Respiratory Protection: Use a NIOSH-approved respirator in cases where exposure to mist or vapor is possible
Other Protection: Eye-wash stations and safety showers recommended in work areas
Appearance: Clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid
Odor: Faint ester-like aroma
pH: Not applicable (non-water soluble liquid)
Melting Point: -45 °C
Boiling Point: 320 – 333 °C
Flash Point: >180 °C (closed cup)
Evaporation Rate: Negligible under ambient conditions
Flammability: Not classified as flammable in standard conditions
Vapor Pressure: Very low at 20 °C
Solubility: Practically insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents
Partition Coefficient (log Pow): Estimated at 5.3
Decomposition Temperature: No significant decomposition below boiling point
Viscosity: Moderate, typical for ester oils
Chemical Stability: Stable under normal storage and handling conditions
Possible Hazardous Reactions: None anticipated in normal industrial use
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases
Conditions to Avoid: Prolonged exposure to heat, open flames, strong ultraviolet light
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Thermal decomposition can generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and potentially small amounts of organic acids
Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity in animal studies (LD50 values > 5,000 mg/kg in rats)
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Non-corrosive, may cause mild irritation after prolonged exposure
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause mild transient discomfort if splashed in the eyes
Sensitization: Not expected to cause skin sensitization
Repeated Dose Toxicity: No adverse effects reported in sub-chronic animal studies
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity: No evidence of reproductive toxicity at typical occupational exposure levels
Mutagenicity: Negative in standard in vitro and animal genotoxicity tests
Ecotoxicity: Product is not classified as hazardous to the environment
Aquatic Toxicity: LC50 for fish > 100 mg/L (low acute toxicity to aquatic life)
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable, will degrade in the presence of water and microorganisms
Bioaccumulative Potential: Potential for accumulation exists due to high log Pow, but rapid biodegradation reduces risk
Mobility in Soil: Low water solubility limits mobility, mostly absorbed to soil constituents
Other Adverse Effects: No significant ozone depletion, photochemical potential, or endocrine disruption properties reported
