According to UN GHS Criteria Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Pack Group: III
STORAGE
Separated from strong oxidants, strong acids and food and feedstuffs. Dry. Well closed. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

ANILINE HYDROCHLORIDE

ICSC: 1013

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL INFORMATION
Physical State; Appearance HYGROSCOPIC WHITE CRYSTALS. TURNS DARK ON EXPOSURE TO AIR AND LIGHT. Physical dangers Chemical dangers Decomposes on heating and on contact with acids. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes including aniline, nitrogen oxides and hydrogen chloride. Reacts violently with oxidants. This generates fire and explosion hazard.	Formula: C₆H₈ClN / C₆H₇N . HCl Molecular mass: 129.59 Boiling point: 245°C Melting point: 196-202°C Density: 1.22 g/cm³ Solubility in water, g/100ml at 20°C: 107 Relative vapour density (air = 1): 4.46 Flash point: 193°C o.c.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS
Routes of exposure The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion. Effects of short-term exposure The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. Exposure at high levels could cause death. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed. See Notes.	Inhalation risk No indication can be given about the rate at which a harmful concentration of this substance in the air is reached on evaporation at 20°C. Effects of long-term or repeated exposure Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin.

EXPOSURE & HEALTH EFFECTS

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the blood. This may result in the formation of methaemoglobin. Exposure at high levels could cause death. Medical observation is indicated. The effects may be delayed. See Notes.

Inhalation risk
