CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Allyl chloride appears as a clear colorless liquid with an unpleasant pungent odor. Flash point -20 °F. Boiling point 113 °F. Less dense than water (7.8 lb / gal) and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Vapor irritates skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Vapors are heavier than air. Long exposure to low concentrations or short exposure to high concentrations may have adverse health effects from inhalation or skin absorption. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | RED LIQUID |
| Odor | Pungent, unpleasant odor. |
| Boiling Point | 113 °F at 760 mmHg (NTP, 1992) |
| Melting Point | -210.1 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Flash Point | -25 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Solubility | 1 to 10 mg/mL at 66 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| Density | 0.94 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Less dense than water; will float |
| Vapor Density | 2.64 (NTP, 1992) - Heavier than air; will sink (Relative to Air) |
| Vapor Pressure | 340 mmHg at 68 °F ; 440 mmHg at 86 °F (NTP, 1992) |
| LogP | 2.1 |
| Autoignition Temperature | 737 °F (USCG, 1999) |
