UN Hazard Class: 8 UN Packing Group: III BIS(2-ETHYLHEXYL)PHOSPHATE ICSC: 1412 Important Data Physical State; Appearance: COLOURLESS OR AMBER LIQUID. Physical Dangers: Chemical Dangers: The substance decomposes on heating at 240°C producing toxic fumes of phosphorous oxides. Attacks many metals forming flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). Occupational Exposure Limits: TLV not established. MAK not established. Routes of Exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and through the skin. Inhalation Risk: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying. Effects of Short-Term Exposure: The substance is corrosive to the eyes and the skin. Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure: Physical Properties Decomposes below boiling point at 240°C Melting point: -50°C Density: 0.96 g/cm3 Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 0.21 Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: <10 Flash point: 196°C o.c. Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.67 Environmental Data The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
