Applications

Used as an initiator along with ammonium persulfate for polymerization reactions. Is a tertiary amine that is used to catalyze the formation of free radicals from ammonium persulfate or riboflavin, generated free radicals cause the compounds acrylamide and bis-acrylamide to polymerize and form the gel matrix polyacrylamide, is functional only in its free base form, low pH conditions will inhibit polymerization, has been used in the coating of soft polymers, such as polyacrylamide, in capillaries for investigation by atomic force microscopy, microchips containing oligonucleotides and proteins immobilized within gel pads have been prepared using TEMED, the capillary isoelectric focusing of proteins with an isoelectric point (pI) >12, used in the HPLC of small organic molecules, further, it is employed as a ligand for metal ions like zinc and copper, it is actively involved in the formation of anionic organometallic complex.

Exemptions

§ 173.150 Exceptions for Class 3 (flammable and combustible liquids).

(a) General. Exceptions for hazardous materials shipments in the following paragraphs are permitted only if this section is referenced for the specific hazardous material in the § 172.101 Table of this subchapter.

(b) Limited quantities. Limited quantities of flammable liquids (Class 3) and combustible liquids are excepted from labeling requirements unless the material is offered for transportation or transported by aircraft and are excepted from the specification packaging requirements of this subchapter when packaged in combination packaging’s according to this paragraph. For transportation by aircraft, the package must also conform to applicable requirements of § 173.27 of this part (e.g., authorized materials, inner packaging quantity limits and closure securement) and only hazardous material authorized aboard passenger-carrying aircraft may be transported as a limited quantity. A limited quantity package that conforms to the provisions of this section is not subject to the shipping paper requirements of subpart C of part 172 of this subchapter, unless the material meets the definition of a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, marine pollutant, or is offered for transportation and transported by aircraft or vessel and is eligible for the exceptions provided in § 173.156 of this part. In addition, shipments of limited quantities are not subject to subpart F (Placarding) of part 172 of this subchapter. Each package must conform to the packaging requirements of subpart B of this part and may not exceed 30 kg (66 pounds) gross weight. Except for transportation by aircraft, the following combination packaging’s are authorized:

(1) For flammable liquids in Packing Group I, inner packaging’s not over 0.5 L (0.1 gallon) net capacity each, packed in a strong outer packaging;

(2) For flammable liquids in Packing Group II, inner packaging’s not over 1.0 L (0.3 gallons) net capacity each, packed in a strong outer packaging.

(3) For flammable liquids in Packing Group III and combustible liquids, inner packaging’s not over 5.0 L (1.3 gallons) net capacity each, packed in a strong outer packaging.
