Product data sheet (Polymer production, 2021-9-17): Applications: ISOPRENYL is used as a cocatalyst in the Ziegler-Natta polymerization of olefins. Storage: ISOPRENYL solutions are stable when stored under a dry, inert atmosphere and away from heat. ISOPRENYL decomposes slowly above ~ 120°C. Packaging and transport: ISOPRENYL solutions are available worldwide in cylinders and portable tanks. In North America only, ISOPRENYL solutions are 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: ISOPRENYL solutions may ignite upon exposure to air and react violently with water. ISOPRENYL solutions 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 metal alkyls service. Failure to do so may result in an explosion. Products of complete combustion of ISOPRENYL solutions are aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide and water. ISOPRENYL causes severe burns to the skin and eyes. It is imperative that proper personal protective equipment be worn when handling ISOPRENYL. Please refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further information on the safe storage, use and handling of ISOPRENYL. This information should be thoroughly reviewed prior to acceptance of this product. The SDS is available at nouryon.com/sds-search. Additional information: Availability: ISOPRENYL is a commercial product available as pyrophoric and nonpyrophoric solutions in a variety of hydrocarbon solvents. Consult your Nouryon representative for further information.
