| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Colorless liquid; unpleasant odor. Slightly soluble in water.
| [General Description]
Colorless liquid with a disagreeable odor. Mp: -30°C. Density 1.37 g cm-3 at 20°C. Slightly soluble in water (7.97 g L-1 H2O at 24.85°C). | [Reactivity Profile]
1,2-PROPANEDIOL DINITRATE is explosive. Acts as a strong oxidizing agent. Heating may cause a violent combustion or explosion producing toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides). May also decompose explosively from shock, friction or from a build-up of electrostatic charge that sparks suddenly to ground. Can begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in an explosion if mixed with reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides, and nitrides and numerous ordinary combustible materials. Reacts violently with Al, BP, cyanides, esters, PN2H, P, NaCN, SnCl2, sodium hypophosphite, and thiocyanates. Reacts with acids and with alkalis, including ammonia and amines. Must be stored in a cool, ventilated place, away from acute fire hazards and easily oxidized materials. | [Hazard]
Toxic by inhalation and skin absorption.
Headache and central nervous system impairment.
| [Potential Exposure]
Propylene glycol dinitrate has been
used as a torpedo propellant. The explosion potential is
similar to ethylene glycol dinitrate. | [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, includ-
ing 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 medi-
cal attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.
Medical observation is recommended for 24?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.

UN0473 Substances, explosive, n.o.s., Hazard
Class: 1.1A; Labels:1.1A-Explosive (with a mass explosion
hazard); A-Substances which are expected to mass detonate
very soon after fire reaches them, Technical Name
Required. | [Incompatibilities]
Explosive. A strong oxidizer. Contact
with ammonia compounds, amines, strong acids; reducing
agents; combustible materials may result in fire and explo-
sion. It is similar to ethylene glycol dinitrate in explosion
potential. Propylene glycol dinitrate may explode if
strongly shocked or heated. Propylene glycol dinitrate is
explosive. Acts as a strong oxidizing agent. Heating may
cause a violent combustion or explosion producing toxic
fumes (nitrogen oxides). May also decompose explosively
from shock, friction or from a build-up of electrostatic
charge that sparks suddenly to ground. Can begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in an explosion if mixed
with reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides, and
nitrides and numerous ordinary combustible materials.
Reacts violently with al, bp, cyanides, esters, pn2h, p, nacn,
sncl2, sodium hypophosphite, and thiocyanates. Reacts
with acids and with alkalis, including ammonia and
amines . | [Waste Disposal]
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. | [Health Hazard]
Propylene glycol dinitrate
(PGDN) is a vasodilator, and at extremely high
concentrations it causes methemoglobin
formation. | [Carcinogenicity]
Negative results were reported in various
mutagenic assays including the Ames Salmonella
assay (with or without microsomal activation),
sister chromatid exchange assay in mouse
lymphoma cells, mouse bone marrow cytogenic
analysis, and mouse dominant lethal
assay. |

0473 | [HazardClass ]
1.1A | [Safety Profile]
Poison by ingestion and
subcutaneous routes. Moderately toxic by
intraperitoneal and intravenous routes.
Human systemic effects by inhalation:
conjunctiva irritation, headache. An eye
irritant. When heated to decomposition it
emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also
