| | 1,2-PROPANEDIOL DINITRATE Chemical Properties |
| Boiling point | 294.26°C (rough estimate) | | refractive index | 1.4715 (estimate) | | form | Red-orange or colorless
liquid with a disagreeable odor. | | EPA Substance Registry System | Propylene glycol dinitrate (6423-43-4) |
| | 1,2-PROPANEDIOL DINITRATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless liquid; unpleasant odor. Slightly soluble in water.
| | Chemical Properties | Propylene glycol dinitrate is an explosive. It
is a colorless, high-boiling liquid (solid below -8℃) with
a disagreeable odor. | | Uses | Torpedo propellant in Otto Fuel II.
| | Uses | In the torpedo propellant Otto fuel II | | 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.
| | Health Hazard | Propylene glycol dinitrate
(PGDN) is a vasodilator, and at extremely high
concentrations it causes methemoglobin
formation. | | 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
NITRATES. | | Potential Exposure | Propylene glycol dinitrate has been
used as a torpedo propellant. The explosion potential is
similar to ethylene glycol dinitrate. | | 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. | | Shipping | 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. |
