TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
NO open flames.
|
Powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
| EXPLOSION |
Above 105°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.
|
Above 105°C use a closed system, ventilation.
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
|

| EXPOSURE |
|
AVOID ALL CONTACT!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Nausea. Vomiting. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Weakness.
|
Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.
|
Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Skin |
MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain Skin burns. (Further see Inhalation).
|
Protective gloves. Protective clothing.
|
First rinse with plenty of water, then remove contaminated clothes and rinse again. Refer for medical attention.
|
| Eyes |
Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.
|
Face shield.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
(further see Inhalation).
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place.
|
UN Hazard Class: 6.1
UN Pack Group: III Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. |
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE |
|
Separated from strong oxidants, food and feedstuffs, and maleic anhydride. Dry. Keep in the dark. Well closed.
|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS HYGROSCOPIC LIQUID , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. TURNS BROWN AFTER EXPOSURE TO LIGHT. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating and on burning producing toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Reacts with strong oxidants and maleic anhydride. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The vapour irritates the eyes and the skin. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the liver and retina of the eyes. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |

Boiling point: 238°C
Melting point: -15°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.09 Solubility in water: see Notes Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 100 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.5 |
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00
Flash point: 105°C Auto-ignition temperature: 480°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.2-7 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.06 |
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
This substance may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to fish.
|
| NOTES | |
|
Not soluble in cold water, completely soluble in hot water. Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is indicated.
