| Acute toxicity |
|
LD50 (oral, rat): > 20 g/kg The literature data available to us do not conform with the labelling prescribed by the EC. The EC has dossiers of the manufacturers which have not been published. |
| Subacute to chronic toxicity |
| Animal experiments performed under conditions comparable with the workplace situation have shown the substance to be carcinogenic. The carcinogenic potential requires further clarification. |
| Further toxicological information |
|
After inhalation: Irritations of the mucous membranes, coughing, and dyspnoea. After skin contact: Irritations. After eye contact: Irritations.

| 13. Disposal considerations |
| Product: |
| There are no uniform EC Regulations for the disposal of chemicals or residues. Chemical residues generally count as special waste. The disposal of the latter is regulated in the EC member countries through corresponding laws and regulations. We recommend that you contact either the authorities in charge or approved waste disposal companies which will advise you on how to dispose of special waste. |
| Packaging: |
| Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging in the same way as the substance itself. If not officially specified differently, non-contaminated packaging may be treated like household waste or recycled. |
