| Comments |
One of the two chemical components of Euxyl K400, the mixture contains 20% 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane and 80% phenoxyethanol. The former chemical is thought to be the skin sensitizer in the biocide, Euxyl K400. [Kanerva, p. 673 and 1152] A skin and eye irritant; May cause skin sensitization after prolonged contact; [ICSC] |
