Methoxypropylamine has been unreactive (negative) in short-term genotoxicity assays. Methoxypropylamine should be handled
in well-ventilated areas and chemical type goggles with face shield, impervious suits, gloves and rubber boots should be worn. If
eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. If skin contact occurs, wash exposed areas with soap
and water, remove contaminated clothing and wash clothing before reuse. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting, but give large
quantities of water. Give at least one ounce of vinegar in an equal amount of water.

Since methoxypropylamine has a low vapor pressure, inhalation under usual or ordinary circumstances should not present a
problem. However, repeated exposure to high concentrations of vapor could cause respiratory irritation and/or hazy vision from
a film over the cornea of the eye. Both conditions disappear with discontinuance of exposure and no residual injury is known.
Due care should be exercised to avoid breathing of vapors, skin contact and exposure to open flame. Areas in which vapors or
mists may be emitted should be well-ventilated, and spills in confined areas should be cleaned up promptly.
For additional information on the toxicity and safe handling of this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (Safety
Data Sheet in Europe) prior to use of this product.

Storage tanks constructed to a recognized code, using carbon steel as a material of construction, generally are satisfactory.
However, prolonged storage in carbon steel may cause the color of the product to increase. In those cases where color needs to
be preserved, stainless steel or aluminum should be used.

Since methoxypropylamine has a low flash point (80°F, TCC), adequate precautions should be observed to reduce fire hazards.
It should be used only in a well-ventilated area and precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to sparks and open flames.
Ground wires should be welded to the storage tank to reduce the chances of static electricity build-up. Where possible,
equipment should also be electrically bonded. Either float or manometer type gauges are recommended for tank metering.
Gauge glasses are not recommended for this service as they are subject to accidental breakage, resulting in a serious fire hazard.

In case of spills eliminate all sources of ignition. Spills should be removed by absorbing with dry absorbent materials or by
washing with water.

The same storage and handling information discussed above applies to drum material.
Methoxypropylamine may be removed from drums by either pumping or draining. While material is being removed from the drum, a dry inert gas blanket or purge should be maintained or, optionally, the 3/4 inch bung can be fitted with a suitable dryer tube. Adequate ventilation and suitable protective devices should be employed.

Methoxypropylamine (MPA) is one of the promising alternative amines to control pH value of the secondary coolant of pressurized water reactors.
Several carboxylic acids may be generated through thermal decomposition of the amine, and possibly brings about acidic environment for turbines.
Therefore, it is important to evaluate yields of the carboxylic acids resulted from the thermal decomposition of the amine.
The thermal decomposition of MPA was investigated under two conditions: (1) dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration less than 5 ppb at 553 K and (2) DO concentration of 20 ppb at 343 K,
Initial MPA concentration was 10 ppm.
After the tests, concentrations of MAP and carboxylic acids were measured with ion chromatography.
Approximately 9 to 15% of MPA was decomposed after the tests.
Carboxylic acid concentrations were as follows: (1) formate 110 ppb, acetate 260 ppb and propionate 400 ppb at 553 K, (2) formate less than 2 ppb, acetate 60 ppb and propionate 1270 ppb at 343 K.
Reaction mechanism of the MPA decomposition was estimated based on the present experimental results.

It has been observed that in dilute solution forms,methoxypropylamine does not emanate any foul odour, and hence is a suitable replacement for morpholine. This replacement characteristic is expected to drive the market growth of methoxypropylamine.

Methoxypropylamine also finds applications in dye solvents, textiles and insecticide emulsions. It should be mentioned that methoxypropylamine is used where mild volatility is preferred. It is also used to modify polybutadiene-based isocyanates in the manufacture of dyes. Methoxypropylamine, in its dilute form, is used to treat aluminium and aluminium surfaces. This is done in order to enhance the adhesive capability of different coating types, which could be applied to aluminium surfaces.

It is noteworthy that methoxypropylamine reacts with bis (2-carbamoylphenyl) disulfides to produce substances which are used in limiting the growth of mildew fungi in alkyd and latex paints. Methoxypropylamine also reacts with carbamates, quinones, benzothiazole and other substrates to obtain similar products. It can react with styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer and a diamine to produce compounds which could prove to be effective against silicosis. Such specialised applications have been propelling growth for the global methoxypropylamine market.

Plant growth regulators and phenol-free paint removers can be produced from methoxypropylamine, and hence, their demand has been driving the market. Also, it has been observed that methoxypropylamine is used to manufacture a fluorescent brightener for cellulosic textiles, and that the brightener showed high effectiveness at low temperatures and did not cause discolouration of washing powders; thereby making methoxypropylamine a preferred raw material in the manufacture of brighteners.

Methoxypropylamine is also used to prevent corrosion in steam condensate systems. The addition of methoxypropylamine in these systems is shown to hinder the corrosion process, which occurs due the presence of carbon dioxide in water. Methoxypropylamine finds application as an additive to restrict the process of corrosion in oil refining equipment since crude oil can contain acidic materials, which in turn may corrode the equipment. Growth of the crude oil industry, hence, is expected to indirectly boost the demand for methoxypropylamine in the next few years.
However, methoxypropylamine is found to be flammable, and is also known to cause skin irritation and burning in case of skin contact. It could also prove to be harmful in case of accidental ingestion. These factors may prove to be detrimental to the market growth of methoxypropylamine.

