UN 3014 Quick Details
UN 3014
Product name: Substituted nitrophenol pesticide, liquid, poisonous
DOT Class: 6
Placard type: Toxic
ERG Guide: 153 (check current ERG)
Initial isolation: ERG 153: isolate spill 25-50m all directions; if tank/rail car involved in fire, isolate 800m all directions and consider evacuation 1600m downwind
Common Hazards of UN 3014
- TOXIC and/or CORROSIVE; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury
- Methyl bromoacetate (UN2643) is an eye irritant/lachrymator (causes flow of tears).
- Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes.
- Avoid any skin contact.
- Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
- Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause environmental
- Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily.
- When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion
Chemical Identity & Physical Properties
| Also known as | dinitrophenol pesticidenitrophenol-based pesticidedinitrocresol formulationDNOC pesticidesubstituted nitrophenolic compound |
| Appearance | Varies by formulation, typically yellow to amber liquid with a characteristic phenolic odor. May be a solution or emulsion of various nitrophenol derivatives used as herbicides or insecticides. |
| Flash Point | Varies by formulation, typically 60-93C (140-200F) depending on carrier solvent |
| Boiling Point | Varies by formulation and carrier solvent, typically above 100C (212F) |
| Vapor Density | Heavier than air, typically 5-8 times air density depending on formulation |
| Water Reactivity | No significant reaction with water, but toxic to aquatic life; may dissolve or disperse creating toxic runoff |
Chemical details are general reference only. Always verify with current SDS, ERG, and SOP/SOG.
Fireground Response Guidance — UN 3014
Extinguishing Media
Alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, CO2; avoid high-pressure water streams that spread contamination
PPE Requirements
⚠️ Level B minimum for liquid contact; Level A if vapor concentrations unknown or fire involved; full face SCBA required; chemical-resistant suit, gloves, and boots mandatory due to severe skin absorption hazard
Isolation & Evacuation
ERG 153: isolate spill 25-50m all directions; if tank/rail car involved in fire, isolate 800m all directions and consider evacuation 1600m downwind
Always confirm protective actions with the current edition of the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG Guide 153).
First Actions for a UN 3014 Incident
- CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper
- Keep unauthorized personnel away.
- Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream.
- Ventilate closed spaces before entering, but only if properly trained and equipped.
- Isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters
- For highlighted materials: see Table 1 - Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances.
- For non-highlighted materials: increase the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind
