Hazard information

Regulatory Information · 4 items

Chemical: Propane, 1-chloro-2-methyl-

Status: Active Update: 13-01-2023 https://echa.europa.eu/registration-dossier/-/registered-dossier/20738

1-Chloro-2-methylpropane: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act requires public and private employers to provide information about hazardous substances at their workplaces. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.)

Fire HazardsHighly flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.
Hazards SummaryNo listed effects of short-term or long-term exposure; [ICSC] An irritant; [Alfa Aesar MSDS] See n-Butyl chloride.
UN ClassificationUN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: II
Chemical DangersDecomposes on burning. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including hydrogen chloride (see ICSC 0163) and phosgene (see ICSC 0007). Reacts violently with strong oxidants and powdered metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
Physical DangersThe vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated.

Safety & protection

Fire FightingUse powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
First Aid Measures · 4 items

Fresh air, rest.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

Safe StorageFireproof. Separated from powdered metals and strong oxidants.
Spillage Disposal · 1 item

Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Eye PreventionWear safety spectacles.
Fire Prevention · 1 item

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.
