| Specification: |
Methyl propyl ether (CAS NO.557-17-5) is also called 1-Methoxypropane ; Methyl n-propyl ether ; Metopryl
Neothyl ; alpha-Methoxy propane ; Propane, 1-methoxy- ; Propane, 1-methoxy- (9CI) . Methyl propyl ether (CAS NO.557-17-5) is a colorless volatile liquid with an ether-like odor. It is less dense than water and insoluble in water. Vapors heavier than air. May be narcotic by inhalation in high concentrations. Methyl propyl ether (CAS NO.557-17-5) is highly flammable. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously. A mixture of liquid air and diethyl ether exploded spontaneously. Ethers, such as Methyl propyl ether (CAS NO.557-17-5) , can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated.
