formula
GHS08: Serious Health Hazard GHS07: Health hazard

Danger! According to the harmonised classification and labelling (ATP01) approved by the European Union, this substance may cause cancer by inhalation, causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure, may cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life and may cause an allergic skin reaction.

GHS09: Hazardous to the Environment

Additionally, the classification provided by companies to ECHA in REACH registrations identifies that this substance is fatal if inhaled, is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects, may damage fertility or the unborn child, is suspected of causing genetic defects, is harmful if swallowed, causes serious eye irritation, may cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled and causes skin irritation.

At least one company has indicated that the substance classification is affected by impurities or additives.

Consumer Uses

ECHA has no public registered data indicating whether or in which chemical products the substance might be used. ECHA has no public registered data on the routes by which this substance is most likely to be released to the environment.

Article service life

Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use: as an intermediate step in further manufacturing of another substance (use of intermediates), formulation of mixtures, manufacturing of the substance, as processing aid, formulation in materials, in the production of articles and industrial abrasion processing with low release rate (e.g. cutting of textile, cutting, machining or grinding of metal).
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from: indoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. flooring, furniture, toys, construction materials, curtains, foot-wear, leather products, paper and cardboard products, electronic equipment).
This substance can be found in complex articles, with no release intended: machinery, mechanical appliances and electrical/electronic products (e.g. computers, cameras, lamps, refrigerators, washing machines) and vehicles covered by End of Life Vehicles (ELV) directive (e.g. personal vehicles or delivery vans).
