IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID, TURNS YELLOW TO BROWN ON EXPOSURE TO AIR. Chemical dangers The substance is a weak acid. Occupational exposure limits TLV not established.	Inhalation risk Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is mildly irritating to the eyes and the skin.
