TYPES OF
HAZARD /
EXPOSURE
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS      PREVENTION      FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE Combustible. NO open flames. Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION      
 
EXPOSURE   AVOID ALL CONTACT!  
Inhalation   Local exhaust or breathing protection. Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin Dry skin. Redness. Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
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 Dizziness. Drowsiness. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL PACKAGING & LABELLING
Ventilation. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Wash away remainder with plenty of water. Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours. Xi Symbol
R: 36/38-43
S: (2-)28-37/39

EMERGENCY RESPONSE SAFE STORAGE
  Separated from strong oxidants.

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
ODOURLESS YELLOWISH BROWN VISCOUS LIQUID.

Chemical dangers
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts with strong oxidants.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK: skin absorption (H); sensitization of skin (Sh); Carcinogen category: 3A; (DFG 2004).

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour.

Inhalation risk
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.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes and the skin. Exposure could cause lowering of consciousness.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.


PHYSICAL PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Melting point: 8-12°C
Relative density (water = 1): 1.17
Solubility in water: see Notes
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 11.7
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): see Notes
Flash point: 79°C o.c.
 

NOTES
Boiling point, solubility in water, vapour pressure, relative density of the vapour/air mixture, and auto-ignition temperature are unknown in the literature.
Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
Card has been partly updated in April 2005. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response.
