PREFACE TO THE SEVENTH EDITION
The first edition of this Guide was issued on I June 1965. It con-
tained data on 127 cargoes. This edition contains data on over 300 car-
goes. A number of new cargo data sheets have been added, and several
obsolete cargo data sheets have been dropped.
Most of the data for the new cargoes were obtained from complet-
ed CG-4355 forms. This form, Characteristics of Liquid Chemicals Pro-
posed for Bulk Water Movement, or the International Maritime Organi-
zation's equivalent form, BCH/Circ.26, Characteristics of Liquid
Chemicals Proposed for Marine Transport in Bulk, or other equivalent
data source is required prior to the classification of a bulk cargo.
On 6 April 1987, Annex II of the 1978 Protocol to the Internation-
al Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973
(MARPOL 73/78) came into force. This Convention controls oper-
ational discharges from chemical tankers and provides additional pro-
tection from accidental spills. With the advent of the MARPOL Con-
vention, carriage requirements for chemical cargoes are now deter-
mined by evaluation of both their safety and pollution characteristics.
This edition of the Guide includes the International Maritime Organiza-
tion (IMO) Pollution Category, and for domestic carriage, the U.S. En-
vironmental Protection Agency (EPA) Category.
All data have been updated where new data were available includ-
ing the Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) adopted in the 1989-1990 edi-
tion by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygien-
ists (ACGJH). Included with this edition for the first time are the Per-
missible Exposure Limits (PELs) adopted by the U.S. Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in Table Z-1-A, 29 CFR
1910.1000.

EXPLANATION OF DATA
Format
Data sheets are arranged alphabetically by the most commonly
used chemical name. Following the data pages is a synonym index
which shows other names for the products.
A standard form is used for each product to permit rapid reference
and to group data in a logical manner. General information on identifi
cation and physical properties is given at the top of the page. Data per
taining to the three basic types of hazard (tire, health and reactivity)
are given in separate blocks below. Suggested action in the event of a
spill or leak is given in the bottom block. Regulatory classifications are
included in the top section, while special information is given at the
bottom of the page under "Remarks."
This book will be used by personnel with varying degrees of
chemical training and experience. For this reason, non-technical terms
are used whenever possible.
The guide sheet preceding the data sheets is intended to help inter-
pret and identify the information on the data sheets.
Explanation of Terms
Synonyms:
Alternate and common names are listed. In general, proprietary
and trade names are not used.
Formula:
The constituent elements and a simplified structural formula are
shown.
Appearance-Odor:
A brief descriptive statement of these properties is given.
Specific Gravity:
This is the ratio of the weight of a volume of the cargo to the
weight of an equal volume of water. In the case of liquids of lim
ited solubility, the specific gravity will predict whether the prod-
uct will sink or float on water; for example, if the specific gravi-
ty is greater than I, the product will sink, and if the specific
gravity is less than I, the product will float.
viii
Chemical Family:
This is a general chemical category which facilitates the use of
the compatibility chart for predicting the type of reactions
which can be expected.
Pollution Category ... USEPA IMO _ __
In the blanks are indicated the category assigned by the U.S. En-
vironmental Protection Agency (USEPA), for domestic user in-
formation, and the Noxious Liquid Substance (NLS) Pollution
Category (Pol. Cat.) assigned by the International Maritime Or-
ganization (IMO) for international shipment on oceangoing ves-
sels.
USEPA
X, A, B, C, D-Category associated with reportable quantities
of I, 10, 100, 1,000, and 5,000 pounds, respectively. See 40 CPR
Table 302.4-List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable
Quantities.
IMO
A, B, C, D-NLS Category of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78.
III-Appendix III of Annex II (non-NLS cargoes) of MARPOL
73/78.
!-Considered an oil under Annex I of MARPOL 73/78. See
page 410 of the Data Guide for the complete list.
#-No determination of NLS status. For shipping on oceango-
ing vessels, see 46 CPR 153.900(c).
@-The NLS category has been assigned by the U.S. Coast
Guard, in absence of one assigned by the IMO. The category is
based upon a GESAMP Hazard Profile or by analogy to a close-
ly related product having an NLS assigned.
"gas"-The IMO generally does not assign Pol. Cats to gases as
these cargoes present little to no hazard to the aquatic environ-
ment.
Applicable Bulk Regulation 46 CPR Subchapter _ _ _ __
In the blank is indicated the CPR reference for the carriage of
the commodity.
United Nations Number;
The number assigned to a particular cargo by the United
Nations.
CHRIS Code:
The three letter designation assigned to every entry in the
Chemical Hazard Response Information System.
ix
Boiling Point:
The temperature at which the liquid boils, given in c and F at
a pressure of 76lJ mm Hg, one atmosphere or 14.7 psia. Thus, the
boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure is
76lJ mm Hg, one atmosphere or 14.7 psia
Freezing Point:
The temperature in c and in F at which the liquid solidifies.
Vapor Pressure:
The equilibrium pressure of the saturated vapor above the liquid,
measured in millimeters of mercury (76lJ mm Hg = 14.7 psia) at
20"C (68.F) unless another temperature is specified. Conversion
is done as follows:
psi = mm Hg x 14.7
76lJ
Reid Vapor Pressure:
Equilibrium pressure exerted by vapor over the liquid at 100F,
expressed as pounds per square inch absolute (pisa), defined in 46
CFR 30.10-59.
Vapor Density:
This is actually a specific gravity rather than a true density be-
cause it equals the ratio of the weight of a vapor or gas (with no
air present) compared to the weight of an equal volume of air at
the same temperature and pressure. Values less than I indicate
that the vapor or gas tends to rise and values greater than I indi-
cate that it tends to settle. However, temperature effects must be
considered. For example, although methane at 68F has a vapor
density of 0.55, it becomes denser at lower temperatures. At
-259F, the boiling point, the vapor is heavier than air. Vapors
from an open container of boiling methane fall rather than rise.
Solubility in Water:
The following terms are used to describe the solubility of the
product by weight in cold water:
Negligible less than 0.1%
Slight 0.1%-1%
Moderate 1%-10%
X
Fire & Explosion Hazard Data
Grade:
The classification assigned by the Coast Guard to flammable or
combustible liquids is defined as follows:
Grade A Flammable liquid with a Reid vapor pressure of 14
pounds per square inch absolute (psia) or more.
Grade B Flammable liquid with a Reid vapor pressure of more
than 8 '12 psia but less than 14 psia.
Grade C Flammable liquid with a Reid vapor pressure of 8 '12
psia or less and a flash point of 8op or below.
Grade D Combustible liquid with a flash point above 80F, but
below I5oF.
Grade E Combustible liquid with a flash point of !Sop or
above.
Electrical Group:
The electrical group is based on the explosive characteristics of
air mixtures of gases or vapors. The 1986 edition of Manual for
Classification of Gases, Vapors, and Dusts for Electrical Equip-
ment in Hazardous (Classified) Locations, NFPA 497M, or the
1982 edition of Classification of Gases, Liquids, and Volatile
Solids Relative to Explosion-Proof Electrical Equipment,
NMAB 353-5. These publications provide details and list the
chemicals by Group. (Both publications were current as of press
time of the Data Guide.)
Flash Point:
The lowest temperature at which the vapors of a liquid may be
ignited momentarily. Values given in the data sheets are open
cup except where designated "(cc)," which indicates the closed
cup value. In general the open cup value is about 10 to 15p
higher than the closed cup value.
Flammable Limits:
The range of gas or vapor concentrations (percent by volume in
air) which will burn or explode if an ignition source is present.
Limiting concentrations are commonly called the "lower explo-
sive limit" (LEL) and the "upper explosive limit" (UEL). Below
the LEL the mixture is too lean to burn, and above the UEL it
is too rich to burn.
xi
Autoignition Temperature:
The minimum temperature required to ignite gas or vapor with-
out a spark or flame being present. Values given are only ap-
proximate and may change substantially with changes in geome-
try, gas, or vapor concentrations, presence of catalysts, or other
factors.
Extinguishing Media:
A list of firefighting materials suitable for use on the burning ma-
terial. For certain specific chemicals special formulations are
available for extinguishing fires in addition to the standard
agents. No mention of these can be made here because of the
large number of such media available under various trade names.
