| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Propylene is a colorless gas. Slight odor. The
Odor Threshold is 23 ppm. | [Potential Exposure]
Propylene is used in production of
fabricated polymers, fibers, polypropylene resins; solvents,
isopropyl alcohol, propylene dimer, and trimer as gasoline
components and detergent raw materials; propylene oxide;
cumene, synthetic glycerol; isoprene, and oxo-alcohols. | [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 immedi-
ately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immedi-
ately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from
exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precau-
tions, 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 quanti-
ties of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an uncon-
scious person vomit. If frostbite has occurred, seek
medical attention immediately; do NOT rub the affected
areas or flush them with water. In order to prevent further
tissue damage, do NOT attempt to remove frozen clothing
from frostbitten areas. If frostbite has NOT occurred,
immediately and thoroughly wash contaminated skin with
soap and water. | [Shipping]
UN1077 Propylene, Hazard Class: 2.1; Labels:
2.1-Flammable gas. UN1075 Petroleum gases, liquefied or
Liquefied petroleum gas, Hazard Class: 2.1; Labels: 2.1-
Flammable gas. Cylinders must be transported in a secure
upright position, in a well-ventilated truck. Protect cylinder
and labels from physical damage. The owner of the com-
pressed gas cylinder is the only entity allowed by federal
law (49CFR) to transport and refill them. It is a violation
of transportation regulations to refill compressed gas cylin-
ders without the express written permission of the owner. | [Incompatibilities]
Propylene forms explosive mixture with
air. Violent reaction with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, per-
oxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine,
fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep
away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids,
oxoacids, epoxides, and many other compounds. Able to
form unstable peroxides; can polymerize, especially in
heat, direct sunlight, oxidizers and other chemicals. | [Waste Disposal]
Return refillable compressed
gas cylinders to supplier. Use a licensed professional waste
disposal service to dispose of this material, perhaps using
controlled incineration. All federal, state, and local environ-
mental regulations must be observed. |
