Fire/Explosion Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air in confined areas, containers may rupture in extreme heat
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe, avoid discharge into drains, waterways, or soil
Cleanup Procedures: Absorb with inert material such as sand or vermiculite, sweep or shovel into suitable containers, ventilate area, wash spill site after material pickup if safe to do so
Disposal: Dispose of waste in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations
Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, avoid direct contact with skin or eyes, wear proper personal protective equipment, keep away from ignition sources and open flames
Hygiene: Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep away from incompatible substances such as oxidizing agents and strong acids
Packaging Materials: Use chemical-resistant drum or glass bottles as appropriate; bulk storage must have secondary containment
Control Parameters: No established exposure limits for Verdyl Propionate, monitor for nuisance vapor or mist
Engineering Controls: General room ventilation or fume hood, local exhaust at process points
Personal Protection: Chemical safety goggles, nitrile gloves, lab coat or apron, use NIOSH-approved respirator if exposure exceeds vapor threshold
Environmental Controls: Procedures in place to prevent accidental environmental release, regular training for staff handling bulk material
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Sweet, floral, herbaceous
Odor Threshold: Low, distinctive due to aromatic properties
pH: Not applicable as a non-aqueous liquid
Melting/Freezing Point: Data not readily available, below room temperature
Boiling Point: Approximately 240–265°C
Flash Point: Between 93°C and 100°C (closed cup)
Evaporation Rate: Slower than water, moderate volatility
Flammability: Liquid, can ignite above flash-point temperature
Vapor Pressure: Low at room temperature
Vapor Density: Heavier than air
Relative Density: Approximately 0.98–1.01 (water = 1)
Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents
Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water): High, favoring organic phase
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not established
Decomposition Temperature: Not established, avoid overheating
Viscosity: Thin liquid, flows readily
Chemical Stability: Stable at normal temperatures and storage conditions
Reactivity: Avoid strong oxidizers and acids, which may cause exothermic reactions
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Under fire: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possibly other toxic fumes
Polymerization: Does not undergo hazardous polymerization
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents; avoid contact with strong reducing materials
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin, eye, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: Slightly toxic if swallowed or in contact with skin
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause skin irritation with redness and discomfort
Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes eye irritation
Respiratory Sensitization: Not classified as a respiratory sensitizer but inhaling concentrated vapors can cause discomfort
Chronic Effects: No evidence of reproductive, mutagenic, or carcinogenic effects under normal conditions
Synergistic Products: None known
Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms with possible long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Moderately persistent, slowly biodegradable under natural conditions
Bioaccumulative Potential: High partition coefficient suggests possible bioaccumulation
Mobility in Soil: Low water solubility limits mobility; tends to adsorb to soil particles
Other Adverse Effects: Discharge to waterways can affect local aquatic life and ecosystem stability
Disposal Methods: Do not release into drains or surface water; incinerate or land-fill according to local regulations
Packaging Disposal: Triple rinse containers before recycling or disposal, do not reuse containers
