This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an Industrial Hygienist 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. 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. Respiratory protection Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (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). - F8775 9. 9.1 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Information on basic physical and chemical properties a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) Appearance Odour Odour Threshold pH Melting point/freezing point Initial boiling point and boiling range Flash point Evaporation rate Form: liquid, clear Colour: colourless no data available no data available no data available no data available no data available 64 °C - closed cup no data available i) Flammability (solid, gas) no data available j) k) l) Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits Vapour pressure Vapour density Upper explosion limit: 73 %(V) Lower explosion limit: 7 %(V) 69 hPa at 37 °C 1,04 - (Air = 1.0) m) Relative density 1,016 g/cm3 n) o) p) q) r) s) t) Water solubility Partition coefficient: n- octanol/water Autoignition temperature Decomposition temperature Viscosity Explosive properties Oxidizing properties no data available no data available no data available no data available no data available no data available no data available 9.2 10. 10.1 10.2 10.3 10.4 10.5 Other safety information no data available STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Reactivity no data available Chemical stability no data available Contains the following stabiliser(s): Methanol (>=10 - <=15 %) Possibility of hazardous reactions no data available Conditions to avoid Heat, flames and sparks.
