Threshold Limit Values: No established value; handle as hazardous material
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek medical advice if irritation persists
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If skin irritation or rash appears, consult a physician
Inhalation: Move the affected person to fresh air immediately. Support breathing as required. Get medical attention if symptoms develop
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting. Drink water in small sips if conscious. Call medical help right away
Symptoms of Exposure: Dizziness, headache, redness, itching, stomach discomfort, shortness of breath, or eye watering
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, CO2, or water spray, but never use direct water streams as they can spread flames
Specific Hazards: Vapors are heavier than air and can travel along surfaces to remote ignition sources. May form hazardous decomposition products like hydrogen chloride on burning
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Instructions: Cool exposed containers with water spray, isolate area, evacuate personnel upwind of fire
Explosion Hazards: Risk of explosive mixtures with air at room temperature, especially in confined spaces
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel, wear appropriate protective equipment, remove ignition sources, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, surface waters, or confined spaces
Methods for Clean-Up: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent material (sand, earth, vermiculite), place in suitable, tightly sealed containers
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations
Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid inhalation of vapors, never eat, drink, or smoke during handling, ground/bond container and receiving equipment, take precautionary measures against static discharge
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat, open flame, and incompatible substances like oxidizers and acids
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, mineral acids, aluminum, copper, and their alloys
Special Protection: Store in original container or containers approved for flammable liquids
Engineering Controls: Local mechanical exhaust ventilation to control vapor accumulation. Use of explosion-proof ventilation and electrical systems
Personal Protection: Nitrile gloves (chemical resistant), protective safety glasses or face shield, flame resistant lab coat
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved respirator for organic vapor if ventilation is inadequate
Hygienic Measures: Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling chemicals and before eating or smoking. Change contaminated clothing promptly
Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Alcohol-like, possibly faintly sweet
Odor Threshold: Not determined
pH: Not applicable (non-aqueous)
Melting Point/Freezing Point: Not available; likely below 0°C
Boiling Point: Estimated around 160°C (for related propanols)
Flash Point: Approximated at 55°C (closed cup method)
Evaporation Rate: Higher than water, slower than acetone
Flammability: Flammable liquid
Vapor Pressure: Estimated lower than ethanol, but significant for confined areas
Vapor Density: Heavier than air (accumulates in low areas)
Solubility: Soluble in water, organic solvents
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not determined
Auto-ignition Temperature: Approximate, based on alcohols, around 400°C
Decomposition Temperature: Not established
Viscosity: Slightly higher than water
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions, sensitive to heat and light
Reactivity: Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials; may produce toxic chlorinated vapors on decomposition
Hazardous Reactions: Potential for violent reaction with acids or oxidizers; incompatible with some metals
Decomposition Products: Hydrogen chloride, phosgene, carbon oxides
Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization likely under normal conditions
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, dermal contact, ingestion, eye contact
Acute Effects: Irritant to eyes, skin, and mucous membranes; may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure can dry or crack skin, sensitize airways, liver or central nervous system effects possible with heavy or repeated exposure
LD50 (oral, rat): Estimated >2,000 mg/kg (based on similar propanol and chloro derivatives)
Symptoms: Eye watering, skin redness, respiratory discomfort, stomach pain
Carcinogenicity: Not classified, but some chlorinated organic compounds have potential as carcinogens, so handle with care
Mutagenicity & Reproductive Toxicity: No substantial data available, precautionary measures advised
Sensitization: May cause allergic skin reaction in some individuals
Ecotoxicity: Potential to be harmful to aquatic organisms; toxicity data limited, but treat as hazardous
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable in water under aerobic conditions, but presence of chlorine atom slows breakdown
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low to moderate, but no specific data; similar chemicals have shown limited accumulation
Mobility in Soil: Expected to be highly mobile due to water solubility
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid release to the environment; may cause oxygen depletion in water
Regulatory Listings: Not specifically listed as a marine pollutant, but best handled as potentially dangerous to aquatic environments
Disposal Methods: Collect and deliver waste for certified hazardous waste disposal. Do not pour into drains, soil, or water sources
Container Disposal: Empty containers may retain residues and vapors; triple rinse and recycle if regulations allow, or puncture and dispose of through a licensed handler
