Remarks: The value is given in analogy to the following substances: decane
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
After absorption of large quantities: narcosis
Other information
It generally applies for aliphatic hydrocarbons with 6 - 18 carbon atoms that they may cause pneumonia, in some cases also pulmonary oedema, upon direct inhalation, i.e. in conditions that can occur only in very special circumstances (nebulizations, spraying, inhalation of aerosols and similar). After absorption of very large quantities: narcosis.
Further data:
Other dangerous properties can not be excluded.
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
