Important Data
|
Physical State; Appearance:
COLOURLESS LIQUID
Physical Dangers:
The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed.
Chemical Dangers:
Reacts with strong oxidants.
Attacks some plastic, rubber.
Occupational Exposure Limits:
TLV: 200 ppm as TWA; 400 ppm as STEL; A4 (not classifiable as a human carcinogen); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: 200 ppm, 500 mg/m3
Peak limitation category: II(2); Pregnancy risk group: C;
(DFG 2004).
OSHA PEL: TWA 400 ppm (980 mg/m3)
NIOSH REL: TWA 400 ppm (980 mg/m3) ST 500 ppm (1225 mg/m3)
NIOSH IDLH: 2000 ppm 10%LEL See: 67630
|
Routes of Exposure:
The substance can be absorbed into the body
by inhalation of its vapour.
Inhalation Risk:
A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.
Effects of Short-Term Exposure:
The substance
is irritating to
the eyes
and
the respiratory tract
.
The substance may cause effects on the
central nervous system
, resulting in depression.
Exposure far above the OEL may result in unconsciousness.
Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure:
The liquid defats the skin.
