TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Highly flammable.	NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with oxidizing agents.	Use foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Vapour/air mixtures are explosive.	Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Do NOT use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling.	In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

EXPOSURE		STRICT HYGIENE!
Inhalation		Use ventilation, local exhaust or breathing protection.
Skin	Redness.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in dry sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations. Do NOT wash away into sewer.	Airtight. EC Classification UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 3; UN Pack Group: II GHS Classification

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE
Transport Emergency Card: TEC (R)-30GF1-I+II. NFPA Code: H0; F3; R2.	Fireproof. Separated from oxidants. Cool. Store only if stabilized.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
COLOURLESS LIQUID.

Physical dangers
The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed.

Chemical dangers
The substance can form explosive peroxides. Reacts with oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV: 0.1ppm as TWA; A3 (confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans); (ACGIH 2004).
MAK: Carcinogen category: 2; Skin absorption (H); (DFG 2005).

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes and skin.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Boiling point: 130°C Melting point: -109°C Relative density (water = 1): 0.829 Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, kPa at 38°C: 3.43 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 3.7 Relative density of the vapour/air-mixture at 20°C (air = 1): 1.09 Flash point: 16°C c.c. Auto-ignition temperature: 269°C Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 3.93	Bioaccumulation of this chemical may occur along the food chain, for example in fish.

NOTES

Do NOT take working clothes home.
An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert.
Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
Card has been partly updated in October 2005.
