What is Propylamine?

Description

Propylamine is a colorless liquid that is slightly soluble in water. Specific gravity is 0.7, which is lighter than water. Propylamine is flammable, with a flammable range of 2%–10% in air. Boiling point is 120°F (48°C) and flash point is ?35°F (?37°C). Ignition temperature is 604°F (317°C). Vapor density is 2, which is heavier than air. In addition to being flammable, propylamine is corrosive and is a strong irritant to skin and tissue. The four-digit UN identification number is 1277. The NFPA 704 designation is health 3, flammability 3, and reactivity 0. It is shipped in glass bottles, cans, drums, and tank cars. The primary uses are as a chemical intermediate and as a lab reagent.
