What is 2,4-dinitrotoluene used for?
2,4-Dinitrotoluene is mainly used as an intermediate in making 2,4-diaminotoluene for toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and polyurethane production. It is also used as an additive in propellants and in dye manufacture.
What are the molecular formula and molecular weight?
The molecular formula is C7H6N2O4 and the molecular weight is 182.13.
How should this product be stored?
Store it at ambient temperature.
What is the hazard classification?
The signal word is Danger, with hazard statements H301 + H311 + H331 (toxic if swallowed, in contact with skin or if inhaled), H341, H350, H361f and H373. It also carries H400 and H411 for aquatic toxicity, so handle it with appropriate protective equipment and controls.
Is 2,4-dinitrotoluene a carcinogen or reproductive toxicant?
Yes. An independent committee of scientific and health experts has identified it as able to cause cancer, and the EPA lists it as a male reproductive toxicant, consistent with its H350 and H361f classifications.
