8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Wear impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Respiratory protection

Wear dust mask when handling large quantities.

Thermal hazards

9.Physical and chemical properties

10.Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

no data available

10.2 Chemical stability

It is unstable under ordinary conditions, but it is stabilized by small additions of 2-nitrodiphenylamine and di-n-butyl sebacate... .

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

PROPYLENE GLYCOL DINITRATE is explosive. Acts as a strong oxidizing agent. Heating may cause a violent combustion or explosion producing toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). May also decompose explosively from shock, friction or from a build-up of electrostatic charge that sparks suddenly to ground. Can begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in an explosion if mixed with reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides, and nitrides and numerous ordinary combustible materials. Reacts violently with Al, BP, cyanides, esters, PN2H, P, NaCN, SnCl2, sodium hypophosphite, and thiocyanates. Reacts with acids and with alkalis, including ammonia and amines. Must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from acute fire hazards and easily oxidized materials.

10.4 Conditions to avoid

no data available

10.5 Incompatible materials

Ammonia compounds, amines, oxidizers, reducing agents, combustible materials ... Similar to ethylene glycol dinitrate in explosion potential.

12.2 Persistence and degradability

Using Otto fuel II (76% 1,2-propanediol dinitrate, 22.5% dibutyl sebacate, and 1.5% 2-nitrodiphenylamine) as substrate, 1,2-propanediol dinitrate was shown to be poorly biodegraded using an activated sewage sludge, a pure culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and a commercially available inoculum employed for the degradation of nitrogen containing wastes(1).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for 1,2-propanediol dinitrate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 1.6(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 1,2-propanediol dinitrate can be estimated to be 68(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,2-Propanediol dinitrate is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
