IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Chemical dangers The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts violently 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. Inhalation risk A harmful contamination of the air will will not or will only very slowly be reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the skin, and is severely irritating to the eyes.
