| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
May cause respiratory tract irritation. | 【Skin】
May cause skin irritation. | 【Eyes】
May cause eye irritation and possible burns. | 【Ingestion】
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Human fatalities have been reported from acute poisoning. | 【Hazards】
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. | 【EC Risk Phrase】
