Hazard and Precautionary Statements (GHS)

triethylbenzene Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

General Description

Colorless liquid with a weak chemical odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from contact with strong oxidizing agents. Can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds.

Health Hazard

Eye irritation by vapors or liquid. Central nervous system depression. Prolonged skin contact with liquid can cause dermatitis.

Chemical Reactivity

Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No reactions; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.

Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion.Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. Can react withoxidizers. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical.When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke andirritating fumes.
