IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
COLOURLESS TO PALE YELLOW LIQUID. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the
skin and by ingestion.
Chemical dangers
The substance may polymerize due to heating above the flash point, Inhalation risk
under the influence of acid(s) and base(s). No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration
in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established. Effects of short-term exposure
MAK not established. The substance irritates the eyes and the skin. The substance may cause
effects on the central nervous system. Exposure could cause lowering of
consciousness.
Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans.
