IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance Routes of exposure
COLOURLESS LIQUID, WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation,
through the skin and by ingestion.
Physical dangers
Inhalation risk
The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground;
distant ignition possible. The vapours are uninhibited and may A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly
polymerize, blocking vents. on evaporation of this substance at 20/C.
Chemical dangers Effects of short-term exposure
The substance may polymerize spontaneously due to warming, The substance is irritating to the skin and the respiratory tract,
under the influence of light and on contact with peroxides. and is severely irritating to the eyes.
Reacts violently with strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidants
causing fire and explosion hazard. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization.
Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 2 ppm as TWA; (skin); A4; SEN; (ACGIH 2003).
MAK: 5 ppm, 18 mg/m3; Sh; Peak limitation category: I(1);
Pregnancy risk group: IIc; (DFG 2003).
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Melting point: -76.5/C Flash point: -2.8/C c.c.
Relative density (water = 1): 0.95 Auto-ignition temperature: 468/C
Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20/C: 6 Explosive limits, vol% in air: 2.8-25
Vapour pressure, kPa at 20/C: 9.1 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 0.8
Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.0
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.
NOTES
An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert.
The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.
Do NOT take working clothes home.
