TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible.	NO open flames.	Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Above 88°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	Above 88°C use a closed system, ventilation.

EXPOSURE		STRICT HYGIENE!
Inhalation	Cough. Headache. Nausea. Sore throat.	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion	Nausea. Vomiting. Headache. Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Carefully collect remainder. Personal protection: self-contained breathing apparatus.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE
NFPA Code: H 2; F 1; R 0	Separated from strong oxidants.

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS TO PALE YELLOW LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Chemical dangers The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic gases. Reacts with strong oxidants. Occupational exposure limits TLV: (Inhalable fraction) 0.1 ppm as TWA; SEN; (ACGIH 2004). MAK not established.	Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: 266-285°C Melting point: -7 - -9°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.85 Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, kPa at 25°C: 0.33 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 7.0 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.02 Flash point: 88°C o.c.