The flreflghting agents listed here are as follows:
Water fog-a finely divided mist produced by either a high or
low velocity fog nozzle. It is used for knocking down
flames and cooling hot surfaces.
Water foam-either mechanical or chemical, produced by a
special foam nozzle or by a fixed system. It is used to
form a blanket over the surface of burning liquids. It
is effective only with liquids which are not apprecia-
bly soluble in water.
Alcohol foam-this material blankets fires in the same manner
as conventional foam, but is intended for use with liq-
uids which are soluble in water, such as alcohol and
acetone. It must be applied more carefully than regu-
lar foam because the mechanical strength of the bub-
bles is less.
CO,-Carbon dioxide gas stored in cylinders. It may be ap-
plied through a fixed or semi-fixed system, or from a
portable extinguisher. It is useful for inerting a com-
partment or for putting out small local fires.
Dry chemical-Sodium or potassium bicarbonate or monosodi-
um phosphate powder, usually available from a semi-
fixed or portable extinguisher.
xii
violently with water. Precautions should always be observed be-
cause of the hazardous properties of many cargoes in a fire. Ex-
amples include the formation of toxic combustion products, the
reactivity with extinguishing media and the need for protective
clothing and breathing apparatus.
General Fire Fighting Procedures:
For flammable liquids and volatile solids having flash points be-
tween approximately 100' and 212'F, water fog may be used.
For liquids with flash points below IOO'F, water may not extin-
guish, but possibly will control the fire.
For flammable liquids with flash points above 212'F, and also
for some very viscous materials, the use of water may cause
frothing of the burning liquid. Water spray, if carefully applied,
however, may be effective.
xiii
3 Moderately irritating volatile chemicals, such that personnel will
not usually tolerate moderate or high vapor concentrations.
4 Severe eye or throat irritants, vapors are capable of causing eye
or lung injury, and cannot be tolerated even at low concentra-
tions.
The second rating deals with the hazard of "irritation from liquids
or solids" with regard to a chemical's tendency to burn or irritate
human skin from contact. Ratings have the following meanings:
0 No appreciable hazard. These chemicals are practically harmless
to the skin. Included are certain very volatile compounds that
evaporate quickly from the skin.
Minimum hazard. Usually includes chemicals which, if spilled on
clothing and allowed to remain, will cause smarting and redden-
ing of the skin.
2 Chemicals that cause smarting of the skin and first-degree burns
on long exposure.
3 Fairly severe skin irritants, usually causing pain and second-
degree burns after a few minutes' contact.
4 Severe skin irritants, causing second and third-degree burns on
short contact and very injurious to the eyes.
The third rating deals with the hazard presented due to "chemical
poisons" entering the body through inhalation, oral ingestion, or skin
penetration causing bodily harm. Ratings have the following meanings:
0 No likelihood of producing injury.
Minimum hazard. Includes most chemicals having threshold
limits above 500 ppm.
2 Some hazard, typically having threshold limits of 100 to 500
ppm.
3 Moderately hazardous chemicals.

Odor Threshold:
The smallest concentration, expressed in parts per million (ppm)
by volume in air that can be detected by smell by most people.
This is not an absolute value. It will vary among individuals and
will vary from day to day for any one person. The odor of a
potentially dangerous vapor may be hidden by another odor. In
addition, certain vapors are likely to produce olfactory fatigue,
which is deadening of the sense of smell. For these reasons, the
sense of smell alone is not a reliable indicator of the presence or
absence of a dangerous vapor.
Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL); Threshold Limit Val. (TLV):
The Permissible Exposure Limit and the Threshold Limit Value
refer to an airborne concentration of a product expressed in parts
per million (ppm) by volume in air. These are the Time-Weight-
ed Average (TWA) concentrations believed to be safe for the
average person during an 8-hour workday and 40-hour work-
week for prolonged periods. The susceptibility of individuals will
vary.
"Skin" -the notation used to indicate that the product can be ab-
sorbed through the skin, including mucous membranes and eyes.
