Products Description
Organic compound
N-propanol, also known as 1-propanol, is an organic compound with a molecular formula of C3H8O and a molecular weight of 60.10. At room temperature and pressure, n-propanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong musty taste similar to rubbing alcohol, and can be dissolved in water, ethanol and ether.
Propionaldehyde is generally synthesized from ethylene by carbonyl group and then reduced. N-propanol can be used as solvent instead of ethanol with lower boiling point and can also be used for chromatographic analysis.
Safety measure
Exposure to high concentrations of n-propanol vapors can result in headaches, drowsiness, ataxia, and eye, nose, and throat irritation.
Oral administration can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, drowsiness, coma and even death.
Prolonged skin contact can cause dry, chapped skin.
Prevention method
1). Closed operation, full ventilation. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures.
2). It is recommended that operators wear filter gas mask (half mask), safety glasses, anti-static work clothes, and latex gloves.
3). Keep away from fire and heat sources, and no smoking is allowed in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment.
4). Prevent steam from leaking into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidants, acids and halogens.
5) When filling, the flow rate should be controlled, and there is a grounding device to prevent static accumulation. When handling, light loading and unloading should be done to prevent damage to packaging and containers.
6). Equipped with the corresponding varieties and quantities of fire equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may have harmful residues.
Emergency treatment
1). Quickly evacuate the personnel from the contaminated area to the safety zone, and isolate them, strictly restrict access, and cut off the fire source.
2) It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and anti-static work clothes. Cut off the source of leakage as much as possible.
3). Prevent flowing into sewers, flood drains and other restricted Spaces.
4). Small amount of leakage: adsorption or absorption with sand or other non-combustible materials. It can also be washed with a lot of water and diluted into the waste water system.
5). A large number of leaks: build a embankment or dig a pit to contain them. Cover with foam to reduce steam hazards. Transfer to a tank truck or special collector with an explosion-proof pump for recycling or transport to a waste disposal site.
6). Eye contact: Lift eyelids, rinse with running water or normal saline, and seek medical attention.
7). Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin thoroughly with soapy water and clean water.
8). Ingestion: Drink enough warm water, induce vomiting, wash the stomach, and seek medical attention immediately.
9). Inhalation: quickly leave the scene to the fresh air. Keep your airway clear. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. If breathing stops, immediately give artificial respiration and seek medical attention.
Fire protection measures
1). If possible, move the container from the fire to an open area.
2). Spray water to keep the fire container cool until the fire is over.
3) If the container in the fire site has changed color or generated sound from the safety pressure relief device, it must be evacuated immediately.
4) Fire extinguishing agent: anti-soluble foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand.
5). Harmful combustion products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
