists. Select & use eye

protection per a competent health & safety professional using: OSHA [29 CFR 1910.133] or Europe's [EN166].

Skin Protection

Use appropriate hand protection. Wear impervious gloves for prolonged contact.

Respiratory Protection

Maintain material's vapors, fumes, or particulate levels below any levels of concern including, for solids, considering the material as a

particulate not otherwise classified [nuisance dust] @ 10 mg/m3. Select & use respirators per a competent health & safety professional

using: OSHA (29 CFR 1910.134); ANSI (Z88.2-1992); or Europe's [EN 149].
