| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
LIGHT YELLOW LIQUID. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating or on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body through the skin. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the skin, the eyes and the respiratory tract. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
|
Boiling point: 245°C
Melting point: 25°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.1 Solubility in water: good Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: negligible Relative vapour density (air = 1): 2.9 |
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00
Flash point: 129°C o.c. |
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
|
| NOTES | |
|
Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. Also consult ICSC # 0513 (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone).
