TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible.	NO open flames.	Water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION

EXPOSURE	See EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE.	AVOID ALL CONTACT!
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat.	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	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		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in covered containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place.	T Symbol R: 45-20-37/38-43-68-52/53 S: 53-45-61

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE
	Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Separated from strong oxidants, strong bases, strong acids and amines. Cool. Keep in the dark.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.

Chemical dangers
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. The substance polymerize under the influence of acid(s), base(s) and amines. Reacts violently with strong oxidants causing fire and explosion hazard.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 0.1 ppm as TWA; (skin); A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); SEN; (ACGIH 2005).
MAK: skin absorption (H); sensitization of skin (Sh); Carcinogen category: 2; (DFG 2005).

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

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 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. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

Boiling point: 245°C Melting point: 3.5°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.11 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 0.24 Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 1.33 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.37 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00 Flash point: 114°C c.c. Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.12	The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment.

NOTES

Do NOT take working clothes home.
Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
