PROPARGITE

Propargite is a dark colored liquid. It is a wettable powder or water emulsifiable liquid. It can cause illness by inhalation, skin absorption and/or ingestion. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since it is a liquid it can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams. It is used as a pesticide. Practically insoluble in water (10.5 mg/L). Used as an acaricide.

none

Practically insoluble in water (10.5 mg/L). Slowly reacts with water to form sulfur dioxide and alcohols; reaction is more rapid under basic or acidic conditions.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating fumes of sulfur oxides are produced.

Behavior in Fire: Containers may rupture in fire conditions and may decompose to corrosive SO2. (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: Irritation of mucous membranes. EYES: Irritation, may be severe. SKIN: Irritation. (USCG, 1999)

PROPARGITE is a sulfite ester. As an ester, it will hydrolyze to form sulfur dioxide and alcohols; reaction is more rapid under basic conditions. It may react exothermically with acids to generate alcohols. Heat will be generated by interaction with basic or caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides.

Excerpt from 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:

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)

Excerpt from 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:

SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.

LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. Dike runoff from fire control for later disposal.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:

Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent dust cloud. For Asbestos, avoid inhalation of dust. Cover spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Do not clean up or dispose of, except under supervision of a specialist.

SMALL DRY SPILL: With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area.

SMALL SPILL: Pick up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal.

LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. (ERG, 2020)

Rubber gloves and boots, safety goggles or face mask, hooded suit and either a respirator with approved canister or a self-contained breathing apparatus. (USCG, 1999)

Call a physician.

INHALATION: Move to fresh air.

EYES: Flush with water.

SKIN: Wash. (USCG, 1999)
