SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
100 ppm; NIOSH has recommended that propyleneimine be treated as a potential human carcinogen.
The substance may polymerize under the influence of acids. This generates fire or explosion hazard. Decomposes on heating. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Attacks some forms of plastic, coatings and rubber.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
A flammable liquid and very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.PROPYLENEIMINE is subject to violent polymerization on contact with an acid. (The inhibitor is intended to prevent polymerization). Incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Incompatible with acids, strong oxidizers.
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitrogen oxide/.

Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
Persistence and degradability
no data available
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for propyleneimine(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.13(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for propyleneimine can be estimated to be 25(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that propyleneimine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of propyleneimine is 8.22(3), indicating that this compound will exist primarily in the protonated form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Other Information
Explosive limits are unknown in literature, although the substance is combustible and has a flash point < 61°C.Reacts violently with fire extinguishing agents such as carbon dioxide.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Data on similar substances suggest the possibility of environmental effects.An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance; consult an expert.Do NOT take working clothes home.
