CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | N-butyl glycidyl ether appears as colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, slightly unpleasant odor. Flash point approximately 164 °F. Denser than water. Vapors are heavier than air. Vapors may irritate the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Ingestion or inhalation may cause central nervous system depression. Liquid contact may severely irritate the eyes and skin. Prolonged contact with the skin may cause defatting and drying. |
