| SECTION 3: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION | |
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS PROPYLENE A COLORLESS LIQUID THAT RAPIDLY TURNS INTO
A GAS AT STANDARD ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURE. PROPYLENE HAS A
SLIGHT HYDROCARBON ODOR. IN COMMERCE PROPYLENE IS PACKAGED AS A LIQUEFIED
GAS UNDER PRESSURE. PROPYLENE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. AT HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS IT ACTS AS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT BY DILUTING AND DISPLACING
OXYGEN, PARTICULARLY IN CONFINED SPACES. DIRECT CONTACT WITH LIQUEFIED
PRODUCT MAY CAUSE FREEZE BURNS AND FROSTBITE. USE THIS PRODUCT ONLY IN WELL
VENTILATED AREAS AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE, PROPER RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE WORN.
| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH EYES WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES WHILE OCCASIONALLY
LIFTING THE EYELIDS. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT:
REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION IF IRRITATION OR REDNESS DEVELOPS. IN CASE OF FROSTBITE, PLACE
AFFECTED AREA IN WARM WATER OR WRAP IN BLANKETS IF WARM WATER IS NOT
AVAILABLE. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. ADMINISTER OXYGEN OR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF
NECESSARY. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
RISK OF INGESTION IS EXTREMELY LOW. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IN
CASES OF INGESTION OR ORAL EXPOSURE.
| SECTION 5: FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA | |
FIRE HAZARDS:
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. LIQUID RELEASES VAPORS THAT READILY FORM A FLAMMABLE
MIXTURE WITH AIR. DANGEROUS FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD WHEN EXPOSED TO
HEAT, SPARKS OR FLAME. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY ACCUMULATE IN
LOW-LYING AREAS AND FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES. VAPORS MAY TRAVEL LONG
DISTANCES TO A POINT OF IGNITION. CONTAINER MAY EXPLODE IN HEAT OR FLAME.
FLASH POINT: -162 DEG. F
AUTO IGNITION: 927 DEG. F
LOWER EXPLOSION LIMIT: 2.0% BY VOLUME IN AIR
UPPER EXPLOSION LIMIT: 11.0% BY VOLUME IN AIR
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE AND VARIOUS NON-COMBUSTED HYDROCARBONS.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: DRY CHEMICAL, FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, HALON OR WATER.
UNUSUAL FIRE HAZARDS:
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN FIGHTING LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS FIRES. HEATED
CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE VIOLENTLY AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO VESSEL
OVERPRESSURE (BLEVE-BOILING LIQUID EXPANDING VAPOR EXPLOSIONS). IF SAFE TO
DO SO STOP THE FLOW OF GAS AND ALLOW THE FLAME TO BURN OUT. EXTINGUISHING
THE FLAME BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE SUPPLY CAN CAUSE FORMATION OF EXPLOSIVE
MIXTURES. IN SOME CASES IT MAY BE PREFERRED TO ALLOW THE FLAME TO CONTINUE
TO BURN. USE WATER TO COOL EQUIPMENT, SURFACES AND CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO
FIRE AND EXCESSIVE HEAT. CONTINUE USE WATER TO COOL CONTAINERS UNTIL WELL
AFTER FLAMES ARE EXTINGUISHED.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. IF POSSIBLE, STOP THE FLOW OF PRODUCT.
EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL FROM THE AREA. VENTILATE THE AREA THOROUGHLY. TAKE
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST STATIC DISCHARGES. VAPORS ARE HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY
ACCUMULATE IN LOW-LYING AREAS AND FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
KEEP AWAY FROM FLAME, SPARKS AND EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES. USE ONLY IN
WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. CONTAINERS MUST BE GROUNDED TO AVOID GENERATION OF
STATIC CHARGES. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE HANDLING PRODUCT. FOLLOW USE
INSTRUCTIONS FULLY AND CAREFULLY.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION,
STRONG OXIDIZERS OR OTHER INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. KEEP CONTAINERS CLOSED
AT ALL TIMES. CHECK REGULARLY FOR LEAKS. ENSURE EQUIPMENT IS ELECTRICALLY
BONDED AND GROUNDED TO PREVENT STATIC ACCUMULATION. POST "NO SMOKING OR
OPEN FLAME" SIGNS IN THE STORAGE AND USE AREAS. PROTECT CYLINDERS AGAINST
PHYSICAL DAMAGE. DO NOT CUT, DRILL, GRIND OR WELD ON EMPTY CYLINDERS SINCE
THEY MAY CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE RESIDUES. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REFILL CYLINDERS.
| SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: SEE SECTION 2.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
GOOD INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICE REQUIRES THAT ENGINEERING CONTROLS BE USED
WHERE FEASIBLE TO REDUCE WORKPLACE CONCENTRATIONS OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
VENTILATION:
USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION TO KEEP GAS AND VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS OF THIS
PRODUCT BELOW THE OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE AND FLAMMABILITY LIMITS,
PARTICULARLY IN CONFINED SPACES. USE MECHANICAL VENTILATION THAT IS
EXPLOSION PROOF.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
MAINTAIN OXYGEN LEVELS ABOVE 19.5% IN THE WORKPLACE. RESPIRATORS MUST BE
WORN IF AMBIENT CONCENTRATIONS OF CONTAMINANTS EXCEED PRESCRIBED EXPOSURE
LIMITS. SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE PRIOR TO RESPIRATOR SELECTION AND USE.
FOLLOW OSHA RESPIRATOR REGULATIONS (29 CFR 1910.134). SELECT RESPIRATOR
BASED ON ITS SUITABILITY TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE WORKER PROTECTION FOR GIVEN
WORK CONDITIONS, LEVEL OF AIRBORNE CONTAMINATION, AND PRESENCE OF
SUFFICIENT OXYGEN. WHEN REQUIRED, ONLY NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORS SHOULD
BE USED.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SHOULD BE WORN TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT. PROTECTIVE
GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN AS REQUIRED FOR WELDING OR BURNING. USE INSULATED
GLOVES WHERE THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF LIQUID CONTACT.
EYE PROTECTION:
USE SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES AS REQUIRED FOR WELDING OR BURNING. USE
SPLASH-PROOF GOGGLES OR FACESHIELD WHERE THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF
LIQUID CONTACT.

| SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
OVERVIEW:
PROPYLENE IS AN ANESTHETIC AND IS MILDLY IRRITATING TO THE MUCOUS
MEMBRANES. AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS PROPYLENE ACTS AS A SIMPLE ASPHYXIANT
WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL FOR SYSTEMIC TOXICITY. DIRECT CONTACT WITH
LIQUEFIED PRODUCT MAY CAUSE FREEZE BURNS AND FROSTBITE. ADDITIONAL DATA
CAN BE FOUND IN THE REGISTRY OF TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
AVAILABLE ON-LINE FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
AND HEALTH (NIOSH).
PRIMARY ENTRY ROUTES: INHALATION
TARGET ORGANS: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
INHALATION:
PRODUCT IS AN ANESTHETIC AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. INHALATION MAY CAUSE
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION PRODUCING DIZZINESS, DROWSINESS,
HEADACHE, AND SIMILAR NARCOTIC SYMPTOMS. EXTREMELY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
CAN CAUSE ASPHYXIATION AND DEATH BY DISPLACING OXYGEN FROM THE BREATHING
ATMOSPHERE.
EYES:
VAPOR IS GENERALLY NON-IRRITATING TO THE EYES. CONTACT WITH LIQUEFIED GAS
OR RAPIDLY EXPANDING GASES MAY CAUSE FREEZE BURNS AND FROSTBITE.
SKIN:
VAPOR IS GENERALLY NON-IRRITATING TO THE SKIN. CONTACT WITH LIQUEFIED GAS
OR RAPIDLY EXPANDING GASES MAY CAUSE FREEZE BURNS AND FROSTBITE.
INGESTION: INGESTION IS NOT LIKELY.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
CHRONIC DISEASES OR DISORDERS OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS:
PROPYLENE IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS BEING CARCINOGENIC BY THE INTERNATIONAL
AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC), THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM
(NTP), ACGIH OR OSHA.
| SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
PROPYLENE IS EXPECTED TO BE INHERENTLY BIODEGRADABLE. PROPYLENE IS READILY
DEGRADED BY MICROORGANISMS AND IS THEREFORE NOT EXPECTED TO BIOACCUMULATE
OR BIOCONCENTRATE IN ORGANISMS AND FOOD CHAINS. PROPYLENE EMISSIONS WOULD
HAVE PRACTICALLY NO ADVERSE EFFECTS ON PLANT GROWTH. NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE
SERIOUS SOIL OR GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION DUE TO RAPID EVAPORATION.
| SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS | |
USE THE CONTAINER UNTIL EMPTY. DO NOT DISPOSE OF ANY NON-EMPTY CONTAINER.
EMPTY CONTAINERS HAVE RESIDUAL VAPOR THAT IS FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
WASTE DISPOSAL MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.
