IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
COLOURLESS TO YELLOW - BROWN FUMING VISCOUS The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of
LIQUID, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. its vapour and by ingestion.
Physical dangers Inhalation risk
The vapour is heavier than air. A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly
on evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
Chemical dangers
Effects of short-term exposure
The substance decomposes on heating, on contact with acids
and water, producing toxic and corrosive gases including The substance irritates is severely irritating to the skin and the
hydrogen chloride and benzoic acid. Reacts violently with strong respiratory tract, and is corrosive to the eyes. Inhalation of the
oxidants, metals (especially iron), alkali and earth alkali metals, vapour may cause lung oedema (see Notes). Swallowing the
bases organic compounds, causing fire and explosion hazard. liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of
On contact with air it emits toxic and corrosive hydrogen chloride chemical pneumonitis.
(see ICSC0163. Attacks many metals in presence of water.
Attacks many plastics. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The substance may have effects on the liver, kidneys, thyroid
Occupational exposure limits central nervous system and hematopoetic system, resulting in
TLV: 0.1 ppm as TWA; (skin); A2 (suspected human impaired functions and anaemia. This substance is probably
carcinogen); (ACGIH 2004). carcinogenic to humans.
MAK: skin absorption (H); Carcinogen category: 2; (DFG 2004).
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Boiling point: 221/C Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20/C (air = 1): 1.00
Melting point: -5/C Flash point: 108/C
Relative density (water = 1): 1.38 Auto-ignition temperature: 211/C
Solubility in water: slow reaction Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.1-6.5 at 160/C
Vapour pressure, Pa at 20/C: 20 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.92
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 6.77
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
NOTES
Combustible vapour/air mixtures difficult to ignite, may be developed under certain conditions.
Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical
effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.
Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding.
Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits.