High frequency of exposure to high concentrations of methoxypropylamine can cause respiratory problems and temporary vision distortion. Specific locations, where occurrence of methoxypropylamine leaks could potentially take place need to be properly ventilated. The U.S. regulatory body OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has mentioned specific regulations to be followed while handling and storing methoxypropylamine and for protecting oneself from methoxypropylamine. Such stringent regulations, in turn, could also dampen the market growth of methoxypropylamine in the near future.

In secondary systems of pressurized water reactors (PWRs), reduction in iron concentration in feedwater is one of the most important subjects.
Iron oxides are carried into stream generators (SGs) and deposited on SG tubing.
Then, the degradation of heat exchange efficiency, the reduction in the cross-sectional area of secondary coolant flow and the oscillation of water level, and so on may occur.
Iron is generated through the corrosion of piping.
It is considered that a reducing and slightly alkaline condition prevents the corrosion of the piping.
In most PWR plants, secondary water chemistry is controlled by hydrazine as an oxygen scavenger and a weak base.
In Japan, the pH of the secondary coolant has been adjusted by the addition of ammonia.
However, ammonia is volatile and tends to transfer to a gas phase during boiling.
As a result, it is difficult to control the pH of the secondary coolant by ammonia addition in a sufficiently alkaline region under two-phase flow conditions.
To overcome this phenomenon, ammonia concentration should be increased or ammonia should be substituted by a less volatile base.
Higher concentration ammonia is effective for suppressing corrosion, but concern about the dissolution of copper ions may arise.
Copper-containing materials should be removed before increaseing the ammonia concentration.
As alternative amines, 2-ethanolamine has recently been used in Japan,and in overseas, several amines have been used.

Some candidate amines are listed in Ref.
Among the amines, 3-methoxypropylamine (MOPA) is promising.
It is a slightly strong base, and a lower concentration is required to adjust a constant pH.
Its volatility is moderate, and it is expected that MOPA can adjust pH with tolerance even under boiling conditions without concentration in a local area, such as a crevice.
In the US, MOPA has been added to secondary systems of commercial PWR plants.
In order to evaluate the applicability of MOPA as a pH modifier in PWR secondary systems, many test results must be accumulated: the thermal decomposition behavior of MOPA, the coMOPAtibility of MOPA with materials in secondary systems, the distribution of MOPA and pH in secondary circuits, the integrity of turbine materials in the presence of MOPA, the integrity of SG tubing in the presence of MOPA, the effect on the scale deposition behavior, and so on.
In the present paper, the thermal decomposition of MOPA was examined.
In particular, the production of carboxylic acid was considered from the aspect of material issues.
In the previous work, only decomposition rate of MOPA was reported.
Concentrations of the carboxylic acids were measured after thermal decomposition tests of MOPA in an autoclave, and the reaction mechanism of the MOPA decomposition was discussed.

Methoxypropylamine and hydrazine steam condensate corrosion inhibitor compositions and methods
Abstract
Use of methoxypropylamine as a neutralizing

Illustrative of compounds falling within composition 1 are methoxypropylamine (MOPA), ethoxypropylamine, methoxyethylamine and the like. The most preferred compound is MOPA. To simplify further discussions herein of the invention, it will be illustrated by using MOPA although it is understood that the other compounds falling within Formula I are also operative.
A very important aspect of the present invention is the discovery that MOPA will control or prevent corrosion without forming significant or troublesome deposits over either short or prolonged periods of time. In contrast to MOPA, other presently known corrosion inhibitors tested in water-free systems cause significant d amine in combination with hydrazine to prevent corrosion in steam condensate systems or in other low solids aqueous systems.

3-Methoxypropylamine (MPA) is one of the promising alternative amines to control pH value of the secondary coolant of pressurized water reactors.
Several carboxylic acids may be generated through thermal decomposition of the amine, and possibly brings about acidic environment for turbines.
Therefore, it is important to evaluate yields of the carboxylic acids resulted from the thermal decomposition of the amine.
The thermal decomposition of MPA was investigated under two conditions: (1) dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration less than 5 ppb at 553 K and (2) DO concentration of 20 ppb at 343 K.
Initial MPA concentration was 10 ppm.
After the tests, concentrations of MAP and carboxylic acids were measured with ion chromatography.
Approximately 9 to 15% of MPA was decomposed after the tests.
Carboxylic acid concentrations were as follows:
(1) formate 110 ppb, acetate 260 ppb and propionate 400 ppb at 553 K,
(2) formate less than 2 ppb, acetate 60 ppb and propionate 1270 ppb at 343 K.
Reaction mechanism of the MPA decomposition was estimated based on the present experimental results. (author)

