SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic gases including nitrogen oxides. The solution in water is a medium strong base. Reacts violently with acids and oxidants.
Chemical stability
Stable during shipment.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Highly flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.ISOBUTYLAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Forms explosive mixture with air. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its vapors. n-Butylamine is a weak base; reacts with strong oxidizers and acids causing fire and explosion hazard. Incompatible with organic anhydrides, isocyanates, vinyl acetate, acrylates, substituted allyls, alkylene oxides, epichlorohydrin, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, glycols, phenols, cresols, caprolactum solution. Attacks some metals in presence of moitsure. Butyl Amines

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Isobutylamine was biologically-oxidized by aniline-acclimated activated sludge and the bacteria Alcaligenes faecalis, isolated from activated sludge using the Warburg technique(1,2). Isobutylamine was 87 percent and 68 percent biodegraded in duplicate tests during a 2 week incubation period using a Japanese MITI test(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for isobutylamine(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.73(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of isobutylamine is estimated as 60(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.73(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that isobutylamine is expected to have high mobility in soil. The pKa of isobutylamine is 10.68(4) indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Other Information
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
