General Description
Straw-colored viscous liquid with faint aromatic odor. (USCG, 1999)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
May irritate eyes, nose, throat and mucous membrane. May cause coughing and chest discomfort. Prolonged exposure may cause skin irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
An ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)

First Aid
INHALATION: Get medical aid. Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.

INGESTION: If victim is conscious, have victim drink 2 glasses of water and induce vomiting by sticking a finger down the throat. Do not give anything to an unconscious or convulsive person.

EYES: Flush eyes with lots of running water for 15 minutes, lifting the upper and lower eyelids occasionally.

SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with lots of soap and water. (USCG, 1999)
