A flammable liquid.
When heated to decomposition it emits
toxic vapors of Cl-. |
| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Colorless liquids. Insoluble in water. Used as soil fumigants and in organic synthesis. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Highly flammable. Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
Halogenated unsaturated aliphatics. | [Health Hazard]
May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. | [Fire Hazard]
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. | [Potential Exposure]
Used as a soil fumigant prior to
planting crops, such as cotton, sugar beet, potatoes; used in
combinations with dichloropropanes as a soil fumigant.
Workers engaged in manufacture, formulation and application of this soil fumigant and nematocide. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids.
Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical
contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash
immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention
immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove
from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal
precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has
stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer
promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical
has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large
quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an
unconscious person vomit. | [Shipping]
UN2047 Dichloropropene, Hazard Class: 3;
Labels: 3-Flammable liquid. | [Incompatibilities]
Vapor may form explosive mixture
with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates,
peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine,
fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep
away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids,
oxoacids, and epoxides. May accumulate static electrical
charges, and may cause ignition of its vapors. Incompatible
with strong acids; oxidizers, aluminum or magnesium compounds; aliphatic amines; alkanolamines, alkaline materials;
halogens, or corrosives. Note: Epichlorohydrin may be
added as a stabilizer. | [Waste Disposal]
Incineration, preferably
after mixing with another combustible fuel. Care must be
exercised to assure complete combustion to prevent the
formation of phosgene. An acid scrubber is necessary to
remove the halo acids produced. In accordance with
40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of
pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting
your local or federal environmental control agency, or by
contacting your regional EPA office. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on
acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≧100 kg/mo) must conform with
EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal. |
