Use proper glove removal technique (without touching gloves outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.<br \/> Body Protection: Complete suit protecting against chemicals. Flame retardant anti-static protective clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.<br \/> Respiratory Protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multipurpose combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Physical and Chemical Properties<\/strong><br \/> Appearance: Clear, Colourless Liquid<br \/> Odour: Pungent<br \/> Odour Threshold: No Data Available<br \/> pH: No Data Available<br \/> Melting Point: Melting Point\/Range: -98 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Boiling Point: 64,7 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Flash Point: 9,7 \ufffd\ufffdC \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Closed Cup<br \/> Evaporation: No Data Available<br \/> Flammability: No Data Available<br \/> Upper\/Lower Flammability or Explosive Limits: Upper explosion limit: 36 %(V),<br \/> Lower explosion limit: 6 %(V).<br \/> Vapour pressure: 130,3 hPa at 20,0 \ufffd\ufffdC,<br \/> 546,6 hPa at 50,0 \ufffd\ufffdC,<br \/> 169,27 hPa at 25,0 \ufffd\ufffdC.<br \/> Vapour density: 1,11<br \/> Relative density: 0,791 g\/mL at 25 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Water solubility: Completely Miscible<br \/> Partition Coefficien: Log Pow: -0,77<br \/> Auto-ignition Temperature: 455,0 \ufffd\ufffdC at 1.013 hPa<br \/> Decomposition Temperature: No Data Available<br \/> Viscosity: No Data Available<br \/> Explosive properties: Not explosive<br \/> Oxidizing properties: The substance or mixture is not classified as oxidizing.<br \/> Other Safety Info: Minimum ignition energy: 0,14 mJ.<br \/> Conductivity: &lt; 1 ?S\/cm.<br \/> Relative vapour density 1,11<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stability and Reactivity<\/strong><br \/> Reactivity: No Data Available<br \/> Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions.<br \/> Possibility of hazardous reactions: No Data Available<br \/> Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flames and sparks.<br \/> Incompatible Materials: Acid Chlorides, Acid Anhydrides, Oxidizing agents, Alkali metals, Reducing agents, Acids.<br \/> Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Carbon Oxides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toxicological Information<\/strong><br \/> Acute Toxicity: LD50 Oral \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Rat \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd male and female \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd &gt; 1.187 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 2.769 mg\/kg<br \/> Remarks: (ECHA) (Regulation (EC) No 1272\/2008, Annex VI)<br \/> LDLO Oral \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Human \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 143 mg\/kg<br \/> Remarks: Lungs, Thorax, or Respiration: Dyspnea.
