Amino-2-propanol CAS 78-96-6

1. Amino-2-propanol is primarily used as a solvent, emulsifier, and corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids, coatings, and cleaning formulations.
2. Amino-2-propanol CAS 78-96-6 serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
3. This compound is also utilized as a gas treating agent for acid gas removal and in personal care products as a pH adjuster.

1. Store amino-2-propanol in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
2. Keep the container tightly closed and separated from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids.
3. Handle Amino-2-propanol CAS 78-96-6 with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Use a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors.

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure ventilation, and wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, respirator).
2. Absorb Amino-2-propanol CAS 78-96-6 with an inert, non-combustible material (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Place the contaminated material in a sealed, labeled hazardous waste container.
3. Prevent the compound from entering drains, sewers, or the environment. Neutralize residues with a dilute acid and clean the area with water and detergent.

1. Amino-2-propanol is corrosive and harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. It causes severe skin burns, eye damage, and respiratory irritation.
2. Amino-2-propanol CAS 78-96-6 is flammable and its vapors can form explosive mixtures with air.
3. Always consult the official amino-2-propanol Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information. Handle as a corrosive and flammable amine.
