TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.	Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Above 52°C explosive vapour/air mixtures may be formed.	Above 52°C closed system, ventilation.	In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

EXPOSURE
Inhalation	Cough. Nausea. Sore throat. Vomiting. Dizziness.	Ventilation, local exhaust, or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer for medical attention.
Eyes	Redness. Pain. Blurred vision.	Face shield 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	Abdominal pain. Diarrhoea.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
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.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS HYGROSCOPIC LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.

Chemical dangers
On combustion, forms toxic gases (nitrogen oxides). Reacts with strong acids and strong oxidants.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 2 ppm as TWA; (skin); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: 5 ppm, 24 mg/m³; Peak limitation category: I(1); skin absorption (H); Pregnancy risk group: D; (DFG 2004).

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 can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is corrosive to the eyes and is severely irritating to the skin and the respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the nervous system.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: 163°C Melting point: -70°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.88 Solubility in water: miscible Vapour pressure, kPa at 20°C: 2.8 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.01 Flash point: 52°C (c.c.) Auto-ignition temperature: 250°C Explosive limits, vol% in air: 1.9-28 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.46
