EXPOSURE


  • INHALATION



  • SKIN
    		• Redness.
    		Protective gloves.
    		Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
  • EYES
    		• Redness.
    		Safety spectacles.
    		First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
  • INGESTION

    		• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.

    SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING
    Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place.

    PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
     LIQUID.

    PHYSICAL DANGERS:

    CHEMICAL DANGERS:

    OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
     TLV not established.


    		ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
     The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

    INHALATION RISK:
     Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.

    EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
     The substance irritates the eyes and the skin.

    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
    PHYSICAL

    Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 18-22°C: 0.09
    Vapour pressure, kPa at 25°C: 0.0008
    Relative vapour density (air = 1): 7.5
    		 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00
    Flash point: 120°C o.c.
    Auto-ignition temperature: 393°C
    Explosive limits, vol% in air: 0.6-4.2
    Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.47
