UN Class or Division /  Subsidiary Risks

BENZAL CHLORIDE
98-87-3

On contact with hot surfaces or flames this substance decomposes forming toxic fumes of chlorinated compounds • Reacts violently with strong oxidants or metals • On contact with air it emits corrosive fumes (hydrogen chloride)

6.1

BENZATHONIUM CHLORIDE
121-54-0

On combustion, forms toxic and irritating gases (hydrogen chloride, nitrogen and carbon oxides) • Gives off toxic fumes in a fire

BENZENE CHLORIDE
108-90-7

The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible

The substance decomposes on heating, on burning and on contact with hot surfaces, producing corrosive and toxic fumes • Reacts with strong oxidants • Reacts violently with chlorates, dimethylsulfoxide and alkali metals causing fire and explosion hazard • Attacks rubber
