Solubility in water, g/100ml at 25°C: 0.02
Vapour pressure at 20°C: negligible
Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.24  


EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. 

Effects of short-term exposure
 

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. 

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes malformations in human babies. 


OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
TLV: 0,1 mg/m3, as TWA; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans) 

ENVIRONMENT
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal. 

NOTES
If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s).
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