Prevent or reduce exposure to the extent necessary in the cir-
XV
cumstances through the use of gloves, coveralls, goggles, or
other appropriate personal protective equipment, engineering
controls or work practices.
Short Exposure Tolerance:
Vapor concentration, expressed as parts per million (ppm) by
volume in air, which should not be exceeded for the exposure
times specified. Other exposure information obtained from
sources believed to be reliable is included. In many cases little or
no data on human exposure are available.
Exposure Procedures:
First aid procedures recommended by manufacturers and safety
organizations. These are emergency procedures only. The victim
should be examined by a physician as soon as possible.
Poisons:
Some products are classified for regulatory purposes as poison-
ous liquids. Definitions are given in 49 CFR Part 173, Subpart
D.
Reactivity Data
Stability:
The susceptibility of the products to dangerous reactions when
exposed to conditions such as high temperature and shock.
Compatibility:
Structural materials compatible with the cargo are listed; also,
structural materials, contaminants and other cargoes which react
dangerously with the commodity are given. This list is by no
means complete or all inclusive. In some cases a very small
quantity of material can act as a catalyst and produce violent re-
actions such as polymerization, dissociation and condensation.
These catalysts, when known, are also listed.
The accidental mixing of one chemical group with another
can in some cases be expected to result in a vigorous and hazard
ous chemical reaction. The generation of toxic gases, the heating,
overflow, and rupture of cargo tanks, and fire explosion are pos-
sible consequences of such reactions.
The purpose of the Compatibility Chart, which is fully ex-
plained the 46 CFR 150 is to show chemical combinations be-
lieved to be dangerously reactive in the case of accidental
mixing.
xvi
Spill or Leak
The information given is intended to be used only as a guide.
Many factors must be considered before deciding on a course of action
in a particular case.
Remarks
Some special regulations which apply are listed. Other information
of particular importance is also listed.

Special Fire Proeedures ... Do not direct a solid stream of water into burning liquid sulfur or a steam
explosion may result. When sulfur bums, sulfur dioxide (SO.) is given off. This gas is highly toxic, so
firelighting personnel must be provided with respiratory protection.
SymptoJn.--HoS-headache, nausea, dizziness: loss of sense of smell. SQ.-severe eye and respiratory
Irritation.
Short E~:posure Toleraaee-200 ppm lor 10 minutes. 100 ppm for 30 minutes. 50 ppm for one hour.
Ex!IO'ure Procedura--Remove victim to fresh air. If breathing stops, apply artificial respiration. Oxygen,
administered by trained personnel, is often helpful. Body contact with hot liquid sulfur can cause severe
scalding. Do not try to remove the solidified sulfur from such a burn. Get medical attention.
"NOTE: Odor alone does not give adequate warning of dangerous H,S concentrations.
REACTIVITY DATA
Stability-Stable except in contact with oxidizing agents or reactive metals. The rate of H.S gas evolution from

COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION

groups. Products assigned to Cargo groups, however, are much less re-
active and dangerous combinations can be formed only with members
of certain Reactive groups. Cargo groups do not react hazardously
with one another. Because of these differences in reactivity, a signifi-
cant part of the usual two-dimensional chart has been eliminated.
d. Using the Guide-The following procedure explains how the
Guide should be used to find compatibility information:
(I) Determine the group numbers of the two chemicals by refer-
ring to the alphabetical listing of products and their corresponding
groups (Table I of 46 CPR 150). Many chemicals are listed under their
parent names and, unless otherwise indicated, isomers or mixtures of
isomers for a particular product are assigned to the same group. For
example, to find the group number for Isobutyl alcohol, look under the
parent name Butyl alcohol. Similarly, the group number for para-
Xylene is found under the entry Xylene. If a chemical cannot be found
in this listing, contact the Coast Guard for a group determination.
(2) If both group numbers do not fall between 30 and 43 inclu-
sive, locate on the chart one of the numbers on the left (Cargo groups)
and the other across the top (Reactive groups). Note that if one of the
group numbers is between 30 and 43 it must be located on the left side.
Proceed across the page until the appropriate Reactive group column is
intersected. The box formed by the intersection will indicate one of the
following:
(a) blank-The two products are considered compatible.
