PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE:
ODOURLESS WHITE OR COLOURLESS CRYSTALS.

PHYSICAL DANGERS:


CHEMICAL DANGERS:
The substance decomposes on burning producing toxic and corrosive fumes of nitrogen oxides and chlorine (see ICSC # 0126). Solutions are corrosive to aluminum, iron, and tin.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS (OELs):
TLV not established.


ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
The substance can be absorbed into the body through the skin and by ingestion.

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 the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.


PHYSICAL
PROPERTIES
 Melting point: 151-152°C
Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 20°C: poor		 Vapour pressure, Pa at 25°C: 0.002
ENVIRONMENTAL
DATA
 Avoid release to the environment in circumstances different to normal use.
N O T E S
Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. Lontrel and Matrigon are trade names.
