International Chemical Safety Cards DIETHYLENE BENZYL BENZOATE ICSC: 0447 I M P O R T A N T D A T A PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: CRYSTALS. PHYSICAL DANGERS: The vapour is heavier than air. CHEMICAL DANGERS: On combustion, forms irritating fumes. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs): TLV not established. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly. EFFECTS OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance irritates slightly the eyes and the skin. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Boiling point at 0.7 kPa: 236°C Melting point: 28°C Relative density (water = 1): 1.2 Solubility in water, g/100 ml: miscible Relative vapour density (air = 1): 9.4 Flash point: 232°C

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
N O T E S
Use of alcohol foam, foam and water as extinguishing agent may cause frothing. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. NFPA Code: H0; F1; R0;
