IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour.
Physical dangers Inhalation risk
The vapour is heavier than air. A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on
evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
Chemical dangers
Reacts with oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard. Attacks many Effects of short-term exposure
plastics. The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.
Exposure at high levels may result in lowering of consciousness.
Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 50 ppm as TWA; 100 ppm as STEL; (ACGIH 2004). Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
EU OEL: 50 ppm, 270 mg/m3 as TWA; 100 ppm, 540 mg/m3 as STEL (EU The liquid defats the skin.
