| FIRE |
Liquid formulations containing organic solvents may be flammable. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.
|
|
In case of fire in the surroundings: use appropriate extinguishing media.
|
| EXPLOSION |
|
|
|
| EXPOSURE |
|
STRICT HYGIENE! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
|
|
| Inhalation |
|
Avoid inhalation of dust.
|
Fresh air, rest.
|
| Skin |
|
Protective gloves.
|
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
|
| Eyes |
|
Safety spectacles.
|
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
|

| IMPORTANT DATA | |||
|
PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: COLOURLESS (PURE) TO PALE YELLOW (TECHNICAL) CRYSTALS, WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. CHEMICAL DANGERS: The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic and corrosive fumes including chloride fumes and nitrogen oxides. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS: TLV: 0.5 mg/m³; A4; (ACGIH 2004). MAK not established. |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol. INHALATION RISK: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed. EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the liver, resulting in impaired functions. | ||
| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES | |||
|
Boiling point: 328°C Melting point: 146°C Density: 1.7 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 0.00004 Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 0.007 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 10.2 |
Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.00 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 4.77 | ||
| ENVIRONMENTAL DATA | |||
|
The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur in fish. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.
| |||
| NOTES | |||
|
If the substance is formulated with solvent(s) also consult the card(s) (ICSC) of the solvent(s). Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties. Card has been partly updated in October 2004. See sections Occupational Exposure Limits, EU classification, Emergency Response. | |||
