3-(Dimethylamino)propionitrile: 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.)

Excerpt from NIOSH Pocket Guide for Dimethylaminopropionitrile:；Exposure Routes: Inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact；Symptoms: Irritation eyes, skin; urinary disturbance; neurological disorders; pins & needles in hands & feet; muscle weak, lassitude (weakness, exhaustion), nausea, vomiting; decreased nerve conduction in lower legs；Target Organs: Eyes, skin, central nervous system, urinary tract (NIOSH, 2024)

Workers at polyurethane production plants developed neurogenic bladder dysfunction after exposure to the catalyst. [LaDou, p. 500] A skin and eye irritant.; [HSDB] Symptoms of workers included erectile dysfunction and urinary retention. Cystometrograms confirmed neurogenic bladder. In follow-up studies 2 years later, 11 workers were still symptomatic with bladder and sexual dysfunction. A smaller group still had evidence of sensory neuropathy. [Rom, p. 644] See NIAX catalyst ESN. See Propionitrile.

DIMETHYLAMINOPROPIONITRILE is combustible but non-flammable (flash point > 140 °F), reacts with oxidizing agents (Hazardous Chemicals Desk Reference, p. 426 (1987)). Reacts violently with LIAlH4, a strong reducing agent. Emits toxic oxides of nitrogen and cyanide fumes when heated to decomposition.

Exposures should be limited to as few workers as possible, while minimizing workplace exposure concentrations with effective work practices and engineering controls. Exposed workers should be carefully monitored for potential disorders of the nervous and genitourinary system. Although substitution is a possible control measure, alternatives to NIAX Catalyst ESN or its components should be evaluated with regard to possible adverse health effects.

Excerpt from NIOSH Pocket Guide for Dimethylaminopropionitrile:；Eye: IRRIGATE IMMEDIATELY - If this chemical contacts the eyes, immediately wash (irrigate) the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately.；Skin: WATER FLUSH IMMEDIATELY - If this chemical contacts the skin, immediately flush the contaminated skin with water. If this chemical penetrates the clothing, immediately remove the clothing and flush the skin with water. Get medical attention promptly.；Breathing: RESPIRATORY SUPPORT - If a person breathes large amounts of this chemical, move the exposed person to fresh air at once. If breathing has stopped, perform artificial respiration. Keep the affected person warm and at rest.

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

The worker should immediately wash the skin when it becomes contaminated.

Work clothing that becomes wet or significantly contaminated should be removed and replaced.

VAPOR WAS THOUGHT TO BE HAZARDOUS & CARE IN HANDLING WAS SUGGESTED.
