General Description
Colorless liquid with a weak chemical odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from contact with strong oxidizing agents. Can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds.
Health Hazard
Eye irritation by vapors or liquid. Central nervous system depression. Prolonged skin contact with liquid can cause dermatitis.
Chemical Reactivity
Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No reactions; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.
Safety Profile
Mildly toxic by ingestion.Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. Can react withoxidizers. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical.When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke andirritating fumes.
