Stored in a ventilated and dry warehouse.
Propyl acetate should be stored properly to ensure its safety and maintain its quality. Here are some guidelines for storing propyl acetate:
1. Container: Store propyl acetate in airtight containers made of compatible materials such as glass or certain plastics. Make sure the container is clearly labeled.
2. Location: Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks or open flame as Propyl Acetate is flammable.
3. Temperature: Store below 25°C (77°F) to prevent degradation or pressure buildup in container.
4. Avoid Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays as these can affect the stability of the chemicals.
5. Incompatibility: Keep away from strong oxidants, acids and bases as they will react with propyl acetate.
6. Safety Precautions: Ensure storage areas are equipped with appropriate safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and spill control materials.
Propyl acetate can be harmful to humans if not handled properly. Here are some key points about its potential health effects:
1. Inhalation: Exposure to propyl acetate vapor can cause respiratory irritation, dizziness, headache and nausea. Prolonged or high-intensity exposure may cause more serious respiratory problems.
2. Skin Contact: Contact may cause skin irritation or dermatitis. Prolonged contact may cause more severe skin reactions.
3. Eye Contact: Propyl acetate may cause eye irritation resulting in redness, tearing and discomfort.
4. Ingestion: Ingestion of propyl acetate may be harmful and may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and other serious health effects.
5. Flammability: As a flammable liquid, propyl acetate presents a fire hazard and may cause additional risks upon contact.
When transporting propyl acetate, it is important to follow specific precautions to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Here are some key considerations to take into account:
1. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with local, national and international regulations regarding the transport of dangerous goods. Propyl acetate is classified as a flammable liquid and must therefore be transported under relevant guidelines (e.g. UN 1279).
2. Packaging: Use appropriate containers designed for transporting flammable liquids. The containers should be tightly sealed and made of compatible materials (such as glass or certain plastics). Make sure the packaging is strong enough to withstand handling and shipping conditions.
3. LABELLING: Clearly label the container with the correct shipping name, UN number and hazard symbol. Include any necessary handling instructions and safety information.
4. Temperature Control: Avoid exposing propyl acetate to extreme temperatures during transportation. It should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place to prevent pressure buildup and potential leakage.
5. Avoid Mixing: Do not transport Propyl Acetate together with incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers, acids, or bases to prevent hazardous reactions.
6. Emergency Procedures: Develop emergency response procedures in case spills or leaks occur during transportation. Ensure personnel involved in transportation are trained to handle hazardous materials.
7. Documentation: Prepare and attach all necessary shipping documents, such as bills of lading and safety data sheets (SDS) to provide information about the materials being shipped.
