PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
COLOURLESS LIQUID

PHYSICAL DANGERS:

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides. Reacts with strong oxidants.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV not established.

ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.

INHALATION RISK:
No indication can be given about the rate in which a harmful concentration in the air is reached on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:

EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE:
See Notes.

PHYSICAL
PROPERTIES

Boiling point at 0.27kPa: 195-197°C
Melting point: -15 to -11°C

Relative density (water = 1): 1.13
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 9.0

ENVIRONMENTAL
DATA

N O T E S

The substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature. Health effects of exposure to the substance have not been investigated adequately. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
