When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
This chemical is very toxic by inhalation. It is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. It has a limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect and may cause sensitisation by inhalation and skin contact. This chemical is harmful to aquatic organisms as it may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. You should not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray (appropriate wording to be specified by the manufacturer). When using it, you need wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, you must seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). You should avoid releasing it to the environment, and you must refer to special instructions/safety data sheet.

You can still convert the following datas into molecular structure:
