linear

S-H20: 0.000298 g/L @

VP: 1.8E-4 torr @

MW: 248.37 %<500 %<1000

Physical State and Misc CRSS Info:

Neat: Liquid Mfg: NK: Import Proc/Form: NK End Use: Solid:

 Submitted Data:

 Pour Point < -60 °C; BP > 300 °C; VP = 2.4E-4 hPa (1.

8E-4 torr); WS < 0.001 g/L; logP = 6.1-6.4; Ignition

Temperature = 370 °C; Dynamic Viscosity = 8.4 mPas.

Estimated Data: BP = 303 °C (EPI); WS = 0.00028 g/L

(EPI).

Consumer Use: 

SAT (concerns) (03/24/2006):

Migration to groundwater: negligible due to strong

sorption, and negligible from surface soils due to

biodegradation and sorption

PBT rating: P1B1T2

Health: 1-2 Dermal, Drinking Water, Inhalation, Ingestion,

XB Testing (No testing because already done)

Eco: 3 Water (All releases to water with CC = 1 ppb), XB

Testing (Testing desired)

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE RATING: 1C

NOTES & KEY ASSUMPTIONS:

Generated by the 06/07/2005 version of ChemSTEER. PMN is

imported; therefore, manufacturing operations are no

assessed.// The submitter was contacted to determine the

number of end-use sites and waste handling information of

4/3/2006. The submitter responded on 5/10/2006 that

there are less than end-use sites but did not provide

waste ahndling information.

POLLUTION PREVENTION CONSIDERATIONS:

EXPOSURE-BASED REVIEW: 

1) # of workers exposed: >1000?

2) >100 workers with >10 mg/day inhalation exposure: 

3) (a) >100 workers w/1-10 mg/day inh. exp. & >100

days/yr: 

 (b) Routine Dermal Cont: >250 workers & >100 days/yr:
