Storage

  • Anhydrous MIPA has a low boiling point hence precaution should be taken while storing. Handling MIPA anhydrous in glass bottles is dangerous. Great care should be taken while opening drums and vials of the sample, because of its high vapor pressure. Avoid contact with copper and its alloys.

Health & Safety

  • Monoisopropylamine is irritating to the skin, eyes, and mucous membrane. In case of contact, the affected area should be washed with plenty of water at least for 15 minutes. A dilute solution of acetic acid (2%) should be used to neutralize the amine. Continuous inhalation of fumes and ingestion should be avoided. In event of inhalation or ingestion, the victim should be moved to fresh air and oxygen should be administered. Vapors of acetic acid (2%) or vinegar diluted 1:5 with water should be inhaled. To dilute the chemical in the stomach, the patient should consume a copious quantity of milk and water.
  • A medical practitioner should be consulted at once.
  • Personal protective equipment should always be used while handling.
