Diamond	Hazard	Value	Description
2 3 0	Health	3	Can cause serious or permanent injury.
	Flammability	2	Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperatures before ignition can occur.
	Instability	0	Normally stable, even under fire conditions.
	Special

Colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fishy odor. Less dense than water. Melting point 12.4°C (54°F). Moderately toxic by ingestion.

none

Water soluble.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire.

Behavior in Fire: May produce toxic oxides of nitrogen. (USCG, 1999)

If inhaled may be harmful. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. (Organic base.) (USCG, 1999)

N-PROPANOLAMINE neutralizes acids to form salts plus water in an exothermic reaction. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Reacts with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides to generate flammable gaseous hydrogen.

Excerpt from 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids.

SPILL: Increase the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind direction, as necessary.

FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2020)

Fire Extinguishing Agents: Small fires: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol foam. Large fires: Water spray, fog or alcohol foam. (USCG, 1999)

Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Cover spilled material with sodium bisulfate. Flush with water. (USCG, 1999)

Wear butyl rubber gloves and face shield or all-purpose canister respirator for spills. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires. (USCG, 1999)

No information available.

INHALATION: Move victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

SKIN AND EYES: Immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes; hold eyelids open if necessary. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Maintain normal body temperature. (USCG, 1999)
