GPS/JIPS Safety Summary
1. SUBSTANCE NAME
Allyl alcohol (CAS No. 107-18-6)

2. GENERAL STATEMENT
Allyl alcohol has a highly reactive allyl group and is used in various reactions and polymerization
reactions. It is used as a raw material for allyl glycidyl ether, which is used as a silane coupling
agent (improvement agent such as paint and dye); as a raw material for epichlorohydrin, which is araw material for epoxy resin; and as a raw material for drugs, fragrance, etc. Allyl alcohol is freely
soluble in water and is a clear, colorless liquid, having a strong pungent odor at ordinary
temperature. Although it does not polymerize under normal storage conditions, it may polymerizeor be heated by reacting with oxygen in the air to produce acrolein. Since it is highly flammable,
fire is strictly prohibited. Avoid sunlight, and store tightly closed in a well-ventilated place.
It is highly toxic and may be life threatening when inhaled or comes into contact with the skin. It
irritates the skin and strongly irritates the eyes. If swallowed or inhaled, it also causes damage toorgans (lung, liver, and kidney), or it may cause damage to organs (liver, lung, and stomach)through prolonged or repeated exposure. Thus, it is necessary to wear appropriate protective
equipment in a well-ventilated place to protect the eyes and skin and prevent inhalation.
It is suggested to be very toxic to aquatic life. To minimize the impact on the environment, takemeasures to prevent leakage.

8. EXPOSURE
DetalsExposure potentials through main uses
Occupational exposures The product is manufactured and used in closed/continuous processwith controlled exposure, or used in synthesis or compounding operationin closed batches, but there is a potential for dermal or inhalation
exposure in operators in case of maintenance, sampling, equipment
failure, etc. (PROC2, 3).
There is a potential for dermal or inhalation exposure in operators inassociation with dust/vapour/aerosol generation, spillage, cleaning ofequipment, etc. in the absence of dedicated equipment, or in the transferof substances or preparations to ships and large-capacity containers indedicated equipment or in the transfer of substances or preparations tosmall-capacity containers under conditions designed to minimize spillage(PROC8a, 8b, 9).
During the use of the reagent in a small test laboratory, there is apotential for dermal or inhalation exposure in operators (PROC15).
Consumer exposures
This product is not used directly by general consumers.
Environmental
Since these products are typically manufactured and used in closed
exposuresprocesses, the potential for release into the environment is limited.
Precautions
If there is a possibility of exposure in other uses, take appropriate
measures with reference to recommended risk management measures.

9. RISK MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended risk management measures can minimize risks to workers, consumers, and theenvironment from Section 8 exposure scenarios.
DetalsWorkerConsumer
Environment

Special notes(emergency measuresin case of leakage, etc.)

Risk management recommendations
Technical measures:
For handling, use tightly closed equipment and device, or local exhaust
ventilation as much as possible. Install facilities for eye and body washingnear the handling place. Use explosion-proof electrical, ventilation, andlighting equipment.
Local exhaust and general ventilation:
Handle the product in local exhaust ventilation or in a place with general
ventilation equipment.
Permissible concentration:
For the product, the time-weighted average (TLV-TWA) of 0.5 ppm(skin) has been published by the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). Manage and control the concentration
below these values.
Protective equipment:
During operation, use a certified gas mask for organic gas (collection
rate 90% or higher), supplied air mask, and self-contained breathingapparatus as respiratory protection. Wear chemically resistant rubber
gloves (protection efficiency 95%, neoprene gloves are recommended) as
a protective equipment for hand. Note that nitrile rubber, polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA), and polyvinyl chloride are not suitable protective
materials. Use safety glasses and highly adhesive safety goggles as aprotective equipment for the eyes. Wear chemically resistant protective
clothing; protective gloves, apron, and boots; and face protection
depending on the usage condition.
Precautions
The operation manager should educate operators about the selection ofappropriate protective equipment, proper usage method, and control
method of the work site.
This product is not used directly by general consumers.
Install appropriate wastewater treatment facilities and exhaust gas
treatment facilities. In addition, take measures to prevent leakage, andpay attention to periodic confirmation of discharge volume, daily control,and handling.
Precautions to human body, protective equipment, and emergency
measures:
During operation, wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves, eyeand face protection, and, depending on the situation, respiratory
protection to prevent inhalation, eye and face contact, and skinadhesion. In case of a massive leakage, immediately evacuate thesurrounding personnel and ventilate the area. Prohibit unauthorized
persons from entering the area where leakage occurred by using a rope
to secure the area, and immediately remove ignition sources from thevicinity. In case of ignition, prepare suitable extinguishing equipment(carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or water spray).
Environmental precautions:Page 4/7

GPS Safety Summary Reference No. : JIPS_MSP_OC-0001_JP_EN

Precautions

Prevent spillage of product and contain it. Take care not to discharge
the spilled product into rivers, etc., and affect the environment.
Regarding a containment method, if the amount of spillage is small,absorb it with dry sand, soil, sawdust, waste cloth, etc., and recover it
in a sealed, noncombustible, empty container.
In case of a large amount of spillage, stop the flow with a souvenir,
etc., keep it in a safe place, collect it in a noncombustible, sealable
empty container as much as possible, and rinse the affected area withplenty of water.
For normal handling, emergency response, disposal, and transportation
control measures, refer to sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, and 14 of the SDS
issued by Resonac Corporation.
