UN 2334: Allylamine

49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table·ERG 2024

DOT Classification and Shipping

UN 2334 is assigned the proper shipping name Allylamine in the U.S. DOT Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101). It is classified as a Class 6.1 Toxic Substance material, Packing Group I. Required label(s): 6.1, 3.

Packing group indicates the degree of danger within a hazard class: PG I is high danger, PG II medium, PG III low. The proper shipping name, hazard class, UN number, and packing group together form the basic shipping description that must appear on shipping papers and, where required, on the package and placard.

Emergency Response (ERG Guide 131)

Hazards: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. TOXIC. May be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through skin. Vapors heavier than air.

Fire: Small: dry chemical, CO2, water spray, alcohol-resistant foam. Large: water spray, fog, alcohol-resistant foam.

Spill: Eliminate ignition sources. Do not touch. Stop leak if safe. Use vapor-suppressing foam. Ventilate area.
