1410 METHYL CHLOROACETATE
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.
Physical dangers
Inhalation risk
The vapour is heavier than air.
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly
on evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on burning producing corrosive
Effects of short-term exposure
fumes including hydrogen chloride. Reacts with reducing agents
and oxidants. The substance is corrosive to the skin, is severely irritating to
the eyes and is irritating to the respiratory tract.
Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK: 1 ppm, 4.5 mg/m3; Peak limitation category: I(1); skin
absorption (H); sensitization of skin (Sh); Pregnancy risk group:
D; (DFG 2004).
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Boiling point: 129.5/C Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20/C (air = 1): 1.02
Melting point: -32.1/C Flash point: 57/C o.c.
Density: 1.2 g/cm3 Auto-ignition temperature: 465/C
Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 19.8/C: 5.2 Explosive limits, vol% in air: 7.5-18.5
Vapour pressure, Pa at 20/C: 650 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.76 (calculated)
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.7
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.
