IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS LIQUID

Chemical dangers
Reacts with strong oxidants. Attacks rubber, paints and lining materials.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.
MAK not established.

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

Effects of short-term exposure
If this liquid is swallowed, aspiration into the lungs may result in chemical pneumonitis.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
The liquid defats the skin.
