IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation,
through the skin and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers
Inhalation risk
Reacts violently with oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard.
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful
concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this
Occupational exposure limits
substance at 20/C.
TLV not established.
Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes the skin and the
respiratory tract. Swallowing the liquid may cause aspiration into
the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis. The substance
may cause effects on the central nervous system. Exposure
may result in unconsciousness.
Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.