For more than a decade, multiple component boiler water treatment programs based on "polyamine" chemistry have been applied commercially in the global boiler water treatment marketplace.
These programs have been used in both high and low-pressure systems.
Although there is a considerable body of literature that reports on the results obtained from the application of polyamine programs in operating boilers, there is a lack of detailed research comparisons between a “traditional” boiler water treatment program and a polyamine program.
A traditional boiler treatment program for the purpose of this discussion would include a dissolved oxygen scavenger appropriate to the operating pressure of the boiler to protect the system against dissolved oxygen corrosion. Examples of oxygen scavengers employed for boiler corrosion protection would include sodium sulfite, hydrazine and various hydroxylamines, such as diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA), hydroquinone, ascorbic/erythorbic acid and carbohydrazide, among others.
A traditional treatment would also include a neutralizing amine component or a blend of such amines for pH elevation of the boiler feedwater and condensate.
Common examples used in traditional boiler water treatment would include amines such as cyclohexylamine, morpholine, diethylaminoethanol (DEAE), methoxypropylamine (MOPA) and monoethanolamine (MEA), among others.
The polyamine program, in contrast, does not employ a traditional dissolved oxygen scavenger, but rather a long-chain fatty diamine corrosion inhibitor that is combined with a traditional blend of neutralizing amines for pH elevation in a similar manner to the traditional approach described above.
Polymeric dispersant may be added to either the traditional or polyamine program for internal boiler deposit control.
The pH control ranges targeted in the boiler feedwater and condensate would be identical for the traditional and polyamine programs, thus the difference in the polyamine program is the presence of the polyamine corrosion inhibitor and the absence of traditional dissolved oxygen scavenger.

There are several different neutralizing amine components typically used in the treatment of boiler feedwater and/or condensate.
Neutralizing amines each have different chemical properties, and it is important to understand the differences so that the correct components can be applied.
Neutralizing amines typically applied in power plant systems are cyclohexylamine (CHA), methoxypropylamine (MPA), monoethanolamine (ETA), and morpholine.
Neutralizing amines are weak bases that are typically classified in terms of their "neutralizing capacity," "basicity," and "distribution ratio."
The neutralizing capacity is a measure of how much amine it takes to neutralize a given amount of acid.
Usually it is expressed as the ppm of CO2 (or carbonic acid) neutralized per ppm of neutralizing amine.
Once the acid has been neutralized, each amine has a different ability to boost pH, which is accomplished by the hydrolysis of the amine to form hydroxyl (OH-) ions.

Distribution ratio refers to the volatility of the amine, which is one factor that helps determine how each amine component will partition between the liquid and steam phases.
The distribution ratio of a particular amine also influences how much amine is recycled throughout the system, and how much amine will be lost from the system via boiler blowdown and steam venting.

While neutralizing amine chemistry may appear to be relatively straightforward, it is in fact quite complex.
For example, the distribution ratio for a given amine is actually a function of pressure, temperature and pH.
This means if you feed more or less neutralizing amine in a given system and affect the pH, the distribution of the amine between the liquid and steam phases will change as well.

In addition, the chemistry of neutralization is actually based on equilibrium chemistry of weak acids and weak bases.
In many cases, there are multiple neutralizing amine components and acid components present so it becomes even more difficult to predict the amine distribution and pH profile across the system without using sophisticated computerized modeling techniques or without performing extensive empirical in-plant analyses.
The thermal stability of the neutralizing amine must also be considered when designing a treatment program to control FAC.
Most amines degrade to some degree in an aqueous, alkaline, high temperature environment to form carbon dioxide, organic acids and ammonia.
Morpholine, CHA, ETA, and MPA are considered the most thermally stable amines and are routinely employed in high-pressure power plant applications.

Practically all steam generators in power plants use some type of neutralizing amines or a blend of neutralizing and filming amines to prevent corrosion in the secondary water system.
Neutralizing amines such as cyclohexylamine, methoxypropylamine, ethylamine, ethanolamine, morpholine, and dimethylaminoethanol, work by controlling pH and thus minimizing the source term of corrosion release.
Film forming amines, on the other hand, form a continuous layer between the metal and the coolant, thus preventing the attack of corrosive agents.
When they attach to the corroded metal surface, they modify it, reducing the apparent corrosion rate.
It has been observed that corrosion inhibitors adsorb better on iron-based materials in the active state than in the passive state.
The adsorption behavior on iron oxides is not very sensitive to the chemical structure of the adsorbing molecule, but is due to the nature of the surface and chemical effects of the oxidized surface.
At high temperatures the decomposition of organic amines can induce the formation of amine compounds and or nitrile functional derivatives.

It has been observed that in dilute solution forms, methoxypropylamine does not emanate any foul odour, and hence is a suitable replacement for morpholine. This replacement characteristic is expected to drive the market growth of methoxypropylamine.

However, methoxypropylamine is found to be flammable, and is also known to cause skin irritation and burning in case of skin contact. It could also prove to be harmful in case of accidental ingestion. These factors may prove to be detrimental to the market growth of methoxypropylamine.