(b) "X"-The two products are not considered compatible.
(c) a letter other than an "X"-Differences (deviations) in re-
activity are present among the group members-refer to the listing fol-
lowing the chart to find whether the products in question are included
in the deviations. Unless the combination is specifically covered on this
page, it may be considered compatible.
Examples:
361
e. Exceptions to the Guide-The hazard ratings in the chart are
based largely upon direct experimental data using in most cases one of
the most reactive members of the group. Combinations of other group
members may display considerably less reactivity. For this reason, an
experimental procedure (refer to Appendix III, 46 CFR 150) has been
developed which allows a shipper to test two particular products he be-
lieves non-hazardous although an "X" appears in the chart for their
corresponding groups. A data sheet is also supplied and should be com-
pleted and returned to the Coast Guard for evaluation. If the combina-
tion is not found to be dangerously reactive, an exception will be
issued.

150.110 Applicability.
This subpart prescribes rules for identifying incompatible hazard-
ous materials and rules for carrying these materials in bulk as cargo in
permanently attached tanks or in tanks that are loaded or discharged
while aboard the vessel. The rules apply to all vessels subject to 46
U.S.C. 391a.
150.115 Definitions.
As used in this subpart: "Hazardous material" means:
(a) A flammable liquid as defined in 30.10-22 or a combustible
liquid as defined in 30.10-15 of this chapter;
(b) A material listed in Table 151.05, Table I of Part 153, or Table
4 of Part 154 of this chapter; or
(c) A liquid, liquefied gas, or compressed gas listed in 49 CFR
172.101.
363
Figure I and are not shown as exceptions in Appendix I. (See also
150.140.)
150.130 Loading a cargo on vessels carrying cargoes with which it is
incompatible.
Except as described in !50.160, the person in charge of a vessel
shall ensure that the containment system for a cargo that is a hazardous
material meets the following requirements:
(a) The containment system must separate the hazardous material
or its residue from any cargo in table I with which it is incompatible by
two barriers such as formed by a:
(I) Cofferdam;
364
150.150 Exceptions to the compatibility chart.
The Commandant (G-MTH) authorizes, on a case by case basis,
exceptions to the rules in this subpart under the following conditions:
(a) When two cargoes shown to be incompatible in Figure I meet
the standards for a compatible pair in Appendix III, or
{b) When two cargoes shown to be compatible in Figure I meet
the standards for an incompatible pair in Appendix III.
Appendix I contains cargoes which have been found to be excep-
tions to Figure I, the Compatibility Chart.
150.160 Carrying a cargo as an exception to the compatibility chart.
The Operator of a vessel having on board a cargo carried as an
exception under I 50.1 SO but not listed in Appendix I, Exceptions to
the Chart, shall make sure that:
(a) The Commandant (G-MTH) has authorized by letter or mes-
sage the cargo pair as an exception to the compatibility chart; and
{b) A copy of the letter or message is on the vessel.
150.170 Right of appeal.
Any person directly affected by a decision or action taken under
this part, by or on behalf of the Coast Guard, may appeal therefrom in
accordance with subpart 1.03 of this chapter.

cargoes even though the reaction is non-hazardous from temperature or
pressure considerations, although no examples of such a reaction are
known at this time.
Chart format- There are different degrees of reactivity among the
various cargoes. Many of them are relatively non~reactive: For exam-
ple, aromatic hydrocarbons or paraffins. Others will form hazardous
combinations with many groups: For example, the inorganic acids.
The cargo groups in the compatibility chart are separated into two
categories: I through 22 are "Reactive Groups" and 30 through 43 are
"Cargo Groups". Left unassigned and available for future expansion are
groups 23 through 29 and those past 43. Reactive Groups contain prod-
ucts which are chemically the most reactive; dangerous combinations
may result between members of different Reactive Groups and between
members of Reactive Groups and Cargo Groups. Products assigned to
Cargo Groups, however, are much less reactive; dangerous combina-
tions involving these can be formed only with members of certain Re-
active Groups. Cargo Groups do not react hazardously with one an-
other.
