P370+P378
P403+P235 P210 P280 P501 |
From a flash point of 71 deg C [closed-cup] (Sax (11th, 2004)) > 60 deg C and <= 93 deg C, it corresponds to Category 4. |
7 | Flammable solids | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | There is a chemical group associated with self-reactive properties (inter-reacting group) present in the molecule, but because Instability "1" is described in NFPA (14th, 2010), it is estimated not to show severe hazards. However, the classification is not possible due to no further information. |
9 | Pyrophoric liquids | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. |
10 | Pyrophoric solids | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
11 | Self-heating substances and mixtures | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Test methods applicable to liquid substances are not available. |
12 | Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | The chemical structure of the substance does not contain metals or metalloids (B, Si, P, Ge, As, Se, Sn, Sb, Te, Bi, Po, At). |
13 | Oxidizing liquids | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | Organic compounds containing no oxygen, fluorine or chlorine. |
14 | Oxidizing solids | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | Liquid (GHS definition) |
15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure. |

1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 3 |
Danger |
H301 |
P301+P310
P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501 |
It was classified in Category 3 based on an LD50 value of 50-100 mg/kg for rats (PATTY (5th, 2001)). |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | There is a description of an LD50 value of < 5 mL/kg (< 4.38 g/kg) for guinea pigs (PATTY (5th, 2001)), but the classification is not possible with the data alone. |
1 | Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | Liquid (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 | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | There is the information of little irritation to the skin of guinea pigs (PATTY (5th, 2001)), but there are no other descriptions, and the details are unknown. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible." |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It is reported that there was no severe irritation to the rabbit eye (PATTY (5th, 2001)), but there are no other descriptions, and the details are unknown. Therefore, it was classified as "Classification not possible." |
4 | Respiratory sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. |
4 | Skin sensitization | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It is described that no skin sensitization was caused in guinea pigs (PATTY (5th, 2001)), but the details are unknown. Therefore, the classification is not possible. |
5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | The classification is not possible due to no in vivo test data. Besides, as for in vitro mutagenicity tests, it was reported to be negative in an Ames test (NTP DB (1979, 1980)). |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (nervous system) |
Danger |
H370 |
P308+P311
P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
It is described that the neurotoxic effects of this substance were weakness and ataxia (HSDB (2002)), and it is reported that LD50 values by single oral exposure in rats and guinea pigs were 50-100 mg/kg, and the symptoms of weakness, ataxia, gasping respirations, and unconsciousness were observed (PATTY (5th, 2001)). Therefore, it was classified in Category 1 (nervous system). |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. |
10 | Aspiration hazard | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data available. |
