EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE

IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance BRIGHT BLUE CRYSTALS. Chemical dangers The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic fumes. Occupational exposure limits TLV not established. MAK not established.	Inhalation risk No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration of this substance in the air is reached.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Decomposes at >250 °C (See Notes) Density: 1.62 g/cm³ Solubility in water: none Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 6.6 calc.
