N-Propyl formate Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. An irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Narcotic in high concentration. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Ignites on contact with potassium-tert-butoxide. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS.

N-Propyl formate Standards and Recommendations

DOT Classification:  3; Label: Flammable Liquid

N-Propyl formate Specification

1.General Description : Slightly soluble in water and less dense than water. Hence floats on water. Vapors are heavier than air. 2.Air & Water Reactions: Highly flammable.
3.Reactivity Profile : Propyl formates are esters. React with acids to liberate heat along with propanols and formic acid. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides.
4.Health Hazard :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.
5.Fire Hazard: Highly flammable: N-Propyl formate (CAS NO.110-74-7) 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.
