Signal: Warning Health haz May be harmful if swallowed Suspected of causing cancer Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects CHPTAC (50-70 % aqueous solution) ICSC: 1669 Important Data Physical State; Appearance: COLORLESS TO LIGHT YELLOW, CLEAR, ODORLESS LIQUID Physical Dangers: Chemical Dangers: The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and flammable vapors. Occupational Exposure Limits: TLV not established. MAK not established. Routes of Exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body in hazardous amounts by inhalation of its aerosol, through the skin and by ingestion. 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: Effects of Long-Term or Repeated Exposure: This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Physical Properties Density: 1.2 g/cm3 Solubility in water: miscible Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: < -1.5 Environmental Data The substance is harmful to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. It is strongly advised that this substance does not enter the environment. N O T E S Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested. Do NOT take working clothes home. Under alkaline conditions, the substance produces EPTAC. See ICSC 1668, EPTAC.
