Physical description & handling notes

• Furfural appears as colorless or reddish-brown mobile liquids with a penetrating odor. Flash points 140 °F. Denser than water and soluble in water. Vapors heavier than air. May be toxic by ingestion, skin absorption or inhalation.
• Liquid
• Colorless to amber liquid with an almond-like odor. [Note: Darkens in light and air.]; [NIOSH]
• COLOURLESS-TO-PALE YELLOW OILY LIQUID WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR. TURNS RED-BROWN ON EXPOSURE TO AIR AND LIGHT.
• Colourless to yellow oily liquid which browns on storage, pungent, sweet, bread-like, caramellic, cinnamon-almond-like flavour, odour resembles benzaldehyde
• Colorless to amber liquid with an almond-like odor.
