Product data sheet (Polymer production, 2023-12-5): Applications: Heptane solutions of IBAO-65 is used as a cocatalyst in the Ziegler-Natta polymerization of olefins. Storage: Heptane solutions of IBAO-65 are stable when stored under a dry, inert atmosphere and away from heat. Packaging and transport: Heptane solutions of IBAO-65 are available worldwide in cylinders and portable tanks. In North America only, IBAO-65 in heptane is also available in tank trailers and rail cars. Containers are fabricated from carbon steel and are equipped with dip tubes for top discharge and all connections are located in the vapor space. Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. Safety and handling: Heptane solutions of IBAO-65 may ignite on exposure to air and react violently with water. Heptane solutions of IBAO-65 must be handled under a dry, inert atmosphere, e.g. nitrogen or argon. Water must be scrupulously removed from process equipment prior to putting it into meal alkyls service. Failure to do so may result in an explosion. Products of complete combustion of heptane solutions of IBAO-65 are aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide and water. Heptane solutions of IBAO-65 cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. It is imperative that proper personal protective equipment can be worn when handling heptane solutions of IBAO-65. Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further information on the safe storage, use and handling of IBAO-65. This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The SDS is available at nouryon.com/sds-search Additional information: IBAO-65 is a commercial product available as 3.5 wt% Al in hexane or heptane.
