Chemical Name: 1-Aminopropane
Common Names: Propylamine, n-Propylamine
CAS Number: 107-10-8
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
Odor: Ammonia-like, strong
Molecular Formula: C3H9N
Molecular Weight: 59.11 g/mol
Main Hazards: Flammable, toxic if inhaled or ingested, corrosive to skin and eyes
Physical hazards: Vapors form explosive mixtures with air
Health hazards: Breathing in vapors can cause coughing, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath; skin and eye contact burn quickly
Warning symbols: Flammable, Harmful, Corrosive
Risk Phrases: Causes severe burns, highly flammable, risk of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure
Main Ingredient: 1-Aminopropane - Concentration above 99%
Impurities: Water trace, secondary amines trace limited by manufacturing process
Inhalation: Get to fresh air; symptoms such as chest tightness, throat irritation need urgent medical support, oxygen if necessary
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse thoroughly with running water; cover affected area loosely if skin is not broken; go to a medical facility if burns show
Eye contact: Rinse with water gently for several minutes, do not rub, get checked by an eye doctor
Swallowing: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get emergency care quickly
Precaution: Any exposure needing hospital care should include medical staff familiar with alkylamine toxicity
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, CO2, foam; water spray to keep containers cool is safe
Specific hazards: Vapors can travel along ground to ignition sources, flashback possible, burns with clean blue or invisible flame
Special protective equipment: Full turnout gear, self-contained breathing apparatus; exposure to heat releases toxic nitrogen oxides
Advice: Remove unaffected containers; keep area ventilated as much as possible
Personal precautions: Respiratory protection, splash-proof goggles, chemical-resistant gloves needed
Environmental precautions: Contain spill, keep out of drains and waterways, ventilate area, alert nearby staff in the event of large releases
Cleanup methods: Absorb using non-combustible absorbents like vermiculite, sand; collect spilled material in chemical waste containers
Emergency advice: Evacuate area until fumes clear, use water spray to knock down vapors if needed
Handling: Keep containers tightly closed; never eat, drink, or smoke in working area; use chemical fume hoods or local ventilation; avoid hot surfaces, static discharges
Storage: Store in cool, well-ventilated place, away from acids, oxidizers, ignition sources; use containers with proper chemical resistance such as HDPE or stainless steel
Storage temperature: Room-temperature storage works, avoid freezing or excessive heat
Advice: Check containers regularly for leaks; use proper labeling so all users know exact contents
Workplace controls: Mechanical ventilation, eye wash stations and emergency showers
Personal protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, chemical splash goggles, lab coats or aprons; use a NIOSH-approved respirator for vapor-heavy areas
Exposure limits: No OSHA PEL but some guidance suggests keeping airborne levels under 5 ppm
Work practice: Wash hands after use, remove PPE before breaks or leaving workplace, keep workspaces clutter-free
Appearance: Clear liquid
Odor: Strong, pungent
Boiling point: About 49°C
Melting point: -83°C
Flash point: -10°C (closed cup)
Vapor pressure: High at room temperature
Solubility: Miscible in water, alcohol, ether
Density: Approximately 0.72 g/cm³
Vapor density: Heavier than air
Stability: Chemically stable under recommended conditions
Reactivity: Sets off violent reactions with acids, acid chlorides, strong oxidizers
Decomposition products: Burning releases nitrogen oxides, ammonia, carbon monoxide
Incompatibilities: Avoid copper, zinc, metals, strong reducing agents
Routes of exposure: Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion
Acute effects: Respiratory tract burns, eye/skin burns, central nervous system depression
Chronic effects: Ongoing contact can damage airways, skin, sensory organs; large doses harmful for kidneys
Carcinogenicity: No solid human data; not on IARC or OSHA carcinogen lists
Environmental fate: Volatile, quickly disperses by evaporation, dissolves in water
Aquatic impact: Harmful to fish and aquatic life; lowers oxygen in water by excess biological demand
Soil impact: Mobile in soils, risk for groundwater contamination when spills are not managed
Bioaccumulation: Not expected in significant amounts due to volatility and water solubility
Waste handling: Collect all contaminated material; burn in chemical incinerator with afterburner and scrubber only
Do not pour down drain: Avoid mixing with solid waste or municipal drains
Local rules: Follow all local, regional, and national regulations for hazardous chemical disposal
Transport classification: Flammable liquid, hazardous for road/sea/air
Packaging: Use drums or containers rated for flammable corrosives
Shipping conditions: Keep upright, protect from direct sunlight and heat sources, ventilate during transfer
Labeling: Must state “Flammable Liquid” and “Corrosive” with appropriate hazard pictograms
Labelling: Subject to hazardous substance labeling in most countries
Reporting: Any significant spill must be reported to environmental protection authorities
Restrictions: Not for consumer or domestic use, strictly regulated for workplace handling
Registration: Requirements differ by country; chemical inventories (such as US TSCA, EU REACH) list 1-Aminopropane
