Physical/chemical properies The liquid is miscible with organic solvents, nearly insoluble in water, lighter than water, while vapors are heavier than air. Formation of flammable or explosive vapor/air mixtures is possible. Property Value Physical state Liquid Color Colorless Odor Olefin-like Density 0.7-0,73 g/cm3 (20 C) Vapour heavier than air Melting / boiling point <-60 C / 117-135 C (1013 hpa) Flammability highly flammable liquid F Explosive Properties No explosive properties Self-ignition temperature 245 C Vapor pressure 48.1 hpa (20 C) Water solubility Ca. 283 mg/l Flash point 8 C Method: closed cup Octanol-water partition coefficient log Pow: 5.4-6.2 Health effects Effect Assessment Acute toxicity (oral, dermal and Low acute toxicity. inhalation) Inhalation of high vapor concentrations can cause CNSdepression and narcosis. Harmful: May cause lung damage if swallowed. Eye / Skin irritation Slightly irritating / irritating to eye / skin. Has skin-degreasing properties. Sensitization Not considered to be sensitizing Toxicity after repeated exposure Low long-term toxicity Genotoxicity/mutagenicity Not mutagenic / genotoxic Carcinogenicity According to current knowledge, CMR effects are not to be expected from repeated administration in the mutagenicity and toxicity tests. Toxicity for reproduction No evidence of adverse effects on fertility the fetus. November 2011 Version 1 page 2/5
Environmental effects Effect Assessment Aquatic toxicity Harmful to water organisms Fate and Behavior Biodegradation Bioaccumulation potential PBT / vpvb conclusion Only sparingly biodegradable Bioaccumulation possible Neither considered to be PBT nor vpvb Photochemical degradation takes place. Exposure Human health Because the substance is handled in closed systems under controlled conditions and is contained in public used products only in minor concentrations (e.g. in fuel) limited exposure is to be expected. Environment Because the substance is handled in closed systems under controlled conditions and is contained in public used products in fuel only in minor concentrations (e.g. in fuel) limited exposure is to be expected. Risk management recommendations Industry use, production and formulation Assumes a good basic standard of occupational hygiene is implemented Substance has to be handled in closed systems. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not inhale vapors / aerosols. Provide good ventilation or extraction. Take precautionary measures against static charges, keep away from sources of ignition. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Ensure explosion proofness. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Wear personal protective equipment Chemical-resistant protective gloves for example, nitrilebutadiene rubber (NBR) gloves Close-fitting protective goggles (e.g. closed goggles) No direct release to soil and surface water.
