Description of first aid measures
General advice Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety.
Inhalation Remove to fresh air. If breathing is irregular or stopped, administer artificial respiration. Keep victim warm and quiet. Seek immediate medical attention/advice.
Skin contact Immediately flush skin with water and rinse skin with soap and water for at least 5-10 minutes. Use lukewarm water if possible. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if redness does not disappear.
Eye contact Important! Immediately rinse cautiously with tempered water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention.
Ingestion Clean mouth with water and drink plenty of water afterwards. Do NOT induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention/advice.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Inhalation: May cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract. Excessive inhalation of high concentrations may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. Skin contact: May cause redness and swelling of the skin. Absorption of harmful amounts is not likely. Eye contact: Causes severe irritation with flood of tears and pain and strong redness and swelling of the eye. Risk of damage to the conjunctiva and cornea. Ingestion: May cause irritation of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach including severe pain. Nausea, vomiting,
______

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Extinguishing powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media High volume water jet. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical The substance is a flammable liquid and may form explosive air/vapour mixtures. Vapour is heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas and travel a considerable distance up to the source of ignition. When flames are extinguished, explosive re-ignition may occur.
Hazardous combustion products Carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon monoxide (CO).
Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Additional information Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions Handle as close as possible to strictly controlled conditions (meaning no exposure). ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Keep unprotected persons away. In case of major spill contact the rescue services. For emergency responders: Wear fully protective suit. Wear full face mask with filter for organic substances.
Environmental precautions Do not allow into any sewer, on the ground or into any body of water. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. See Section 12 for additional ecological information.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Methods for containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Small spill Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Large spill Pump up the product into a spare container suitably labelled. Ground container and fittings.
Methods for cleaning up Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Reference to other sections See Section 7,8,13 for more information.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling Handle as close as possible to strictly controlled conditions (meaning no exposure). Comply with the legislation concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take action to prevent static discharges.
General Hygiene Considerations Not applicable. No exposure expected.
______
Page 3 / 9 AGHS - EN Propionaldehyde Revision Date 05-Nov-2019 ______
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store under inert atmosphere, e.g. nitrogen pad. Keep in a cool place.

Control parameters Exposure Guidelines Users are advised to consider national Occupational Exposure Limits or other equivalent values, (if existing).
Chemical Name ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL NIOSH IDLH Propionaldehyde TWA: 20 ppm Not available Not available 123-38-6
Appropriate engineering controls Comply with the legislation concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Tight sealing safety goggles. Hand Protection Wear protective butyl rubber gloves. Glove thickness. >0.7 mm. Ensure that the breakthrough time of the glove material is not exceeded. Refer to glove supplier for information on breakthrough time for specific gloves. Skin and body protection Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, chemical resistant boots, chemical-protection suit. Respiratory protection Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term exposure: Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point <65°C, e.g. EN 14387 Type AX) Suitable respiratory protection for higher concentrations or long-term exposure: Self-contained breathing apparatus.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Reactivity The substance is an aldehyde and may undergo reversible addition reactions such as hydration and hemiacetal formation, acetal formation, enamine formation and cyanohydrin formation, and irreversible addition reactions such as reduction by complex metal hydrides and addition of organometallic reagents. The substance may as well undergo other carbonyl group reactions such as reduction and oxidation.
Chemical stability In contact with air/oxygen the product will slowly form peroxides. The reaction is activated by light or catalyzed by salts of transition metals. Reacts with water or with the moisture in the air to form propionic acid.
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions Reacts with many compounds; Alcohols, Amines Polymerization may occur in presence of acids or caustics, leading to pressure build-up in closed systems. Contaminated organic fibrous materials may catch fire in contact with air.
Conditions to avoid Avoid contact with heat, sparks, open flame, static discharge or any other sources of ignition. When finely distributed, self-ignition is possible.
