| 6 | Flammable liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 7 | Flammable solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | UNRTDG Class: 4.3 |
| 8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | There are no chemical groups associated with explosive or self-reactive properties present in the molecule. |
| 9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not classified | - | - | - | - | UNRTDG Class: 4.3 |
| 11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Not classified | - | - | - | - | UNRTDG Class: 4.3 |
| 12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H260: In contact with water releases flammable gases which may ignite spontaneously |
P231+P232: Handle under inert gas. Protect from moisture. P335+P334: Brush off loose particles from skin. Immerse in cool water/wrap in wet bandages. P370+P378: In case of fire: Use ... for extinction. P402+P404: Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container. P223: Keep away from any possible contact with water, because of violent reaction and possible flash fire. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It is classified into UNRTDG class 4.3 PG I. It ignites by contact with waters. (mixed touch hazardous Hb (2nd edition, 1997) p420) |
| 13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Containing no oxygen , chlorine and fluorine. |
| 15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Inorganic substance |
| 16 | Corrosive to metals | Not classified | - | - | - | - | UNRTDG Class: 4.3 |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Dermal） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Gases） | Not applicable | - | - | - | - | Solid (GHS definition) |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Vapours） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Inhalation: Dusts and mists） | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Category 1A-1C |
|
Danger | H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage |
P301+P330+P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: IF ON SKIN （or hair）: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P321: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
From statement with "Causes severe skin burns." of HSDB (2005), it was judged as caustic (Category1A-1C). |
| 3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Category 1 |
|
Danger | H318: Causes serious eye damage |
P305+P351+P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P310: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. |
From description with "Causes severe eye burns." of HSDB (2005), it was considered critical lesional and set as Category 1. |
| 4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| 8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Insufficient data available. |
| 9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | Although a potential of affecting respiratory tracts in repeated exposure is suggested (HSFS (2003)), since there is no concrete case report and data is insufficient, it cannot be classified. |
| 10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible | - | - | - | - | No data available |
| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Acute） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | It considered as the outside of Category from 48-hour EC50=1640000microg/L of Crustacea (Daphnia magna) (AQUIRE, 2003). |
| 11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment （Long-term） | Not classified | - | - | - | - | Since not water-insoluble (reactive with water (Merk 13th, 2001)) and acute toxicity is low. |
