Description of key information

Additional information

Data on physical properties were obtained from a number of secondary sources. The data in these secondary sources are based on a critical evaluation of peer-reviewed data and the selected values are considered to be reliable and representative of the property under investigation. Information in the review process was documented in the introduction of the source. The use of Klimisch codes (Klimisch et al., 1997), was extended to these secondary sources and a reliability code of (2)valid with restrictions was assigned when using the authoritative secondary source.

The flash point for benzene of -11°C and boiling point of 80.09°C indicates that this substance would be classified as R11 'highly flammable' under the DSD and as a Category 2 flammable liquid with the hazard statement "H225: highly flammable liquid and vapour" under the CLP Regulations.
