IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and through
the skin.
Physical dangers
The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant Inhalation risk
ignition possible. A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on
evaporation of this substance at 20/C ; on spraying or dispersing,
Chemical dangers however, much faster.
The substance can form explosive peroxides on contact with strong
oxidants such as acetic acid, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide. Reacts with Effects of short-term exposure
