COLOURLESS CRYSTALS OR BEIGE POWDER.

CHEMICAL DANGERS:
On combustion, forms toxic gases. The substance decomposes on heating.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS:
TLV not established. MAK not established.

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

INHALATION RISK:
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying.

EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE:
The substance may cause effects on the nervous system.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Melting point: 144°C
Density: 1.54 g/cmł
Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: 0.061
