Danger

Hazard statements

May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways Appearance Colorless to yellow liquid Physical State Liquid @ 20°C/68°F; Odor Faint odor 1.013 hPa

Prevention

Avoid sparks, welding and cutting on or near drums, even if empty An improperly designed or maintained heat transfer system may permit the release of fluid, or air/moisture leakage into the system. This leakage could lower the fluid’ s flashpoint and/or produce light ends. System leaks that result in saturated insulation may, when heated over time, create a combustible mixture when suddenly exposed to air. Leakage of fluid from the system at operating temperature and pressure may cause fluid to disperse as an aerosol, which may result in flammable concentrations of vapor in the air. Thermal degradation or other decomposition of the fluid can occur in an improperly maintained heat transfer system, and also for other reasons, including operating the system above the fluid’ s recommended operating temperature and failure to maintain proper fluid velocity. Degradation or decomposition of the fluid may also create “ low boiler” hydrocarbon compounds or light ends. The occurrence of any of the foregoing conditions may lead to an increased risk of explosion and/or fire
