IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance COLOURLESS TO WHITE CRYSTALS, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. Chemical dangers The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic fumes including chlorine and nitrogen oxides. Reacts with aluminium and magnesium. Occupational exposure limits TLV: 10 mg/m³ as TWA 20 mg/m³ as STEL (ACGIH 2006). MAK not established.	Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts through the skin and by ingestion. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. 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. Effects of short-term exposure See Notes.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point at 1.5kPa: 136°C Melting point: 63°C Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, Pa at 23°C: 0.4 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.0 Flash point: 100°C c.c. Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.4	The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES

Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken.
