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. 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, volatile liquid<br \/> Odour: of Chloroform<br \/> Odour Threshold: No Data Available<br \/> pH: No Data Available<br \/> Melting Point: Melting point\/range: -97 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Boiling Point: 39,8 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 40 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Flash Point: No Data Available<br \/> Evaporation: 0,71<br \/> Flammability: No Data Available<br \/> Upper\/Lower Flammability or Explosive Limits: Upper explosion limit: 19 %(V),<br \/> Lower explosion limit: 12 %(V)<br \/> Vapour pressure: 470,9 hPa at 20,0 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Vapour density: 2,93 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd (Air = 1.0)<br \/> Relative density: 1,325 g\/mL at 25 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Water solubility: Slightly Soluble<br \/> Partition Coefficien: log Pow: 1,25<br \/> Auto-ignition Temperature: 556,1 \ufffd\ufffdC, 662,0 \ufffd\ufffdC<br \/> Decomposition Temperature: No Data Available<br \/> Viscosity: No Data Available<br \/> Explosive properties: No Data Available<br \/> Oxidizing properties: No Data Available<br \/> Other Safety Info: Relative vapour density 2,93 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd (Air = 1.0)<\/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 \/> Exposure to sunlight.<br \/> Incompatible Materials: Alkali metals, Aluminum, Strong oxidizing agents, Bases, Amines, Magnesium, Strong acids and strong bases, Vinyl compounds<br \/> Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Carbon Oxides, Hydrogen Chloride Gas<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toxicological Information<\/strong><br \/> Acute Toxicity: LD50 Oral \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Rat \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd &gt; 2.000 mg\/kg<br \/> LC50 Inhalation \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Rat \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 52.000 mg\/m3<br \/> LD50 Dermal \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Rat \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd &gt; 2.000 mg\/kg<br \/> (OECD Test Guideline 402)<br \/> Skin Corrosion\/Irritation: Rabbit<br \/> Result: Irritating to skin. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 24 h<br \/> (Draize Test)<br \/> Serious Eye damage | Eye Irritation: Rabbit<br \/> Result: Irritating to eyes. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 24 h<br \/> (Draize Test)<br \/> Cell Mutagenicity: Rat<br \/> DNA damage<br \/> Carcinogenicity: Carcinogenicity \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Rat \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Inhalation<br \/> Tumorigenic: Carcinogenic by RTECS criteria.
