TYPES OF
HAZARD /
EXPOSURE
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS      PREVENTION      FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. NO open flames. Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION      
 
EXPOSURE   STRICT HYGIENE! AVOID EXPOSURE OF (PREGNANT) WOMEN!  
Inhalation   Ventilation. Fresh air, rest.
Skin   Protective gloves. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes   Safety spectacles. Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion   Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Rinse mouth.

Separated from strong oxidants,

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS VISCOUS LIQUID

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on heating producing irritating fumes. Reacts with strong oxidants.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK not established.

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

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 long-term or repeated exposure
Animal tests show that this substance possibly causes toxicity to human reproduction or development.
