First aid

Eyes: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. Immediately transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. Skin: Immediately flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.[1]
General First Aid: · Call 911 or emergency medical service. · Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, take precautions to protect themselves and avoid contamination. · Move victim to fresh air if it can be done safely. · Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. · If victim is not breathing: -- DO NOT perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; the victim may have ingested or inhaled the substance. -- If equipped and pulse detected, wash face and mouth, then give artificial respiration using a proper respiratory medical device (bag-valve mask, pocket mask equipped…[10]

Storage

Fireproof. Separated from strong oxidants. Cool. Well closed.[3]
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store at room temperature in the original container. Sensitive to light. Store in light-resistant containers. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Store in a segrated and approved area. Store away from incompatible materials. (isopropyl Alcohol, Reagent, ACS)[6]
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well ventilated area away from heat.[6]

Incompatibilities

During distillation of 2-propanol recovered from the reduction of crotonaldehyde with aluminium isopropoxide, a violent explosion occurred. This was attributed either to peroxidized diisopropyl ether (a possible by-product) or to peroxidized crotonaldehyde.[6]
Forms explosive mixtures with trinitromethane; hydrogen peroxide (similar in power and sensitivity to glyceryl nitrate). Reacts with barium perchlorate to form the highly explosive propyl perchlorate.[6]
When a stream of hydrogen entrained isopropyl alcohol vapors and palladium particles, the mixture caught fire on exposure to air.[6]
Two explosions occurred during laboratory distillation of isopropanol, one with a sample stored for 4 yr. No cause was apparent, but presence of traces of ketone(s) promoting peroxidation is a possibility. Previously, the presence of 0.36 molar peroxide had been reported in a 99.5% pure sample of isopropanol stored for several months in a partially full clear glass bottle in strong daylight.[6]
