Description
Amyl mercaptan appears as a clear colorless to light-yellow liquid with an offensive odor. Flash point 65°F. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Vapors are heavier than air. May be toxic by inhalation.;Liquid;Liquid;COLOURLESS LIQUID WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.;Colourless liquid; Meaty aroma;Water-white to yellowish liquid with a strong, garlic-like odor.
