Propanol dosages vary greatly depending on the intended use. For industrial applications, concentration is key, ranging from dilute solutions for cleaning to higher concentrations for specific solvents. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the specific product you are using. This document provides critical information on safe handling and recommended concentrations.
Oral Consumption
Never ingest propanol. It’s toxic if swallowed and can cause serious health problems. Immediate medical attention is required if accidental ingestion occurs. Contact poison control immediately.
Dermal Exposure
Propanol’s skin contact requires immediate action. Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Protective gloves and clothing should be worn when handling propanol.
Inhalation
Exposure to propanol vapors can cause respiratory irritation. Ensure adequate ventilation when working with propanol-containing products. If significant inhalation occurs, move to fresh air and seek medical attention if symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath develop. Appropriate respiratory protection should be used in poorly ventilated areas.
Disposal
Dispose of propanol according to local regulations. Never pour it down the drain or into the environment. Check with your local waste management authority for proper disposal methods.
