106-92-3

Allyl glycidyl ether is a stable, colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant odor. It is incompatible with strong oxidizers agents, acids, and bases. It may form peroxides in storage if in contact with air.

colourless liquid

A colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. Flash point 135°F. Slightly less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Poisonous by ingestion and mildly toxic by inhalation and skin contact. Very irritating to skin and eyes. Used to make other chemicals.

ALLYL GLYCIDYL ETHER(106-92-3) reacts violently with oxidizing agents. Can form peroxides. Polymerizes readily [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p.128].

Flammable. Insoluble in water.

Skin, eye, and upper respiratory tract irri- tant, and dermatitis. Questionable carcinogen.

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.

Occupational workers exposed to allyl glycidyl ether develop severe symptoms of poisoning that include, but are not limited to, irritation of the eyes, redness, pain, blurred vision, deep skin burns, respiratory system; causes damage of the mucous membranes, dermatitis, burning sensation, shortness of breath, headache, drowsiness, dullness, nausea, vomiting, pulmonary edema, narcosis, possible hematopoietic and reproductive effects. Acute exposure may cause CNS depression. The major target organs include the eyes, skin, respiratory system, blood, and the reproductive system.

Used as a solvent and emulsifier; making epoxy resins, chlorinated compounds; and rubber.

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: 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.

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy.

UN2219 Allyl glycidal ether, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid

May form explosive mixture with air. Contact with acids or bases may cause explosive polymerization. Contact with oxidizers or amines may cause fire and explosions.

Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.

Clear, colorless, watery, combustible liquid with a strong, pleasant odor. An odor threshold value of 47 mg/m³ was reported (quoted, Verschueren, 1983).

The length of time something has existed.

AGE is manufactured through the condensation of allyl alcohol and epichlorohydrin with subsequent dehydrochlorination with caustic to form the epoxy ring.

In a 2-year inhalation carcinogenicity study in Osborne Mendel rats and B6C3F1 mice (50 of each sex at each exposure level), animals were exposed to concentrations of 0, 5, or 10 ppm AGE, 6 h/day, 5 days/ week. Although occasional respiratory epithelial tumors were observed, the NTP concluded the data provided only equivocal evidence of carcinogenicity in male rats and female mice. No evidence was obtained to support a carcinogenic effect in female rats. Some evidence was provided for a carcinogenic response in male mice, which included three adenomas of the respiratory epithelium, dysplasia in four mice, and focal basal cell hyperplasia of the respiratory epithelium in the nasal passages of seven mice .

Biological. Bridié et al. (1979) reported BOD and COD values of 0.06 and 1.99 g/g using filtered effluent from a biological sanitary waste treatment plant. These values were determined using a standard dilution method at 20 °C for a period of 5 d. The ThOD for allyl glycidyl ether is 2.11 g/g.
Chemical/Physical. Hydrolysis of the epoxide ring is likely forming 1-allyloxy-2,3- dihydroxypropane (Perez and Osterman-Golkar, 2000).