Using the Compatibility Chart- The following procedure explains
how the compatibility chart should be used to find compatibility info-
matico:
402
(b) "X"-The two cargoes are not compatible.
(Note that reactivity may vary among the group members. Refer
to Table I or Table II to find whether the products in question are ref-
erenced by a footnote which indicates that exceptions exist and are
listed in Appendix I. Unless the combination is specifically mentioned in
Appendix I, it is compatible.)
Examples
403
Procedure-Place 0.5 ml of one (A) of the test chemicals in a
25 X 150 mm test tube. Clamp the test tube to a stand behind a safety
shield (in a hood). Carefully add from a dropper 0.5 ml of the other
substance (B). Shake to induce mixing. If no immediate reaction occurs,
retain the mixture for at least 10 minutes to check for a delayed reac-
tion.
Results-If a violent reaction occurs, such as sputtering, boiling of
reactants or release of fumes, record the results on the Data Sheet (Ap-
pendix IV) and do not proceed to Step 2. If no reaction or a minor
reaction occurs, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2
Objective-To determine the heat of reaction of two chemicals on
mixing under specified conditions.
Procedure-These separate mixes of the proposed binary combina-
tion will be tested. These are 2 ml : 18 ml, 10 ml : 10 ml, and
18 ml : 2 ml, respectively, to result in a final mixture of about 20 ml in
each case.
A reference-junctioned thermocouple is prepared by inserting two
lengths of 20 gauge or finer iron-constantan or chromelalumel duplex
thermocouple wire into glass capilary sheaths. The common wire of
each probe is joined, while the other wire of each is connected to a
strip-chart recorder. The thermocouple probe which produces a nega-
tive pen deflection upon warming is the reference junction and is
placed in a test tube of water at ambient laboratory temprature. The
other probe is placed near the bottom of a Dewar flask of about 300 ml
capacity, such that the thermocouple will be below the surface of the
test mixture. The Dewar flask is equipped with a magnetic stirrer
having a stirring bar coated with an inert material such as a flourinated
hydrocarbon.
Start the temperature recorder and stirrer. Deliver the test chemi
cals to the Dewar Flask simultaneously from separate graduated sy-
ringes. If an exothermic reaction occurs, continue the test until the
maximum temperature is reached and begins to subside. If no apparent
reaction occurs, continue the test for at least 30 minutes to check for a
delayed reaction. Stop agitation and observe the mixture at five-minute
intervals to determine if the mixture is miscible, if gases are evolved, or
if other visible changes occur. In the interest of safety, a mirror can be
used for these observations. Repeat the above test for the other mixture
combinations.
Results-Record the results in the appropriate places on the Data
Sheet. If no reaction occurs or if the temperature rise is less than 25'C,
404
proceed to Step 3. If the observed temperature rise exceeds 25c or
gases are evolved, do not proceed to Step 3.
Step 3
Objective-To determine if exothermic reactions occur at tempera-
tures up to 50C
Procedure-If a non-hazardous reaction occurred in Step 2, the
ratio of chemicals which resulted in the greatest temperature rise will
be tested. Fresh chemicals will be used with a total volume for this test
of about 10 ml (a ratio of I ml : 9 ml, 5 ml : 5 ml, or 9 ml : I ml). If no
reaction was observed in Step 2, use a ratio of 5 ml : 5 mi. Using the
thermocouple prepared for Step 2, insert the reference probe into a
25 X 150 mm test tube containing 10 ml of water. Place the other probe
into an empty test tube. Start the temperature recorder and add the two
chemicals of the combination, one at a time, to the empty test tube.
Lower the two test tubes into an oil bath maintained at 50rc. Hold
the samples in the oil bath until the maximum temperature differential is
recorded, and in all cases at least 15 minutes. Observe the test mixture
to determine if gases are evolved or if other visible changes occur.
Follow prescribed safety precautions.
Results-Record the maximum differential temperature measured,
the time required to reach this temperature, and any other observations
in the proper space on the Data Sheet.
Send a copy of the Data Sheet for each binary chemical mixture
tested to: Commandant (G-MTH), U.S. Coast Guard, Washington, DC
20593-0001.
