UN 2610: Triallylamine

49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table·ERG 2024

DOT Classification and Shipping

UN 2610 is assigned the proper shipping name Triallylamine in the U.S. DOT Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101). It is classified as a Class 3 Flammable Liquid material, Packing Group III. Required label(s): 3, 6.1.

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 132)

Hazards: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. CORROSIVE. Causes burns. Vapors may form explosive mixture with air.

Fire: Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, CO2. Do not use water jet. Cool containers.

Spill: Eliminate ignition sources. Do not touch. Stop leak if safe. Use foam.
