Main hazard: Irritant, Harmful by Inhalation


Health effects: Eyes Moderate irritant to eyes
Health effects: Skin Mild irritant on skin
Health effects: Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. May be fatal
Health effects: Inhalation Mist/vapours at elevated temperatures may cause irritation in respiratory system.
