Water-white liquid with an ester-like odor; [CAMEO] |

It appears to be similar to other esters with low toxicity. It is a mild mucous membrane irritant. Animal studies show no adverse effects below 250 ppm. Its unpleasant odor limits use as a substitute for glycol ethers in the electronics industry.
