563-58-6

Used as a soil fumigant prior to planting crops, such as cotton, sugar beet, potatoes; used in combinations with dichloropropanes as a soil fumigant. Workers engaged in manufacture, formulation and application of this soil fumigant and nematocide.

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.

UN2047 Dichloropropene, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid.

Vapor may form explosive mixture with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides. May accumulate static electrical charges, and may cause ignition of its vapors. Incompatible with strong acids; oxidizers, aluminum or magnesium compounds; aliphatic amines; alkanolamines, alkaline materials; halogens, or corrosives. Note: Epichlorohydrin may be added as a stabilizer.

Molecular weight=110.97; Specific gravity(H2O:1)=1.21; Boiling point=107.7℃; 103-110℃(mixed cis- and trans-isomers); Freezing/Meltingpoint=283.8℃; Vapor pressure=29 mmHg at 20℃;Flash point=35℃. The explosive limits are LEL=5.3%;UEL=14.5%. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability 3, Reactivity 0.Practically insoluble in water; solubility=0.2%.

1,3-Dichloropropene is a colorless to strawcolored liquid. Sharp, sweet, irritating, chloroform-like odor.

Incineration, preferably after mixing with another combustible fuel. Care must be exercised to assure complete combustion to prevent the formation of phosgene. An acid scrubber is necessary to remove the halo acids produced. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≧100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.

1,1-Dichloropropene is useful in the preparation of novel 1,1-dichloropropene derivatives with insecticidal activity against Prodenia litura for Agricultural purposes.

Color Code—Red: Flammability Hazard: Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with 1,3-dichloropropene you should betrained on its proper handling and storage. Before enteringconfined space where this chemical may be present, checkto make sure that an explosive concentration does not exist.1,3-Dichloropropene must be stored to avoid contact withaluminum or magnesium compounds, substances containingfluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, and alkaline or corrosive materials, since violent reactions occur. Store in tightlyclosed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away fromheat. Separate outside storage is preferred. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames are prohibited where1,3-dichloropropene is handled, used, or stored. Metal containers involving the transfer of=gallons or more of 1,3-dichloropropene should be grounded and bonded. Drumsmust be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuumbungs, and flame arresters. Use only nonsparking tools andequipment, especially when opening and closing containersof 1,3-dichloropropene. A regulated, marked area should beestablished where this chemical is handled, used, or storedin compliance with OSHA Standard 1910.1045.
