CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Description | Allyl isothiocyanate, stabilized appears as a colorless to pale-yellow oily liquid with an irritating odor. Flash point 135 °F. Boiling point 300 °F. Poisonous by ingestion and skin absorption. Emits toxic fumes when heated to high temperature. Insoluble in water and slightly denser than water. Hence sinks in water. Used to make other chemicals and as a fumigant. |
