PROPANE

CAS: 74-98-6

RTECS: TX2275000

Fraction By Weight: 100%

OSHA PEL 1000 PPM

ACGIH TLV: ASPHYXIANT; 9293

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:LIQUID MAY CAUSE FREEZING OF TISSUE
SIMILAR TO THERMAL BURN. INHALATION OF CONCENTRATIONS BELOW 10,000
PPM HAS LITTLE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT. HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS MAY
CAUSE DIZZINESS TO ANESTHESIA & RE SPIRATORY ARREST. EYES:MODERATE
IRRITATION. THERE ARE NO REPORTED EFFECTS FROM LONG-TERM LOW-LEVEL
EXPOSU
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS COMPOUND CONTAINS NO INGREDIENTS AT
CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.1% OR GREATER THAT ARE CARCINOGENS OR SUSPECT
CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:ABOVE 100,000 PPM; SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE MAY
INCLUDE DIZZINESS, STUPOR, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS. ACGIH CLASSIFIES
PROPANE AS AN ASPHYXIANT. THERE IS NO RECOMMENDED TLV.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE KNOWN

First Aid:EYES: FOR LIQUID CONTACT, FLUSH EYES WITH LUKEWARM WATER FOR
15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL CARE. SKIN: FOR BURNS FROM LIQUID CONTACT,
IMMEDIATELY PLACE AFFECTED AREA IN LUKEWARM WATER AND KEEP AT THIS
TEMPE RATURE UNTIL CIRCULATION RETURNS OR USEBODYHEAT TO WARM
FROSTBITE AREAS. GET MEDICAL CARE. INHALATION: REMOVE PERSON TO
FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. GET
MEDICAL CARE.

Lower Limits:2.15
Upper Limits:9.60
Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY: CLASS A-B-C OR BC FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.
Fire Fighting Procedures:STOP GAS FLOW. COOL FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS &
DISPERSE UNIGNITED GAS/VAPOR W/WATER. LPGAS LIQ./VAPOR MAY BE
DISPERSED W/WATER SPRAY OR FLOODING IF NOT IGNITED.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IF IGNITION HAS OCCURRED & NO WATER
AVAILABLE, TANK METAL MAY WEAKEN FROM OVER-HEATING. EVACUATE AREA.

Spill Release Procedures:STOP LEAK IF POSSIBLE. ELIMINATE ALL SOURCES
OF IGNITION. VENTILATE AREA. EVACUATE ALL PERSONNEL. PROPANE IS
HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN SETTLE INTO LOW AREAS. REMAIN UPWIND OF
LEAK. PREVENT VAPOR FROM E NTERING INTO SEWER, BASEMENTS OR
CONFINED AREAS.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT APPLICABLE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:CYLINDERS SHOULD NOT BE DROPPED. STORE
IN UPRIGHT POSITION. INSTALL PROTECTIVE CAPS WHEN NOT CONNECTED FOR
USE.
Other Precautions:STORAGE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE KEPT BELOW 125F.
CYLINDERS MUST NOT BE RECHARGED.

Respiratory Protection:SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHERE THE
CONCENTRATION OF PROPANE WOULD REDUCE OXYGEN LEVEL BELOW 18% IN
INHALED AIR.
Ventilation:USE EXPLOSION PROOF VENTILATION EQUIPMENT.
Protective Gloves:INSULATED LEATHER GLOVES AS REQUIRED.
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AND
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES. USE PROPER CARE WHEN HANDLING AND STORING
CYLINDERS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
REFER TO CGA BULLETIN SB-2 "OXYGEN DEFICIENT ATMOSPHERES".
