Chemical: Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, 3-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentyl ester

Chemical: Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, monoester with 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol

Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, monoester with 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol is listed on the EPA's Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) system. Manufacturers and importers of Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, monoester with 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol are required to report information about their production and use of this chemical to the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). (40 eCFR Part 711)

2,2,4-Trimethylpentane-1,3-diol monoisobutyrate: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, 3-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentyl ester: Does not have an individual approval but may be used as a component in a product covered by a group standard. It is not approved for use as a chemical in its own right.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire. (USCG, 1999)

A minor skin irritant in guinea pigs and minor eye irritant in rabbits; Not sensitizing to guinea pig skin; Increased absolute and relative liver weights with minor histopathological changes (considered adaptive and reversible) observed in sub-chronic oral study of rats; No evidence of reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity, or teratogenicity in rats; [IUCLID] A skin and eye irritant; [ICSC] A mild eye, nose, and throat irritant; May cause smarting and reddening of the skin if spilled on clothes and not removed; High vapor concentrations may cause mild smarting of the eyes and respiratory system; [CHRIS] May cause irritation; [Sigma-Aldrich MSDS]

2,2,4-TRIMETHYL-1,3-PENTANEDIOL MONOISOBUTYRATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire (USCG, 1999).

Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Since material is lighter than water and insoluble, fire could be spread by using water in an uncontained area.

Use powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.

Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
