Safety Profile
GHS hazard data indicates that certain hydroformylation products of octene (CAS 68527-05-9) are associated with causing skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319). Additionally, high-boiling variants (CAS 68526-89-6) may cause an allergic skin reaction (H317), all carrying a GHS07 warning pictogram.
