General Description
Viscous colorless to amber liquid with an ethereal odor.
Reactivity Profile
2,3-DICHLORO-1-PROPANOL(616-23-9) is incompatible with oxidizers, oxygen and peroxides.
Air & Water Reactions
May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air. Slightly soluble in water.
Potential Exposure
It is used as a solvent for hard resins
and nitrocellulose; in the manufacture of photographic
chemicals and lacquer; as a cement for celluloid; and as a
binder of water colors. It occurs in effluents from glycerol
and halohydrin production plants.
Fire Hazard
This chemical is combustible.
First aid
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
