This is a kind of colourless oily liquid and it is insoluble in water while soluble in ethanol, aether,  acetone, benzene and other organic solvent. Its product categories are including the followings: phthalates;piperazine derivates;analytical chemistry;environmental endocrine disruptors;functional materials;phthalates (environmental endocrine disruptors);phthalates (plasticizer);plasticizer;aromatics;isotope labeled compounds;miscellaneous reagents;dia - diccosmetics;plasticizers (phthalates);allergens;alpha sort;d;dalphabetic;oeko-tex standard 100;phthalatesmethod specific;volatiles/ semivolatiles.

Being a kind of toxic chemcial, it may at low levels cause damage to health. And it will have danger of very serious irreversible effects through inhalation, or in contact with skin or if swallowed. Then it may cause harm to the unborn child and it also have possible risk of impaired fertility  Besides, it is dangerous for the environment and toxic to aquatic organisms, for this kind of chemicals may present an immediate or delayed danger to one or more components of the environment. What's more, it is highly flammable for it may catch fire in contact with air, only needing brief contact with an ignition source and it has a very low flash point or evolve highly flammable gases in contact with water. 

And you should be very careful while dealing with it. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use and if in case of accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). Besides, avoid release to the environment and then refer to special instructions/safety data sheet. Then, keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. If you need more safety informaion, you could refer to the WGK Germany  2.
