| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS LIQUID CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: (Ceiling value) 0.1 mg/m³; (skin); (ACGIH 2002). MAK: sensitization of skin (Sh); (DFG 2005). |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. INHALATION RISK: A harmful contamination of the air can be reached rather quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Inhalation of high concentration of the fume of this substance may cause lung oedema (see Notes). Corrosive on ingestion. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. | ||
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |||
|
Boiling point: 273°C Melting point: 14.1°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.05 Solubility in water: good Vapour pressure, Pa at 25°C: 4 |
Flash point: 134°C o.c. Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.18 | ||
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
|
The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
| |||
| NOTES | |||
|
The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure. Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See section Occupational Exposure Limits.
