IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
OILY VISCOUS LIQUID

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.

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

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans.
