Status: Not classed as hazardous by GHS or OSHA standard Primary Hazards: Prolonged inhalation may irritate respiratory tract; liquid contact may dry or crack skin Specific Physical Hazards: Vapors heavier than air, can accumulate in low-lying areas Health Effects: Eye irritation; may cause mild skin irritation; ingestion may lead to stomach upset Label Elements: No signal word required; avoid contact with eyes and prolonged breathing of vapor Precautionary Statements: Wear protective gear, use only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas
Chemical Name: Polypropylene Glycol Butyl Ether Concentration: ≥95% by weight Impurities: Water (<2%), Polypropylene glycol homologues (<3%) Chemical Formula: CnH2n+1O(C3H6O)x Molecular Weight Range: Variable, usually between 200–1000 g/mol CAS Registry Number: 9003-13-8
Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, monitor for breathing difficulty, seek medical attention if discomfort persists Skin Contact: Rinse area with soap and plenty of water, remove contaminated clothing, get medical advice if irritation grows Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with running water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present, seek medical advice if redness or pain continues Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical help if large amount ingested or symptoms develop Note to Doctors: Treat symptomatically, monitor for allergic response or respiratory issues
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream may spread product Specific Fire Hazards: Product may produce toxic fumes (carbon oxides) when burning Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective suit Fire-Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area, stay upwind, prevent runoff from reaching drains or water sources Explosion Data: Not expected to form explosive mixtures with air under normal handling
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves and goggles, avoid breathing vapor, do not allow contact with clothing Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to sewers or watercourses, contain spillage with sand or other non-combustible absorbent Cleanup Methods: Soak up with inert absorbent, collect residue in suitable waste container for safe disposal, wash spill site with water Reporting: Notify local authorities in line with environmental regulations
Handling: Use proper ventilation, avoid breathing mist or vapor, prevent spills and splashes, keep container tightly closed Storage: Store in original container, keep in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases Special Handling Advice: Use personal protective equipment, wash hands thoroughly after use, do not reuse empty containers without cleaning
Exposure Limits: No OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV established for polypropylene glycol butyl ether Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to limit airborne exposure Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, lab coat or protective suit Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator if unauthorized levels of vapor or mist form Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin before eating, drinking, or smoking
Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid Odor: Mild, ether-like Odor Threshold: Not available pH: Neutral Melting/Freezing Point: Below -40°C (-40°F) Boiling Point: Range 190–250°C (374–482°F) depending on grade Flash Point: Above 100°C (212°F) Auto-ignition Temperature: Not available Evaporation Rate: Slow Flammability: Not classified as flammable Explosive Properties: Not explosive Vapor Pressure: Less than 1 mm Hg @ 20°C Vapor Density: Heavier than air Solubility (Water): Moderate to slightly soluble Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not determined Viscosity: Moderate to high, varies with grade
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions Reactivity: No dangerous reactions expected Conditions to Avoid: Heat, open flames, strong oxidizing agents Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of carbon (CO, CO2) under fire or thermal decomposition Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization expected
Acute Oral Toxicity: Low toxicity, no known LD50 for humans Acute Dermal Toxicity: Slight skin irritation possible with prolonged exposure Acute Inhalation Toxicity: Excessive inhalation of vapor may cause dizziness, headache, or respiratory tract irritation Skin Contact: Drying or chapping with repeated exposure Eye Contact: Mild, reversible irritation ordinarily Chronic Effects: No long-term effects observed in routine use, not classified as carcinogenic Sensitization: Not expected to cause allergic reactions Other Data: Not mutagenic, not expected to affect reproductive health
Ecotoxicity: Not acutely toxic to aquatic life at low concentrations Persistence: Product expected to degrade slowly in environment, based on molecular structure Bioaccumulation Potential: Low, due to moderate solubility and metabolism by microorganisms Mobility in Soil: Moderate; can leach to groundwater if spilled in large quantities Other Adverse Effects: Spills may cause temporary increase in chemical oxygen demand in water bodies
Waste Treatment: Dispose of through licensed waste management facility Disposal of Packaging: Empty containers must be triple-rinsed before landfill or recycling, never reuse for food or drink Special Instructions: Follow local, regional, and national regulations for chemical disposal Additional Notes: Do not burn product or container in open fire
UN Number: Not regulated for transport Proper Shipping Name: Not regulated Transport Hazard Class: Not hazardous Packing Group: None Environmental Hazards: None known Special Precautions for User: Avoid container damage and leakage, secure for transit Transport in Bulk: Not classified under IMO regulations for marine bulk transport
TSCA: Listed in United States Toxic Substances Control Act inventory EINECS/ELINCS: Complies with European chemical inventories SARA Title III: Not subject to Section 313 reporting California Proposition 65: Product does not contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm Canadian WHMIS: Not controlled REACH Status: Compliant with current European Union REACH regulations Other Regulations: Observe all workplace safety laws and environmental handling standards applying to chemical substances
