Important industrial characteristics

• High solvency: dissolves or assists processing of various organic materials and polymers.

• Water miscible: mixes readily with water and many common organic solvents.

• Hygroscopic: absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, so moisture control is important for high-purity material.

• Storage: compatible industrial containers should be selected according to the supplier's SDS; avoid incompatible materials/chemicals.

• Combustible: it should be kept away from ignition sources and incompatible oxidizing materials.

Safety / classification

Current ECHA information identifies a proposed harmonised classification of Acute Toxicity 4 (H302), Eye Damage 1 (H318), and STOT SE 3 (H336).

That means industrial handling should include appropriate gloves, eye/face protection, ventilation, spill controls, and an SDS-based storage/transport procedure.
