TYPES OF
HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE |
Not combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
|
In case of fire in the surroundings: all extinguishing agents allowed.
|
| EXPLOSION |
|
|
|

| EXPOSURE |
|
PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
|
|
| Inhalation |
Cough. Shortness of breath. Sore throat.
|
Local exhaust.
|
Fresh air, rest.
|
| Skin |
Redness.
|
Protective gloves.
|
Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
|
| Eyes |
Redness.
|
Safety spectacles,
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|
| Ingestion |
Convulsions. Headache. Nausea. Vomiting.
|
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.
|
Give plenty of water to drink. Rest.
|
| SPILLAGE DISPOSAL | PACKAGING & LABELLING |
Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Wash away remainder with plenty of water.
|
|
| EMERGENCY RESPONSE | STORAGE |
|
Separated from incompatible materials, (see chemical dangers).
|
| IMPORTANT DATA | |
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
WHITE CRYSTALS , WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating above melting point producing toxic gases. Reacts violently with strong oxidants, nitrites, inorganic chlorides, chlorites and perchlorates causing fire and explosion hazard. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly if powdered. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. |
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |
|
Melting point: 132.7-135°C
Density: 1.32 Solubility in water: miscible |
Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: -3.00 to -1.54
|
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |
|
|
| NOTES | |
|
Temperature of decomposition unknown in literature.
