| 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. | | 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. |
