Isononanol



Substance name Substance name Substance name Substance name
Isononanol
CAS-No. 27458-94-2

General statement General statement General statement General statement
Isononanol is a high molecular weight alcohol which is predominantly used
for the manufacturing of high molecular weight plasticizers (mainly esters)
especially for the use in PVC formulations. Because it is used only as an
intermediate under strictly controlled conditions in chemical industry
exposure is limited.

inhalation routes of exposure.
Inhalation of high vapor concentrations
can cause CNS-depression, narcosis and
respiratory irritation.
Eye / Skin irritation Moderately Irritating to skin and risk of
serious damage to eyes.
Sensitization Not considered to be sensitizing
Toxicity after repeated
exposure
Target organ effects specific to rodents
are not relevant to human health
