Dusting Analysis
As a functional solvent and fragrance component rather than an active ingredient, this compound is typically used at necessary concentrations for formulation stability rather than being subject to dusting practices.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Maintains stability under standard storage conditions with high flammability characteristics. Shows complete miscibility with alcohols, ethers, and organic solvents while remaining immiscible with water.
Conflicts
- strong oxidizing agents
- some plastics
Safety
Safety Profile
Demonstrates low acute toxicity with oral LD50 exceeding 5000 mg/kg in rat studies. Regulated by RIFM/IFRA for fragrance applications, though may cause mild irritation to skin and eyes in undiluted form.
