Safety
Eye contact may cause moderate irritation or moderate corneal injury. Repeated skin contact may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Swallowing small amounts is unlikely to result in injury. Swallowing large amounts may result in injury.
Phenoxyethanol is a high boiling liquid with a low vapor pressure, so exposure to vapors is unlikely at room temperature.
Phenoxyethanol is thermally stable at typical storage and use temperatures. It can oxidize at elevated temperatures. Phenoxyethanol is readily biodegradable and has a low potential for bioconcentration. It is practically nontoxic to aquatic organisms.
