Physical and chemical properties 9.1 Appearance: Aerosol spray, water, white 9.1.1 Odour: Organic solvents 9.1.2 Solubility Soluble in water 9.2 Safety- relevant data Flash point - 40ºC propellant Auto-ignition temperature 410ºC Flammability limit lower % 1.8 Flammability limit upper % 12 10. Stability and reactivity 10.1 Stability Normally stable 10.2 Conditions to avoid and materials to avoid: As aerosols. Avoid heat, flames and other sources of ignition. Avoid contact with: strong oxidising agents, strong alkalis, strong mineral acids. 10.3 Hazardous decomposition products: Fire creates: vapours / gases / fumes of: Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2). 11. Toxicological information 11.1 Health hazards general. Prolonged and repeated contact with solvents over long periods may lead to permanent health problems. 11.1.1 Inhalation Gas or vapour in high concentrations may irritate respiratory system. Gas or vapour displaces oxygen available for breathing (asphyxiation). Solvent vapours are hazardous and may cause nausea, sickness and headaches. 11.1.2 Skin May cause defatting of the skin, but is not an irritant. Prolonged or repeated contact leads to drying of the skin. 11.1.3 Eyes Accidental spray and vapour in the eyes may cause irritation and smarting. Wash eyes with pure water and seek medical aid as required. Repeated exposure may cause eye irritation. 11.2 Route of entry Inhalation 12. Ecological information 12.1 Data on possible environmental effects have been found. On information available, the limited quantity would not be expected to produce ecologically damaging effects. 13. Disposal considerations 13.1 Empty containers must not be burned because of explosion hazard. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations. Contact specialist disposal companies. 3
