Product Name: Propanediol Synonyms: 1,3-Propanediol, PDO Chemical Formula: C3H8O2 CAS Number: 504-63-2 Manufacturer: Chemical supplier details go here Recommended Use: Solvent, intermediate in chemical synthesis, ingredient in personal care and cleaning products Emergency Phone: Refer to local regulations for emergency numbers
GHS Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard Signal Word: Not applicable Pictogram: None required Hazards: May cause mild irritation to eyes or skin upon direct contact; ingestion can lead to discomfort Precautionary Statements: Avoid direct eye and skin contact. Practice good hygiene after handling. Symptoms of Exposure: Redness, tearing, or mild discomfort in eyes; slight irritation to skin
Chemical Name: 1,3-Propanediol Concentration: ≥99% Impurities: < 1% water, organic traces stemming from manufacturing Other Ingredients: None considered hazardous
Eye Contact: Rinse eyewell with plenty of water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing and seek medical care for ongoing discomfort. Skin Contact: Flush skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical advice if irritation develops. Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Obtain medical attention if symptoms persist. Ingestion: Wash mouth out with water if ingested accidentally. Do not induce vomiting. Contact a poison center or doctor if any discomfort develops.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or water spray. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet may spread the fire Specific Hazards: Heated material may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear in a fire situation Fire Fighting Instructions: Cool exposed containers with water; prevent contaminated fire fighting water from entering drains
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, goggles, and clothing to limit exposure. Ventilate area. Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to drainage systems or natural waterways. Notify appropriate authorities if spills occur on public land Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth), collect in sealable containers for disposal, wash residual traces with water
Handling: Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Limit prolonged contact with skin. Always use in well-ventilated places Storage: Store tightly closed in cool, dry, ventilated space. Keep away from strong oxidants and sources of fire or ignition. Protect containers from physical damage Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers; can react to form hazardous substances
Exposure Limits: No established workplace limits; handle using industrial hygiene best practices Engineering Controls: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, protective clothing as needed Respiratory Protection: Use a suitable respirator if ventilation does not maintain safe exposure levels Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin before eating or leaving the work area
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid Odor: Practically odorless Melting Point: -27°C Boiling Point: 214°C Flash Point: 127°C (closed cup) Solubility: Fully miscible with water Density: 1.052 g/cm³ at 20°C Viscosity: 52 mPa·s at 25°C Vapor Pressure: Low (<0.01 hPa at 20°C) pH: Neutral (6.5 – 7.5)
Reactivity: Stable under recommended storage and use conditions Chemical Stability: Stable Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: No dangerous reactions with typical product handling Conditions to Avoid: Keep clear of heat, open flames, and incompatible materials Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide may form under fire conditions
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity; oral LD50 (rat) > 5,000 mg/kg Skin Contact: May cause mild irritation; not considered a skin sensitizer Eye Contact: May produce mild, transient irritation Inhalation: Low vapor pressure means low risk of harmful effects under normal conditions Long-Term Exposure: No evidence of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity from animal studies Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, ingestion, and skin/eye contact
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to be harmful to aquatic organisms Mobility: Readily soluble in water; may leach to groundwater if released in large amounts Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable; breaks down readily in the environment Bioaccumulation Potential: Low, due to easy degradation and water solubility Other Adverse Effects: No known significant effects in normal use
Waste Disposal: Dispose of in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Always avoid discharge into environment Container Disposal: Rinse thoroughly before recycling or disposal Recycling Information: Many localities allow recycling if uncontaminated
UN Number: Not regulated for transport Transport Hazard Class: Not considered hazardous Packing Group: Not applicable Special Precautions: Secure containers during transit to prevent leaks or spillage Shipping Name: Propanediol
OSHA Status: Not considered hazardous under OSHA regulations TSCA Inventory: Listed SARA Title III: Not listed as a reportable substance REACH Status: Registered California Prop 65: Not listed Other Regulations: Check specific country and regional regulations
