Description

Dichloropropane is a colorless stable liquid. Sweet, chloroform-like odor. The odor threshold in air is 0.25 ppm.


Colorless liquid with a chloroform-like odor. Toxic by ingestion and inhalation.


Dichloropropane is used as a chemical intermediate in perchloroethylene and carbon tetrachloride synthesis, and as a lead scavenger for antiknock fluids. It is also used as a solvent for fats, oils, waxes, gums and resins; and in solvent mixtures for cellulose esters and ethers. Other applications include the use of dichloropropane; as a fumigant, alone and in combination with dichloropropane, as a scouring compound; and a metal degreasing agent. It is also used as an insecticidal fumigant


UN1279 1,2-Dichloropropane, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid.


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. 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.

Safety Information

II

3.1

May form explosive mixture with air. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its vapors. Contact with strong oxidizers, powdered aluminum may cause fire and explosion hazard. Strong acids can cause decomposition and the formation of hydrogen chloride vapors. Reacts with strong bases; o-dichlorobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane. Corrosive to aluminum and its alloys. Attacks some plastics, rubber, and coatings.

1993

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.

Drug Information

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.
