Safety Note: Propionaldehyde is an extremely flammable and volatile liquid. It is harmful if swallowed or inhaled and may cause skin irritation, serious eye damage, and respiratory irritation. Its vapours can form explosive mixtures with air and may travel to ignition sources. Avoid inhalation of vapours and direct contact with the skin and eyes. Handle only in a suitable chemical fume hood or well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and suitable laboratory clothing. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. Store in a tightly closed, appropriately labelled container in a cool, well-ventilated area, following the supplier's SDS requirements.
