Product Safety Assessment: DOWTm Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol <br />chemical has a low hazard profile and, thus, is currently of low priority for further work. The profile <br />document may be accessed at http: / /www.chem. unep. ch /irptc /sids /OECDSIDS /108112.pdf. <br />For more information, see the relevant Safety Data Sheet. <br />Back to top <br />Physical Hazard Information 18 <br />DOWTM methyl isobutyl carbinol is thermally stable at recommended temperatures and <br />pressures. Hazardous polymerization will not occur, however, exposure to elevated temperatures <br />can cause the product to decompose. Decomposition of the product depends upon temperature, <br />air supply, and the presence of other materials. Avoid contact with acid chlorides, acids, and <br />oxidizers. <br />For more information, see the relevant Safety Data Sheet. <br />Back to top <br />Regulatory Information <br />Regulations may exist that govern the manufacture, sale, transportation, use, and /or disposal of <br />DOWTM methyl isobutyl carbinol. These regulations may vary by city, state, country, or <br />geographic region.
