Fire Hazard
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)
Health Hazard
Exposure can cause mild irritation of eyes, nose and throat. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
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).
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)

Firefighting
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.
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
No information available.
Protective Clothing
Where splashing is possible wear full face shield or chemical safety goggles. (USCG, 1999)
