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 and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers
Reacts with strong oxidants. Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be
Occupational exposure limits reached on evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
TLV: 50 ppm as TWA; (skin); (ACGIH 1999).
MAK not established. Effects of short-term exposure
The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. The
substance may cause effects on the central nervous system.
Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The liquid defats the skin.
