After contact with liquid blister formation may be delayed until several hours have passed. Explosive limits are unknown in literature, although the substance is combustible and has a flash point < 61°C. The occupational exposure limit value should not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. |
