Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS LIQUID
, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.
Physical Dangers:
Chemical Dangers:
Reacts
with
strong oxidants
causing fire and explosion hazard.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV not established.
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour
and
by ingestion.
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:
The substance
irritates
the eyes,
the skin
and
the respiratory tract.
The substance may cause effects on the
central nervous system
.
Exposure at high level, if ingested, could cause lowering of consciousness.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The liquid defats the skin.

|
|
N O T E S
|
Environmental effects from the substance have not been investigated adequately.
Cyclohexylacetate is more narcotic and more lethal to animals at lower concentrations than other acetates but beeing of lower volatility, it is less hazardous from the industrial point of view.
The relation between odour and the occupational exposure limit cannot be indicated.
