IMPORTANT DATA
Physical State; Appearance
WHITE SOLID IN VARIOUS FORMS.
Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by
ingestion.
Physical dangers
Chemical dangers
The solution in water is a weak base. Reacts with acids.
Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a nuisance-causing
concentration of airborne particles can, however, be
reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.
