IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS OILY LIQUID

Chemical dangers
The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes. Reacts with oxidants.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK 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 harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.

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