The Properties and Specifications of Propionic Acid:
Propionic Acid USP NF Grade Specifications
Propionic Acid contains not less than 99.5 percent and not more than 100.5 percent, by weight, of C3H6O2.
Specific gravity: between 0.988 and 0.993.
Distilling range: between 138.5 and 142.5 .
Heavy metals: To the residue obtained in the test for Nonvolatile residue add 8 mL of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid, warm gently until solution is complete, dilute with water to 100 mL, and use 10 mL of the solution: the limit is 0.001%.
Limit of nonvolatile residue: Evaporate 20 g in a tared dish, and dry at 105 for 1 hour: the weight of the residue does not exceed 2.0 mg.
Readily oxidizable substances: Dissolve 15 g of sodium hydroxide in 50 mL of water, cool, add 6 mL of bromine, stirring to effect complete solution, and dilute with water to 2000 mL. Transfer 25.0 mL of this solution to a glass-stoppered, 250-mL conical flask containing 100 mL of water, and add 10 mL of sodium acetate solution (1 in 5) and 10.0 mL of Propionic Acid. Allow to stand for 15 minutes, add 5 mL of potassium iodide solution (1 in 4) and 10 mL of hydrochloric acid, and titrate with 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate VS just to the disappearance of the brown color. Perform a blank determination. The difference between the volume of 0.1 N sodium thiosulfate required for the blank and that required for the test specimen is not more than 2.2 mL.

The Uses of Propionic Acid:
Propionic acid is used in the manufacture of herbicides, fine chemical intermediates, rubber chemicals, emulsions, and environmentally friendly solvents for coating formulations, artificial fruit flavors, pharmaceuticals, and modified synthetic cellulose fibers. It is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food ingredient by FDA, where it acts as an antimicrobial agent for food preservation. In agriculture and livestock operations, propionic acid can be used to sanitize the surface of places where silage and grain are stored. Propionic acid, as a relatively strong organic acid, has been employed as an antimicrobial agent in foodstuffs such as dairy and baking products. It is used in the production of chemicals and polymers.

Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage: Contain spilled material. Use proper personal protective equipment. Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Remove all ignition sources and ventilate area. Contain the spill with sand or other inert absorbent material, neutralize with sodium bicarbonate or calcium hydroxide, and deposit in a sealed bag or container. Use water spray to dilute spill to a non-flammable mixture. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Wash area with soap and water. Use water spray to disperse the gas/vapor. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Cover with material such as dry soda ash or calcium carbonate and place into a closed container for disposal.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling.
