Flammable liquids propylene oxide

Propylene oxide is a low boiling point, flammable liquid, readily soluble in both water and the more common organic solvents, such as alcohol, ether, and aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Commercial sales involve only technical grade (about 98%), and bulk movements require a hazardous material shipping label. Standard transport equipment (trucks, tank cars, and barges) can be used. 

Benzene is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant characteristic odor, bp 80.1°C, flash point -11.1°C, and ignition temperature 538°C. Benzene has been found to be very toxic and is on the list of Known to Be Human Carcinogens published every two years by the Department of Health and Human Services under the National Toxicology Program (NTP). There are four top 50 chemicals on this worst carcinogen list benzene 1,3-butadiene ethylene oxide and vinyl chloride. There are also four chemicals in the top 50 on the Reasonably Anticipated to Be Human Carcinogens list acrylonitrile, ethylene dichloride, formaldehyde, and propylene oxide.

PHENYLPROPYLENE or 2-PHENYL-PROPYLENE or -PHENYL-PROPYLENE (98-83-9) C,H, Flammable liquid. Forms explosive mixture with air [explosion limits in air (vol %) 0.9 to 6.1 flash point 129°F/54°C autoignition tenp 1066°F/574°C Fire Rating 2]. Easily polymerizable. Unless inhibited, forms unstable peroxides. Reacts with heat and/or lack of appropriate inhibitor concentration. Reacts with catalysts for vinyl or ionic polymerization, such as alumimun, iron chloride or 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(/er/-butylperoxy)hexane. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, butyl lithiiun, oleiun, xenon tetrafluoride. Incompatible with acids. The uninhibited monomer vapor may block vents and confined spaces by, forming a solid polymer material. Attacks aluminum and copper. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Piuple-K-Powder), foam, or CO2 extinguishers.

Propylene oxide is stored in a flammable liquid cabinet isolated from combustible and oxidizable materials. It is shipped in glass bottles and metal containers under a nitrogen atmosphere. 

Ethylene oxide is a low boiling, flammable liquid, whose vapors easily form explosive mixtures in air [1]. It is to be labeled as a cancer hazard and a reproductive hazard [2]. It is prudent to handle propylene oxide and other three-membered ring organic oxides with safety precautions similar to those used for ethylene oxide. 

Liquid organic eIectroI)des consist of a solvent and a salt propylene carbonate (PC) for carbon electrodes, ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (EC and DMC) for graphite electrodes. LiPF is the usual conductivity salt. A poorly understood process is the formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the anode, starting the intercalation process, probably via Li carbonate. Efficiency losses during the formation depend on the carbons or graphites gas is the result of decomposition reactions. To reduce the hazards of flammability "solid polymer electrolytes" originally polyethylene oxide —PEO— and "doped polymer" electrolyte with some "plasticizers" were introduced. Valence first used irradiation for additional crosslinking.
