Specification parameters

essential information

It is a colorless, transparent, low viscosity volatile liquid with a special odor and an organic ether with an oxygen content of 18.2%. Its steam is heavier than air, can diffuse along the ground, and can burn when coexisting with strong oxidants.

application area 

Used as a gasoline additive to increase octane rating, it can also be cracked to produce isobutene, which has excellent anti knock properties and can be used as a gasoline additive. It has good miscibility with gasoline, low water absorption, and no pollution to the environment. As an organic synthesis raw material, high-purity isobutene can be produced.

Packaging, Storage, Transportation, and Safety

Emergency response to leakage

Quickly evacuate personnel from the contaminated area to a safe zone, isolate them, and strictly restrict their entry and exit. Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency responders wear self-contained positive pressure respirators and firefighting protective clothing. Cut off the leakage source as much as possible to prevent it from entering restricted spaces such as sewers and drainage ditches. Minor leakage: Absorb with sand, vermiculite, or other inert materials. Massive leakage: constructing embankments or digging pits for containment; Cover with foam to reduce steam disaster. Transfer to a tanker or dedicated collector using an explosion-proof pump, and recycle or transport to a waste disposal site for disposal.

Protective measures

Respiratory protection: When there is a possibility of exposure to its vapors, wear a filtered gas mask (half face mask).
Eye protection: Wear chemical safety goggles.
Body protection: Wear anti-static work clothes.
Hand protection: Wear rubber gloves.
Other: Smoking is strictly prohibited at the work site. After work, take a shower and change clothes.

Emergency measures

Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly rinse the skin with soap and water.
Eye contact: Lift the eyelids and rinse with flowing water or saline solution. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene and move to a place with fresh air. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If breathing stops, immediately perform artificial respiration. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Drink plenty of warm water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention.
