General Description
Oily colorless to pale yellow liquid. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. (USCG, 1999)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Flammable. Insoluble in water.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
INGESTION: irritation of stomach. ASPIRATION: pulmonary irritation is normally minimal but may become more severe several hours after exposure. (Delayed development can be detected by serial chest x-rays.) (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
May be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid. Charring may occur followed by ignition of unreacted material and other nearby combustibles. In other settings, mostly unreactive. Not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents. When heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents, burns exothermically to produce mostly carbon dioxide and water.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
