Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. Wildly toxic by skin contact. A toxic compound that can damage the kidneys and the liver. It is similar to cyclohexanol in its toxic action, although it is somewhat less active. Harmful exposure in industry is rare. Experimental animals can withstand prolonged exposures of 0.02-0.05% by volume in air. Flammable liquid when exposed to heat, sparks, or flame. Can react violently with HNO3 and other oxidizers. To fight fre, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
