Basic Safety Data
Raffinate II is highly volatile, flammable liquid, which is stored under pressure in pressure containers. When released into the environment with atmospheric pressure, vaporization by boiling at temperatures down to -40 °C occurs- causing a high risk of burns.
Raffinate II may contain methanol in the amounts of up to 5 %.
The product is classified as hazardous pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 CLP.
