EMERGENCY OVERVIEW:
PHYSICAL APPARANCE: Transparent, colorless liquid.
IMMEDIATE CONCERNS: Warning! High concentrations of vapor can reduce oxygen available for breathing.
Harmful if inhaled. May decompose on contact with flames or extremely hot metal surfaces to produce toxic and
corrosive products.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES: Substance causes substantial eye irritation.
SKIN: Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin
irritation and dermatitis (rash).
