Applications
- Commercial manufacturing, laboratory or research use; may be used as an excipient or process solvent for pharmaceutical purposes (not as an active drug ingredient, medical device, or disinfectant)chemsavers.com
Applications are drawn from published manufacturer and supplier documentation; each is sourced. Suitability for a specific use is the buyer's to confirm.
Storage & Handling
- Recommended Storage
- Store in tightly closed original containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated flammable-liquids area that meets NFPA 30, away from heat, sparks and open flame. Ground and bond containers and equipment when transferring: vapor can be ignited by static discharge. Do not store with oxidizing agents, strong acids, peroxides, aldehydes, halogens, ammonia, acid anhydrides or alkali metals.Adjudicated
- Handling Precautions
- Use chemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles. Bond and ground during transfer to prevent static accumulation. Eliminate ignition sources within vapor envelope.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
- Incompatibilities
- Strong oxidizing agents; strong acids and acid anhydrides; peroxides; aldehydes; halogens; ammonia and amines; alkali metals, potassium and aluminum; iron salts. May attack some plastics and rubber.Adjudicated
- Shelf Life
- Consult Technical Services for product-specific shelf life
