Physical Dangers: Chemical Dangers: The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts with strong oxidants, acids and bases. Occupational Exposure Limits: TLV not established. MAK: sensitization of skin (Sh); (DFG 2007). Routes of Exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body through the skin and by ingestion. Inhalation Risk: No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C. Effects of Short-Term Exposure: The substance is irritating to the respiratory tract. The substance is severely irritating to the eyes and the skin. Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
