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
Inhalation risk
Vapours are uninhibited and may polymerize, blocking vents.
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly
