Flash Point:92.2 °C Appearance:colourless liquid Risk Codes:R24/25;R34;R40;R50/53 Safety:Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. A skin and eye irritant. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use dry chemical, CO2, alcohol foam, water spray, fog, mist. Reacts with bromine perchlorate to form an explosive product. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cl−. A solvent, heat transfer fluid, transformer, hydraulic fluid, and wash liquor. Analytical Methods: For occupational chemical analysis use NIOSH: Hexachlorobutadiene, P&CAM 307.Details Transport Information:UN 2279
