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, through the skin and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers
Inhalation risk
Reacts with strong oxidants.
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly
on evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
Occupational exposure limits
MAK: 20 ppm, 86 mg/m3; H; Peak limitation category: I(2);
Effects of short-term exposure
Pregnancy risk group: C; (DFG 2004).
The substance is severely irritating to the eyes, mildly to the
skin, and is irritating to the respiratory tract. The substance may
cause effects on the blood, resulting in lesions of blood cells.
Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The liquid defats the skin.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Boiling point: 149-152/C Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.6
Melting point: -90/C Flash point: 57/C c.c.
Relative density (water = 1): 0.91 Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.3-16
Solubility in water: miscible Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.08
Vapour pressure, Pa at 25/C: 130
