The Hazard fields include special hazard alerts air and water reactions, fire hazards, health hazards, a reactivity profile, and details about reactive groups assignments and potentially incompatible absorbents. The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of data sources.
Reactivity Alerts
  • Peroxidizable Compound
Air & Water Reactions
Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick 1979. p.151-154, 164].
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Prolonged or repeated exposure is not likely to cause significant skin irritation. Repeated prolonged exposure may cause sleepiness. Single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in absorption of harmful amount through skin. Low oral toxicity. Ingestion of large amount may cause injury. Exposure may have anesthetic or narcotic effects. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
TRIPROPYLENE GLYCOL METHYL ETHER may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases with alkali metals, nitrides, and other strong reducing agents. May initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
Potentially Incompatible Absorbents

  • Cellulose-Based Absorbents

The Response Recommendation fields include isolation and evacuation distances, as well as recommendations for firefighting, non-fire response, protective clothing, and first aid. The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of data sources.
Isolation and Evacuation
No information available.
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Water fog, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
No information available.
Protective Clothing
Chemical goggles, rubber boots and gloves, and self contained breathing apparatus. (USCG, 1999)
DuPont Tychem® Suit Fabrics
No information available.
First Aid
INHALATION: Call for medical aid. Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

INGESTION: If conscious, have victim drink 2 glasses of water and immediately induce vomiting.

EYES: Irrigate with water for at least 15 minutes.

SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. (USCG, 1999)

The Physical Property fields include properties such as vapor pressure and boiling point, as well as explosive limits and toxic exposure thresholds The information in CAMEO Chemicals comes from a variety of data sources.

Note: For Vapor Density and Specific Gravity, comparing the value to 1.0 can tell you if the chemical will likely sink/rise in air or sink/float in fresh water (respectively). Short phrases have been added to those values below as an aid. However, make sure to also consider the circumstances of a release. The Vapor Density comparisons are only valid when the gas escaping is at the same temperature as the surrounding air itself. If the chemical is escaping from a container where it was pressurized or refrigerated, it may first escape and behave as a heavy gas and sink in the air (even if it has a Vapor Density value less than 1). Also, the Specific Gravity comparisons are for fresh water (density 1.0 g/mL). If your spill is in salt water (density about 1.027 g/mL), you need to adjust the point of comparison. There are some chemicals that will sink in fresh water and float in salt water.
